For thousands of years, the moon has been the most important deity of many cultures - ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Chinese, etc., which convincingly proves the single origin of the worldview and religion of different peoples. The main symbols of the moon - bull, lamb, fish, snake, rook of the dead and ark - are constantly found in myths of many countries and in images around the globe. The historical and ethnographic narrative of E. Zeren, known to the reader from the book "Biblical Hills," summarized the work of hundreds of scientists who devoted themselves to studying the roots of religious symbols and mythological traditions.
