The ancient near east was the cradle of the unconscious mind, where humanity's creative imagination found full expression for the first time. It was also where the modern conscious ego, with its intellectual bias, showed first signs of mature development. In between these two psychological events lies the Age of Myth. This period of history is the lost childhood of civilized man - partly forgotten, partly repressed and deried by the intellect, but still surviving in the depths of the unconscious waiting to be retrieved like the Golden Fleece or the Grail.
