Episode 39: Summer Solstice Mysteries
The Summer Solstice, the day marking the longest period of daylight in the year, has been celebrated across the globe since time immemorial. The significance of this celestial event transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, weaving a tapestry of traditions, myths, and scientific observations. Here, we explore six captivating mysteries linked to the solstice. These mysteries include the solstice alignment at Stonehenge, the legend of the Phoenix, Midsummer’s Eve and its supernatural beliefs, the ancient Egyptian connection, Native American Sun Dances, and the secrets of the Nordic Midsummer Pole.
