I can't do generally, specifically in Sumero-Akkadian mythology, mountains are male..

The only thing I've learned is that they all sound like super sayajin or they sound the exact opposite of a barbie doll. No not the black barbie, but a negative barbie.

Usually religous figures usually have a halo, glow, or some fiery hairdo. Like seriously even Islam might have been greeted by Goku or threatened by vegeta which explain the i kill u attitude?


Have aliens manifested them selves into anime characters with the iconic transformation that only happen just so the artist didn't have to waste so much time on goku hair?

I believe this is similar across all cultures (the ones im familiar with). Making a mountain a phallic symbol.

I don't think it has anything to do with being Phallic, just if mountains were the homes of the gods, then the main God was always male...Zeus, Shiva, An, Atum, Pangu, etc

In Sumerian mythology the mound/mountain rises from Nammu (the sea), known as KI and representing the Earth. then An is born atop the mountain and as a partnership they represent the Universe, An-Ki
then they separate, the rest of the Gods are born and creation begins

At that time, at the place of the gods' formation, in their own home, on the Holy Mound, they created Sheep and Grain. Having gathered them in the divine banqueting chamber, the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the bounty of Sheep and Grain but were not sated; the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the sweet milk of their holy sheepfold but were not sated. For their own well-being in the holy sheepfold, they gave them to mankind as sustenance.

At that time Enki spoke to Enlil: "Father Enlil, now Sheep and Grain have been created on the Holy Mound, let us send them down from the Holy Mound." Enki and Enlil, having spoken their holy word, sent Sheep and Grain down from the Holy Mound.

Next they send down he grain
So everything comes from the mountain...
