Mythology And Symbolism Of Eurasia And Indigenous Americas: Manifestations In Artifacts And Rituals

There is a continuity of a cohesive system of symbols and patterns from the Paleolithic and the Neolithic that survives in present-day imagery. This linkage is evident in the analysis of popular art, mythology, and rituals of eastern Europe, as well as among the Indigenous peoples across the Americas. This connection suggests that these civilizations have common symbolic and mythological roots, and the patterns had special significance for the people who produced them; it also points out to internal connections beyond words present in the collective unconscious. The understanding of commonalities underlying the above seemingly distant cultures demonstrates that, despite appearances, there is more that unites us than that divides us.
