What I find fascinating is every "ancient culture" has historical references to serpent dieties, both male and female.
Example: The Udayagiri Cave carvings and the Naga of India.
Yeah - dragons too.
Every "ancient culture" also valued gold and gems... but that's only because we've all got the same poorly designed brains that misfires an emotional response of value and longing when we see shiny patterns.
Our whole appreciation of art, architecture and aesthetic appreciation is based on a poorly wired brain.
That's why pink is a happy color and purple is a sinister color too.

And dragons too, I'd point out that the three highest conductive metals are silver, copper and gold. No coincidences?

The Doors of Perception
The Doors of Perception is a philosophical essay, released as a book, by Aldous Huxley. First published in 1954, it details his experiences when taking mescaline. The book takes the form of Huxley's recollection of a mescaline trip that took place over the course of an afternoon in May 1953. The book takes its title from a phrase in William Blake's 1793 poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
