He examines how ancient cultures interpreted comets not merely as astronomical phenomena, but as divine warnings of catastrophe. The elongated shape of certain comets resembled a fiery sword to observers across multiple civilizations, a symbol universally associated with war and impending death. This wasn't superstition divorced from observation. It was pattern recognition rooted in experience, cultures remembering previous encounters with cosmic events that coincided with genuine devastation. The fear these objects inspired wasn't irrational given what the geological and historical record suggests about impact events and atmospheric disturbances. When you understand that comets have periodically interacted with Earth in ways that reshaped landscapes and collapsed societies, the ancient dread begins to look less like mythology and more like inherited trauma encoded in cultural memory.
