what do we know of ancient middle eastern cultures to back up that they praised masculine (hero) figures and was it important enough to slander a female figure like done with Asherah in the bible. As most of us know a multitude of figurines and texts of this goddess have been found which claimed she was Yahweh's consort. There are signs - through archaeological evidence - Asherah was a highly regarded goddess ...despite the biblical version of her figure!
