Are you aware of the history of the symbolism of the pomegranate ?
It's rather fascinating, starting with Jesus and the Bible, it seems to date back to about 5,000 BC

Ever read about this ?

I always wondered why pomegranate was carved on the ARK of the Covenant.

" fruit "...." sin " ( the moon god )...." bubbulu " ( flood )

Probably something with the priest's announcing of New Moon, this was rather important with the Biblical groups of the old testament, iirc

It is the goodly fruit for sukkot not the etrog/citron
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

If the more I know, the more I know I don’t know, then do I truly know what I know because I know I don’t?

You cannot reach a correct conclusion if you begin with an incorrect assumption

Re: Are you aware of the history of the symbolism of the pomegranate ?
Some scholars believe that the pomegranate was the original “ forbidden fruit ” of the Garden of Eden. The name “ pomegranate ” derives from Latin " pomum "(‘apple’) and " granatus " (‘seeded’)

The concept of an " evil fruit " is actually mentioned in one of the earliest known texts on theodicy (Why God permits evil)

The pomegranate was part of the royal badge of Henry IV, along with the motto “Agro dulce”, meaning " bittersweet "
