The Inverted Triangle may have originated from biology before it became "sacred geometry". The female was inverted; males upright. This symbolism appeared across many ancient cultures until Christianity recast creation as male. The uterine-inspired inverted triangle became a crucifix.
The inverted triangle resembled the yoni - the whole female anatomy. From there, ancient people saw that the frontal view of the cow's head also resembled a uterus. The associations with cattle then expanded beyond anatomy to fertility, nourishment, continuity and life itself. This shape became abstracted yet remained potent. One day a different inverted triangle appeared: the curicifix. It's no coincidence that the crucifix is often surrounded by the bright red colour of life death, blood, menstration.
