Were the Indians really unaware of lunar eclipse? People living in the nature probably were quite familiar with the phenomenon, so they couldn't predict it, but were not surprised when happened. This sounds like a made-up story from the time of Enlightenment illustrating the deification of Knowledge.
- gassius 2y agoIs not the phenom in itself, is the fact that someone can predict/call upon it that was surprising. The fact that they had already given esoteric meanings to the phenom previously is just the icing of the cake. And I for one am grateful for the Enlightenment illustrating the deification of Knowledge
