When anthropologists compare ancient artifacts from south america, europe, and australia they often find similarities among the images that are depicted. based on jung's analytical psychology, some of these apparent similarities may stem from:

the collective unconscious  

Explanation:

The collective unconscious: The concept of collective unconscious was proposed by the famous psychoanalyst named Carl Jung and is also referred to as the objective psyche. According to Carl Jung, the collective unconscious is described as the aspects that a section or portion of the deepest unconscious mind isn't created through personal experience but rather it is being genetically inherited.

Carl Jung believed that an individual is unaware of the different items stored in his or her collective unconscious.

Example: the father-child or mother-child relationship.
