Lion and the Cultural?

Question

How does lion related to cultural for some of the people?

Answer 1

As a preditor at the top of the food chain, it has always represented a symbol of power cross-culturally and is often a symbol of various monarchies. Otherwise, mythic animals are used.

Answer 2

The earliest recorded depictions of lions can be found in some of the earliest paleolithic human cave art possibly dating to 32,000 years ago in the Chauvet Cave in the Ardèche region of southern France, where lionesses are depicted hunting for the pride in much the same strategy as contemporary lions. Some have proposed a more conservative estimate in line with the better known cave paintings of Lascaux, that are 15,000 years old. In the Lascaux, two lions were depicted mating in the Chamber of Felines. The ivory carving from Vogelherd cave in the Swabian Alb in southwestern Germany has been determined to be about 32,000 years old from the Aurignacian culture.
