I heard about this a few years ago, and thought it was cool, but 2 days ago I heard it being talked about on another podcast. I didn't research it on my own. I google searched and I am linking the first thing I saw, but I was curious if anyone has heard about it or researched it.
2 parts- first part about the names of mars moons, 2nd part about our sky has changed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Mars
Mars 2 moons are called Phobos and Deimos, and it was the end of the 1800s that we had the telescope to see them. The podcast I listened to was linking writing and beliefs far earlier than the late 1800s with references to mars's 2 moons and writings about the abnormal movement of mars and close proximity to earth.
Here are a few:
-Voltaire-short story 1752
-Swift with Gullivers Traveles -1726
-Homer Illiad- 700 B.C.
Ovidus Metamorphus- talks about Mars behaving differently than it does now, being much closer to earth, and providing illumination -8th century roman poet
-Epic of Gilgamesh talks about the irregular movement of mars causing the flood, and strange fire being produced between the close proximity of mars and the moon (both look like they have damage to them.)
-Pagan writers talking about mars shine like it is moonshine
-The Bible talks about the stars being entities or being moved by entities, about them disobeying, and changing their courses, talks about them moving or standing still
Has anyone looked into either of these concepts?
Does anyone think the 2 moons of mars could have been discovered far earlier than the current invention of telescope that allowed us to see the moons?
Do you think the sky has changed in our past, or that Mars has come close to earth?
