🌳 This tree, crafted 3,200 to 3,800 years ago, may symbolically depict the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil from Genesis 2–3:
🍎 Fruit-bearing branches → Echoes the forbidden fruit.
🐍 Serpent-like figure with horns and appendages → Pre-fall serpent.
⚔️ Ornate knife-shaped leaves → Represent danger or prohibition.
✋ Human hand alongside serpent → Possible representation of Eve.
⏳ Captures the moment before the Fall, potentially reflecting a shared ancient memory or oral tradition predating the writing of Genesis.
🧭 Implications Suggested:
🌍 This would align the Sanxingdui civilization with a broader post-Flood dispersion of humanity that carried core ancestral myths or sacred narratives.
🗼 If true, it could point to a shared proto-historical tradition dispersed after the Tower of Babel event (Genesis 11).
