A bennünk élö mítosz watch online HD

Eight-episode documentary exploring the myths, rites, stories and symbols shared by the world's cultures, from creation to the end of the world.

"A Bennünk Élö Mítosz" (The Myth Within) is the first television documentary series which explores many of the world's mythological systems in a chronological order to find the common points of myths and legends which connect cultures thousands of miles and years apart. More than two dozen academic experts from various fields introduce and discuss common mythological themes such as the creation of the world and of humanity, the Golden Age, the Great Flood, the structure of the world, the hero's journey, mythical creatures, the end of the world, the purpose and workings of rites, and the ways to connect to the sacred world.

The series was produced for over two years, with the idea first put forward in the beginning of 2004. After months of research and negotiations with the experts later featured in the program, filming started in the spring of 2005, and the premiere in March 2006.

Thirty-three hours of interviews were shot for the series. Since many hours of material did not get into the aired episodes because of time constraints, a DVD release including much of the extra footage was considered by the show's creators. However, the DVD was delayed as the recession set in, and the interview tapes were erased a few years later, rendering a future release impossible.
