Ultra-great grandpappy/granny must have been really fond of cows :-) The current Most Annoying is what those who built Gobekli Tepi had in mind. They added lots of symbols with a likely 'religious' meaning - but forgot to include any DETAILS. Likely assumed everybody would "just know" 12,000 years later. First 'details' show up at the dawn of the Mesopotamian era - but that's "Enki", not cows or anything. Enki was fond of 'fish themes'. However it did reportedly inform about civil-structure/engineering issues. The later city-states copied. Enki seemed to be a pretty good, umm, dude.
