>>40873147Dark stones have always been revered. There were even stories about flying black stones or black stones that broadcast. I don't know if it was something astral or some kind of technology
nevertheless, in Rome there was also a black arena for performances, it was believed that Rem was buried in a black stone. Considering that all fratricidal myths tell the same thing, it can be assumed that Osiris and Abel are also associated with the black stone
mother goddesses were also associated with black stones, but often (if you delve into the myths) you can understand that mothers, although they were depicted anthropomorphically, were still associated with a special tree and a certain black stone. That is, this is a certain place of residence of either locked gods (tartarus), or simply a place of residence of gods (btw caer sidi in annwn was also described as a rotating cube fortress).
Fereydun is born in the quadrangular varna (an analogue of Hercules is considered), and there everything is clearly again connected with some space, a cube as if underground, many Vedic and Iranian heroes are connected with water and reeds. This should be discussed separately (although perhaps water is a portal between worlds)
Jamshid (Yima, Yama, Scandinavian Ymir) also experiences a flood in a cube, he was connected with a special cup (Cup of Jamshid). The Sumerian analogue of Noah also does not build a ship, but builds a cube and plunges into the abyss (he says in the myth that he must go down to his father Enki-ea. that is, people experienced a flood underground)
Perhaps Moloch is also connected with the cube and children were burned in the cube. that is, a cube is an oven. in Hebrew olah means burnt offering and climbing up the steps. running around the cube is a ritual to drown out the cries of children. in the cult of baal they always ran and danced and it was forbidden to cry
it's hard to say, but something is wrong with the cube
