What is the secret of the timeless vision? From what profundity of the mind does it derive? Why is mythology everywhere the same, beneath its varieties of costume? And what does it teach>

Today many scientists are contributing to the analysis of the riddle. Archeologists are probing the ruins of Iraq, Honan, Crete and Yucatan. Ethnologists are questioning the Ostiaks of the river Ob, the Bobies of Fernando Po. A generation of Orientalists has recently thrown open the sacred writings of the East, as well as the pre-Hebrew sources of our own Holy Write. And meanwhile another host of scholars, pressing researches begun last century in the field of folk psychology, has been seeking to establish the psychological bases of language, myth, religion, art development, and moral codes. ~ Page 2
