Hello, welcome. Interesting points Smile

I think it is indeed likely the story is meant to have at least some symbolism in it. It also contains overly simplistic explanations to questions they couldn't answer at the time; it's harder to know which of these are meant to be read literally.
Feel free to send me a private message.
