As far as question 8 goes...The images in the paintings are being interpreted by scholars as celestial bodies - stars, planets, constellations, the milky way, the sun and the moon. There are also images that have human-like heads with striped bodies - thought to be their shame, the religious leaders of the aantap mystic cult. Animals are also featured - forms that look like swordfish, salamanders, centipedes, and indescribable beings with strange legs and heads and undulating bodies are common.
