If we could accurately interpret ancient myths, they might give us insight into celestial and Earthly events that could revise our views of the history of the solar system. In turn, they could teach us about the forces at work and explain anomalies bequeathed to us by a long-hidden past. But how can we interpret these myths, the products of minds so far removed from ours? Are we doomed to speculate without ever achieving certainty?
Here we will interpret two Bronze Age myths that show how difficult it is to interpret them correctly and illustrate the high value such myths might contain. We will also explain why we should consider the interpretations correct, and note how simple it can be to understand a myth once the right interpretation becomes available.
