Something that caught my eye while reading was how easily the Matriarchal culture-which tended to be a peaceful society, could sacrifice "the sacred king" in such violent ways. However, as time passed the Matriarchal society eventually put an end to the slaughtering of the sacred king's and was persuaded into using animals as a replacement for the young boys and king.

I also found this very interesting. As the Matriarchal society slowly changed from slaughtering kings, to boys, to animals, it was almost as if they were slowly coming to their senses and realized that they did not need to kill people for fertility.
