cargo cult from interaction with ancient pastoral people, the first to develop the processes for animal husbandry and domestication of cattle.
Aurochs covered the Eurasian continent at the time. On foot they were dangerous to hunt. It wasn't until the horse was domesticated that they could be corralled, tamed, and bred into the domestic cow.

My guess is the ancient aurochs hunter/tamers took human slaves/conscripts in exchange for the technology and trade they brought to backward people that elevated their "fortunes".
This is how "giving your children to the cow gods" probably evolved into molech.
In old cave paintings the aurochs was the earliest and most painted symbol, and in the cradle of civilization. It became the letter "A" or Ur (aryan runic Ur-Ox (Aurochs) and Aleph (egyptian phoenician)
