Archaeomythology

Archaeomythology is the study of how myths and legends relate to archaeological finds and ancient cultures. It explores how stories and traditions may have origins in real historical events, practices, or environments. By analyzing mythological texts alongside archaeological evidence, researchers can gain insights into ancient beliefs, societal structures, and daily life. This interdisciplinary approach helps bridge the gap between cultural stories and physical remnants of the past, deepening our understanding of how ancient peoples interpreted and remembered their world.
