"A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume 1 (of 6)" by Jacob Bryant is a scholarly treatise written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the realm of mythology, attempting to strip away the fanciful elements traditionally associated with it and restore a clearer understanding of historical truths as they relate to various ancient cultures. It serves as a critical analysis of myths, aiming to reveal the shared origins of legends across different civilizations. At the start of the text, the author outlines his ambitious method and purpose, which involves scrutinizing the early ages of humanity and significant events informed by both Gentile writers and biblical accounts. Bryant's intent is to elucidate how ancient myths often reflect real historical events, specifically focusing on the figures, migratory patterns, and cultural rites of early civilizations. He indicates that he will examine the origins of humanity as derived from biblical accounts while also investigating the connections between different nations and their customs, asserting that many of the revered figures in mythology are echoes of actual peoples and events from history.
