Six onion-roof towers supporting heavens

[Bluetoes101]

I completely fail to see any possible connection between containers of herbs and the cosmos

When medicine no longer helps, then it is God's will.
That's how I see it. Medical vessels are the support before God's decision.
Even back then, people knew that it was better to do something than nothing.

There's also Alchemy (example below), and probably a host of other things like Aga shows.
There's quite a lot of things that make no sense to us, but made sense to people before us. For example here (England - And I guess many other places) we have "spirits", one refers to ghosts or souls, the other meaning refers to alcohol. It comes from distillation and people believing the soul of the thing being distilled is what was being drawn out. Literally its ghost/essence/soul and they could see it rising into the tubes. Some people might see a ghost transitioning tubes and think the drawer is crazy, or it must be something else, but with some knowledge of medieval distillation its pretty obvious what it means. 

Obviously the VMS is not this simple, but I'm not having "buildings - because they do not look like buildings" at face value sorry  
The Duck-Law police are also still rather disgruntled about this..
