Hasn’t the idea of Goddess cultures been rejected by archaeological scholars?
A. The archaeological and anthropological material in “Cakes” comes from the work of top scholars. However, to this day, not all scholars agree with their interpretations and conclusions. That is precisely the point. . . . While we can never know for sure what beliefs and values were held by ancient people, there can be more than one interpretation of the facts that we do know. Interpretations built upon interpretations built upon interpretations lead to concepts and ideas that no longer resemble the facts. It is necessary for original material to be revisited and re-evaluated from new perspectives to see if old interpretations still hold true or if new interpretations are more appropriate.
