Abstract
The human loss of the sense of sacred has been driven by a mechanization of the world that privileges the mundane and the material. Yet the earliest surviving history of the human mind reveals a widespread, embodied human faculty for perception of the cosmos and an intimate human relation to the cosmos.  This history hints of an origin story that may be partly recovered by sacred relics of human prehistory.
