Dreamtime and the Seven Sisters - The World’s oldest story is about Pleiades
Within the original cultures of Australia, a story is told, called Dreamtime, reflecting the world at the time of colonization of the continent and it uses the constellations of Orion and Pleiades to tell it’s story of hunters chasing women. The same story is told in Greece, and so believe the story to have the same source due to overlapping information.
In this video I’ll explore these myths, the similarities, but also potential problems in the early source hypothesis. The result is that these stories are very old, but are they as old as we think they are?
