  • Cultural diffusion theory suggests powerful symbols migrate across civilizations, often losing and gaining new meaning with each adoption.
  • Tracing the hexagram's ancient origins challenges the assumption that religious symbols are born unique — most are inherited, adapted, and rebranded over time.
