In reconstructing the prehistory of consciousness, Jaynes ranges freely over continents and millennia and takes hundreds of pages to do it. Considering this scope and the detail into which he goes, I ...

... , he feels, are old and primitive and magnetic. The things that thrill and amaze us in Hamlet or the Agamemnon are not any historical particulars about medieval Elsinore or prehistoric Mycenae, but things belonging to the old stories and the old magic rites, which stirred and thrilled our forefathers five and six thousand years ago; set them dancing ... worldwide catastrophes. Nonetheless, we are affected deeply and collectively by Hamlet because its general action corresponds to a universal pattern of archetype and myth which goes far back into tribal prehistory, and emerges in varying but interrelated forms in many different societies. This anthropological universality enables us to look at Hamlet as the heightened manifestation of an incredibly basic story ...

The only logical place for the great Calendar ... of Tiahuanaco had been the greatest and most intriguing of all these puzzles. The despondency of Professor Posnansky is deplorable, for he marches far ahead of all other Americanists and prehistorians, and is not timid regarding the explanation of the observed facts. One cannot help feeling sorry for him, for the satisfactory unravelling of the mysteries of the Andinian ...
