Fifty thousand years after Neanderthals buried their family members in caves, Predynastic Egypt began to develop. Early burials were in simple, shallow pits with a few burial goods. By 3500 BCE, mummification began, and complex rituals were performed to help the deceased enter the afterlife. And the rest, as they say, is history. Or is it? After centuries of time, various religions have come and gone, we have travelled to the Moon and back, but we still have no scientific proof that heaven exists.
Most books approach the topic of life after death in narrow ways. The Heaven Hypothesis is different in that it encompasses every aspect of the topic, covering science, prehistory, history, philosophy, religion, brain science, and recent experimentation. It is a compendium, an “everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask” type of book. It examines our beliefs in the afterlife. When did the belief in heaven begin? Is it a place or a state of consciousness? Is it just a hallucination of a dying brain? The author believes we are on the verge of being able to answer those questions. |
