why are so many Supreme God figures associated with the sky?
Koko Tengri of Mongolia, Tian/Shangdi of China, Zeus, Indra of India...
Two ideas: Inaccessibility of Heavens.
Dependence on rain for life.
Do you agree? Have you any more ideas? This is interesting.
The sky god was seen as the source of time and the provider of life.
Ancient peoples relied on regular rainfall. A drought would destroy their crops and plunge the nation into starvation. A flood would have equally devastating effects.
The ancient calendars were all heavenly based as well. The rising of certain constellations marked times in the year for various pursuits--agricultural and otherwise. So the sky god was seen to regulate time and therefore was usually the god of fate as well.
Essentially all the workings on the earth and human wellbeing were governed by the heavens.
We are no longer an agrarian based society, so the significance of this to the ancients is not so obvious in our own modern lives.
