This is from Hittian capital
The earliest reference we have to a goddess worshipped as a cube-shaped stone is from neolithic Anatolia. Alternatively, 'Kubaba' may mean a hollow vessel or cave - which would still be a supreme image of the goddess. The ideograms for Kubaba in the Hittite alphabet are a lozenge or cube, a double-headed axe, a dove, a vase and a door or gate - all images of the goddess in neolithic Europe.
Deities of other cultures known to have been associated with black stones include Aphrodite at Paphos, Cybele at Pessinus and later Rome, Astarte at Byblos and the famous Artemis/Diana of Ephesus. The latter's most ancient sculpture was, it is said, carved from a black meteorite.
They put rock on uterus=ground-element-ambiguity=duplicity=ambivalence=dualism and they have portrait=display of universe=body+head,virtual one!But real presentation was individual inside their heads.
Good job Aeoli. Stone=head is still on top of graves. That's the symbolism of III=The First-Superior-Supreme on Earth,beneath and above!You never knows where you go after death.
Probably the same is with this ///=Maternal=Sanctified on Earth,beneath and above!
I guess the square and stone/rock and black and mother goddess all represent the Earth/world/planet (and tomb?) [and male fertility?] Black can also symbolise celestial/space.
(Great) Pyamid? Delphi? Kubaba? Petra? Kaaba? Shetiyah? Clito of Atlantis city (Tiahuanaco) may also be a stone in the centre? Stone of Scone? Jesus foundation/corner stone? The 5th monarchy stone/rock of Daniel? Grail stone? Hoary rock in the wood [Dover] (Scilly/Lyonesse)? Tarshish "region of the stone" [Megalithic/Tartessos]? Stone Age? Papeus? [Myriadam?]
(Ephesus church age in Revelation is Jerusalem church, Diana/Artemis virgin goddess.)
