Mythanalysis goes hand in hand with a reconstructed natural history to permit great advances in translating symbols and making sense out of the apparently senseless. This will be true not only of so-called primitive and ancient myth. But also of the great bodies of material summed up in the Bible, the Vedas, the Koran, and other sacred religio-moral-historical works. If the effect of massive collective shock is the suppression of memory, another effect is the partly conscious and vigorous design of methods for ridding humans of the impressions and anxieties bubbling up from the repressed memories.

... , it was in the entire Bible- in the Psalms and the books of the prophets. Again and again the orator, the prophet, tells you of the terrific phenomena that took place about the time Israel left Egypt.

The Jews have given us the story of Noah, who with his wife, three son and their wives were carried safely through a great Flood which destroyed all others. They landed on Mount Ararat in present-day Armenia. The Koran informs us that Noah and other believers were the only ones to survive a great Flood.

... in their myths the surprising temperature of the waters which, as they correctly report, were surging towards the north. The Jews were not ignorant of this trait as their myths record that many' of the corrupt antediluvians might perhaps not have perished in the flood had not the Lord made the waters hot (Note 67). In the Koran a reference to the temperature of the waters of the flood is to be found in the otherwise senseless statement that the source of the deluge was in an oven'.

... more than to challenge such a perfect science by recourse, horribile dictu, to the Scriptures as a historical document. That Worlds in Collision contains much folklore, or old wives' tales, ' was not so ludicrous as the fact that it brought the Old Testament back into the debate. The citation of passages from the Vedas, the Koran, and Mexican holy books was not so insulting as quotation from the Hebrew Bible.
