Great thread as always firestarter. It seems to me that pretty much all of the history, teachings, symbology boils down to showing how the sun sustains continual life on this planet and how humans constantly procreate, thus creating new "slaves"/"subjects"/"resources" (term depends on the era) that can be easily controlled with various stories that instill fear, with the end goal being total and forever control of the world by a relatively small few. After all, the average human isn't very different than any other livestock, in that it generally only knows the environment that it is surrounded by and only knows the knowledge and resources that it is given. Control that knowledge and implant constant fears of imminent demise if the orders of the rulers are not followed and the masses will obey, continue to procreate new resources and work forever. We're almost to the point where everyone is literally a slave again but even worse than ancient times because the slaves now even pay for their own maintenance through their labor, without any material input from the rulers. It's almost a fully self-sustaining slave society, requiring only a token amount of slave drivers (like Congress, Parliament, Hollywood celebrities) to keep a ginormous number of slaves working along.
Ancient Babylonian priests used to control the slaves by telling them that if they didn't do what the priests said then the priests wouldn't summon the sun the next morning and they'd all die. Of course the slaves complied and of course the sun returned, as the priests promised. So the slaves kept working so they didn't die. It's the same story over and over....the serpent eating it's tail.
