      Nothing but suggestions from historians: The cult of the time could have been linked to divinations concerning the destiny of individuals. The sky and the stars would organize a pre-written life for men. Ceremonies in open places allowed a population to be in contact with a sky which gave the orientation to follow in order to survive.
