MOTHER/BREAST HILLS

Subhashis Das

 The prehistoric world for us moderns may appear dark and mysterious. Research and profound study has shown a large part of this hoary world was matriarchal/matrilineal that venerated instruments of fertility that owed allegiance to the religions of the ubiquitous Mother Goddesses.
It was during these times when breast shaped hills to the mother tribes across the world including prehistoric India were held as emblems of the Mother Goddesses’ breasts; all appendages of the now defunct fertility cult.
Scores of such hills across the world have still retained the ancient names such as Mam Tor near Derbyshire, England that simply means Mother Hill and Maithan in Jharkhand which is suggestive of Mother’s breasts.
