That's because it's design was based on a Babylonian ziggarut, a pyramid structure.
Are they two towers or two horns? The goat Mendes perhaps. Or the Masonic "horned hand" gesture. Or both. I believe the Masonic horned hand gesture derives from the Buddhist Karuna Mudra gesture which was to ward against evil.
But every silver lining has a cloud...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
