Mythico-Ritual Planes

 In anthropological terms, we can speak of four great narrative periods according to the symbolic complexity of communications: the Anima Mundi plane, that of the King-God, that of Universal Law, and that of Human Law. 

The mythical plane of the anima mundi, which begins with the Middle-Upper Paleolithic, is made up of the narratives of the so-called cold societies, linked to hunter-gatherer economies. In the Neolithic, the narrative plane of the King-God arises with the narratives of the harvest and the myths of the city. For its part, the plane of Universal Law, which begins with the progressive independence of the law with respect to the figure of the King-God, arises after the 16th century BC, approximately after the Hycso interregnum in Egypt, and is made up of the narratives of the state religions that reify an objective order of the universe, from which the transcendentalist narratives of the first philosophy will be derived. Finally, the narrative plane of Human Law, which begins towards the 6th century BC, is made up of the humanist narratives of science and anthropological philosophy. This mythical evolution is not a linear phenomenon, since the new plane absorbs the old one, although not all the elements of the old one remain. Several planes can coexist at the same time in different places, human cultures have evolved without spatial homogeneity.
