- More about Mythology and Symbolism of Eurasia and Indigenous Americas: Manifestations in Artifacts and Rituals
A system of myths, symbols, and rituals from the Paleolithic and Neolithic era is still present in modern imagery, with a focus on the connection between ancient and contemporary civilizations in Eurasia and Mesoamerica. Contemporary Middle American and eastern European textiles, particularly women's garments, contain an elaborate sacred code of symbols that reflect the universe's structure. These patterns reveal striking parallels between different cultures, transcending time and place.

A system of myths, symbols, and rituals dating back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods continues to be evident in present-day imagery. In exploring this system, particular attention is given to the connection between ancient and contemporary civilizations in Eurasia and Mesoamerica, as evident in their cosmology and expressed through shared mythological and iconographic themes. The author delves into contemporary Middle American and eastern European textiles, particularly women's garments, which contain an intricate sacred code of symbols and incorporate remnants of the four horizontal directions and the three vertical worlds that depict the structure of the universe. The cosmology found in patterns across the globe reveals striking parallels that attest to the internal connections between diverse cultures, transcending time and space.
