The bird in this image could well be being used as a symbol for the soul just as it can still be. People do not tend to reinvent the wheel, but adapt it to their needs. Stories could go back a very long time and leave no evidence.
That's quite interesting. I still think context is rather important though, hence why I would like to know what era these stories were reflecting.
