Similarity of Ancient Symbols

It may well be that civilization shared a common beginning and that would make sense because life had to start somewhere. Another contributor could be that life has evolved here before and that we have had the ability to travel the earth and share beliefs and ideas. There may have been a world religion before and it was destroyed, leaving only partial memories to copy. It is an interesting article; I knew there were similarities but seeing the buildings and statues so similar it is amazing.
