In order for the new science of history to clearly comprehend these fabulous origins, the beginning of each ”˜national’ analysis was with the science of ”˜mythology, or the interpretation of fable’.17 The investigation of mythology necessitated an examination of three essential institutional constants - religion, marriage and the burial of the dead - that emerged early in the lifecycle of all cultures, and which, if properly and ”˜scientifically’ understood, would reveal the eternal principles and essential common nature of all societies.
