Glen, how do you know that these "European symbolisms" existed in
Europe based on archaeological evidence before Ubaid culture. Have
you found any extant inscriptions of what colours were associated
with what features? No, all you write about is a Gordonesque
reconstruction drawn heavily from Gambutas's more fanciful writings.
Gambutas has been heavily criticised in her "Realm of the Goddess"
writings. Check them out on the web. Ubaid culture was also a
contemporary with Gambutas's "Old Europe", not a later culture. All
European writings on the "many European symbolisms" are in fact long
AFTER the Sumerians wrote their systems down.
