Finding an Ancient Earth Mother

Last updated on: May 14, 2019 at 8:06 am By Guest Contributor

One thing that you learn by studying history is that the gods change. They change because the climate changes, or the people worshiping change, or the people think new thoughts and their gods reflect that. By learning about the Hittite Earth Mother we get a glimpse into something that is very old and didn’t have time to change. Read more
