Another point from the lectures on Greece was that the part of the animal sacrifices the gods liked was the smoke which rose up to them. Reminds me God, who perceived the smoke of Israel's sacrifices as a sweet savor.
Seems to me that we see whatever sacrificial system that existed with Noah and after finds it echos in the ancient cultures, although, of course, perverted and made idolatrous. But some of the ideas are the same, such as the smoke being pleasing to the divine.
