I will have to take a look at that book for sure. That’s what I’m looking for. I’d be very curious to see if the horns are mentioned in any connection to what she’s talking about. Thanks for the reference!
I'm a bit wary of the credibility of some of the stuff that author says, but putting that aside, I really think you'd be hard-pressed to find any scholarly work on the connection between the horns of the altar and specifically bulls of ANE religions, simply because that connection doesn't exist.
