I didn't read through the whole thread, so IDK if this was posted already...
I've read before that the spirals supposedly show an electric phenomena described by proponents of the electric universe theory. Personally, I think the ancients drew spirals just because it's both easy and fun and there was no intended real meaning behind them other than decorative. I used to draw spirals before I even knew they were spirals, that doesn't mean however that I drew spirals because I had some deep insights.
Moral of the story: Sometimes a spiral is just a spiral.

That is true, and a good point. However, if you view it from the standpoint of Mazlow, it would seem that at the time that these ancient spirals were created, life was not really that easy. It would not be presumed that the people who drew them were prone to having the luxury of time to sit and doodle by carving into hard stone.

Yet a bunch of those pictures show spirals on rock built buildings. How would they not have the time to draw decorative spirals on the buildings they had time to build? Not all of the spirals have to be induced under drugs in order to be drawn.
