Ancient Civilizations: Season 1, Episode 3

1 - 3: Tree of Life

The tree of life or Axis Mundi is a key concept found in many ancient belief systems. Primarily, it is the central axis upon which the entire world and universe is held aloft. We explore the tree of life, as it is conceptualized in many enduring spiritual traditions, including Abrahamic, Mayan, Vedic and Norse beliefs, to discover that it is much more than a pervasive myth. Encoded within the lore, we find a deeper understanding of how we were created, the secret to unlocking the divine spark within and perhaps the secrets to immortality.
