Mythology and Symbolism of Eurasia and Indigenous Americas by Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba Pdf

A system of myths, symbols, and rituals, dating back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic, survives in present-day imagery. In exploring this system, special attention is drawn to the linkage between ancient and contemporary civilizations of Eurasia and Mesoamerica, as seen in their cosmology, and expressed in common mythological and iconographic themes. The author examines contemporary Middle American and eastern European textiles, especially women’s garments, that contain an elaborated sacred code of symbols, and include remnants of the four horizontal directions, and the three vertical worlds that portray the structure of the universe. The cosmology contained in patterns around the world denotes striking parallels that attest to internal connections between different cultures, beyond time and place.

Stretching from the north to the south of the Western Hemisphere, the indigenous Americans have a long-forgotten history, and with that, myths, legends, and stories that have been passed on through generations.

In this guide, you'll read about: Native American gods and goddesses that were worshiped by the aboriginals Some historical background, and the connection to their beliefs. The most important, best-known legends that have been told and written on cave walls. Stories that have been told on the American continent about the creation of the world. The myths and truths about supernatural powers shaman and other native Americans had (or didn't have). Native American beliefs about birth, death, and the afterlife. To get a grasp of the original inhabitants of the United States, Canada, and Latin American nations, it is crucial to understand the roots of where it all came from, and what was going on in people's minds before the European settlers arrived.

Myths and Symbols, Or Aboriginal Religions in America (Classic Reprint) by Stephen Denison Peet Pdf

Excerpt from Myths and Symbols, or Aboriginal Religions in America Now, this is a mere summary, but it shows that there were many different forms of religion and dif ferent systems of mythology, on the continent of North America, and that they all corresponded to the geographical surroundings. The origin Of these religions and the different stages through which they have passed, is another point, but so far as they have been studied, the systems all were closely con formed to the geographical situation. We are not able to trace any of these systems back to a very early period; certainly no such early period as existed in the lands Of the far East, but we do find an adapta tion to the surroundings, which are quite as striking as any that can be traced in other lands.

Making Scenes by Iain Davidson,April Nowell Pdf

Dating back to at least 50,000 years ago, rock art is one of the oldest forms of human symbolic expression. Geographically, it spans all the continents on Earth. Scenes are common in some rock art, and recent work suggests that there are some hints of expression that looks like some of the conventions of western scenic art. In this unique volume examining the nature of scenes in rock art, researchers examine what defines a scene, what are the necessary elements of a scene, and what can the evolutionary history tell us about storytelling, sequential memory, and cognitive evolution among ancient and living cultures?
