The conceptualisation of time and space in the European tradition has its beginning in the Old Testament in the first Book of
Moses (Genesis) and is therefore the basis of all cultures that arise from Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).
The construction of future as the third time dimension is developed only in the New Testament and can provide an
explanation of the different social structure of societies that are built only on the Christian culture.
Time and space in the myths of native (non-European) nations are drawn according to the lifestyles of the nations ? resident
or itinerating, and it is therefore possible to deduce on the occupation of the nations ? agriculture or pasturage. The analysis
of symbols used in concrete myths can also help identify the nations, as symbols transfer imaginary phenomena to those
comprehensible to all members of the given culture. Examples of a symbolic system of time and space are calendar, liturgical
year, annual and family ceremoniousness, etc.
