Universal cult of the Tree of Life (UB 85:2.4) = Cross-cultural sacred world-tree motif: Yggdrasil, Bodhi tree, ceiba, Ashvattha, huluppu

The UB states plainly: "Except in China, there once existed a universal cult of the tree of life." The world-tree appears with astonishing consistency across cultures: Norse Yggdrasil, Hindu Ashvattha, Buddhist Bodhi tree, Sumerian huluppu, Maya ceiba, Slavic Dub, Assyrian Sacred Tree. In nearly every case, a bird inhabits the crown, a serpent the roots, and a divine or royal figure stands in the axis. The frequency of this exact three-element composition across non-contacted cultures is the strongest single cross-cultural case the decoder can make for a common seed memory, which the UB identifies as the actual Tree of Life on Dalamatia and in the first Eden.
