The Origin of the Shape of the Heart as a Symbol of Love in the World
1. 3000 Years BC
The heart shape is believed to have existed in 3000 BC, derived from the shape of ivy leaves which were often used by the Greeks and Romans as ornaments in ceramics and vessels. Ivy vines are thought to symbolize passion. Ivy leaves are also placed on tombstones as a sign of eternal love even though death do us part.
2. 631 Years BC
The Greeks experienced drought and population explosion so that in 631 BC, they looked for a new city. They eventually founded the City of Kierene which is located at the northern tip of Africa. There they found silphium seeds which were eventually used as contraceptives. The Kinere people also made a symbol of making silphium into a coin and in the shape of a heart.
3. 384 B.C
Classical era philosophers also argued about the symbol of the heart and its meaning (384-322 BC). Aristotle, who is included in the three most influential philosophers in Western thought, believes that the heart is the center of thought and emotion. In fact, sometimes the heart is stronger than the influence of the brain as a nervous system. Thus, the heart is felt to be the center of the soul and emotions.
