traveling fool you didn't exactly centralize your opening post, I actually came to input, but I quickly became lost in what your theme is. It's like an overall clustered mess, with no existing correlation between references, aside from maybe two, but both are inconclusive as to concise a proper/meaningful retort to this non-existent question you didn't bother asking...at least satiate curiosity, with a question for the community to answer, thats usually the point of a discussion thread's subject matter. This isn't said to you, to get on your back, it's said as means of hoping you understand where an unbiased third-party is coming from, when reading this, and is genuinely confused as all hell.
well yea I don't exactly understand everything myself and that why I asked for help to decode the true meaning of kingdom hearts I don't know if you saw that thread. its been confusing to me too. believe or not all this arguing has brough clarity to a few things for me. but it has to do with agriculture because its how ancient humans survived so know the cycle of the sun was actually life saving stuff in ancient times. that's why this symbology is the basis of most all religions, tv shows, comic books, movies
it also has to do with early animal domestication, sheep herding, shepherds and what not.
The first animals known to have been domesticated as a source of food are sheep in the Middle East. The proof is the high proportion of bones of one-year-old sheep discarded in a settlement at Shanidar, in what is now northern Iraq. Goats follow soon after, and these two become the standard animals of the nomadic pastoralists - tribes which move all year long with their flocks, guided by the availability of fresh grass.
Cattle and pigs, associated more with settled communities, are domesticated slightly later - but probably not long after 7000 BC. The ox may first have been bred by humans in western Asia. The pig is probably first domesticated in China.
The first reason for herding sheep and goats, or keeping cattle and pigs in the village, is to secure a regular supply of fresh meat. The hunter is dependent on the luck of the chase; if more animals are killed than can be immediately consumed, meals from the surplus will be increasingly unpleasant as the days go by. The herdsman, by contrast, has a living larder always to hand and a supply of dairy products as well.
These animals also provide for almost every other need of neolithic man. While they are alive, they produce dung to manure the crops. When they are dead, leather and wool for garments; horn and bone for sharp points, of needles or arrows; fat for tallow candles; hooves for glue

HISTORY OF THE DOMESTICATION OF ANIMALS
the ancients understood that it was the power of the sun that gave man life on earth and so they have worshipped it since ancient time and yes even sacrificed to it. I hate to say what I know most of you will hate but the 7 princesses of hearts is about blood sacrifice.
