Essays on the role of Venus and Mars in ancient myth and modern science.
'''''On Fossil Gods and Forgotten Worlds''''' is a 2010 collection of essays by the comparative mythologist [[Ev Cochrane]], published through Lulu. The essays concern the role of the planets Venus and Mars in ancient myth and their relation to modern science.
 
==Overview==
 
Cochrane argues that ancient peoples were traumatized survivors of planetary catastrophes, and that the memory of these celestial events was encoded in the world's myths and re-enacted in ritual. Drawing on figures such as Horus, Thor, and Inanna, he links recurring mythic motifs to a proposed history of dramatic interactions among nearby planetary bodies. The work belongs to the catastrophist and "Saturn theory" tradition associated with the ''Thunderbolts'' / Electric Universe milieu.
