In prehistoric times, nutrition for people has a priority to survive against difficult natural conditions. The people who gathered in such a way that the climatic conditions allow, have turned to hunting at times when the weather has cooled down. Researchers evaluating the cave paintings that began to be seen in the Upper Paleolithic period called this a positive magic that increased the chances of hunting outside. To begin with prehistoric ages, the bull has always had a privileged place in ancient societies. In the hunter and collecting societies, the bull, which is often depicted in the cave paintings that have begun to be seen in the upper paleolithic period, is a part of positive growth that facilitates hunting outside, and when it comes to neolithic times, the bull is used as a symbol of power as well. In these societies, where the earth is associated with the female body, the bull, which has been associated with it, has also been associated with masculine elements. The bull, depicted as a symbol of power, has been used as a symbol of divinity in communities where social status has begun to emerge. To begin with Sumer, almost all Mesopotamian societies began to use the bull-horn title as a symbol of divinity. Later, the wave became a part of a widespread belief in all Anatolian civilizations and Ancient Egypt symbolizing bull sanctity and divinity.
