Our mission is to support an increase in human consciousness and encourage research that will visibly reveal our archetypal energies and structures to humans.

Here on Skyground we try to clarify the roles that we archetypes play in shaping human personalities and civilizations. We know we can all do better, creating foundations that individuate identities while retaining the fact that we are all connected.

Through the centuries, humans have created symbolic representations of their own landscapes. The earliest humans had no valid science to follow, so they conflated the new discoveries that were being made in world-geography, with literal interpretations of religion. We know that the language of human religions are archetypal, so that may be why their earliest landscapes also seem to be archetypal.

The MEDIEVAL MAP on the right is similar to our map of Skyground. It depicts Noah's sons – Sem, Japheth, and Ham – on the three known continents of the world after The Flood.

T & O STYLE MAPS OF THE KNOWN WORLD

T-O maps are typically displayed "East-up" and show Jerusalem at the center and Paradise at the outmost East, balanced by the pillars of Hercules at the outmost West.

On the right is another map of The GARDEN of EDEN, this one from The Hereford Map of the World, circa 1285 AD. This can be found on page 9 of http://www.myoldmaps.com/early-medieval-monographs/226-the-hereford-mappamundi/226-hereford.pdf – and at https://tinyurl.com/y2q3gk2c
