Description	Hamlet's Mill (first published by Gambit, Boston, 1969) by Giorgio de Santillana (a professor of the history of science at MIT) and Hertha von Dechend (a scientist at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität) is a nonfiction work of history and comparative mythology, particularly the subfield of archaeoastronomy. It is mostly about the claim of a Megalithic era discovery of axial precession, and the encoding of this knowledge in mythology.The book was not well received by critics, in spite of the admission of occasional "flashes of insight" it may contain.Jaan Puhvel (1970) "This is not a serious scholarly work on the problem of myth [...] There are frequent flashes of insight, for example, on the cyclical world views of the ancients"
