Summary/Abstract: In the consciousness of humanity, the myths, legends and stories that have survived among different peoples and civilizations, represent valuable historical, psychological, social and artistic study material. The ritual practices, cave paintings, idols, signs and symbols that have survived from the Upper Palaeolithic period have formed a vocabulary that specialists in the modern and contemporary periods have been able to interpret in order to delineate the stages of evolution of self-consciousness and the collective subconscious, as well as the role of artistic practices in this process of continuous formation.
