David Talbott’s 1980 book, The Saturn Myth, proposes that the planet Saturn was the most visible and largest body in the Earth’s sky only a few thousand years ago. He proposes that common archetypal symbols like, crosses, ‘all seeing eyes,’ totem poles, and even obelisks, are original symbolic representations of the visible planet Saturn and its related phenomena.
Talbott proposes that all myth descended from this once present celestial body: monolithic religions, fairy tales and legend—hero journeys, north poles, and mountains which ascended into the cosmic heavens (and even the idea of heaven). Talbott suggests that the actual planet Saturn was the original ‘god’ who lived in the sky and ruled ‘over’ humanity.
