To expand on the suggestions from earlier .The spirals at Bonorvo have their closest counterparts on pottery from eastern Europe and Asia and some engraved rocks ,particularly from Ireland . The pottery with the same type of running spirals can be found on ,Japanese Jomon , Chinese Machayo and present day eastern Russian  Amur , Malyshevo , pottery all date from the Neolithic and have very similar spirals to those in tomb . Nearer to Sardinia a vessel with two figures from  Vedanstra ,Romania also similar spirals .
The Hal Saflieni spirals are mainly on the ceiling and junction of ceiling and wall and having only one “turn “ are unlike typical Maltese spirals which usually have 3-4  and also unlike the motifs in the tomb which have between 3 and 6 “turns “ as do the similar spirals found on say Kerbstone 67 at Newgrange or Pierowall and Eday Manse in Orkney  which also have 3-6   . Their  closest counterparts of the Hal Safleni could be the façade of the Treasury of Atreus , Hall of Double Axes ,Knossos ,various sites and pottery from Akrotiri and the ceiling of the Tomb of Inherkau .

If I could just add an observation?
The spirals are made from one continuous line that almost diminish's to nothing at the central point where it reverses to go back out along a parallel pathway to what it came in on.

If You wanted to describe to others a phenomona that you could follow but others couldn't, then this would be an ideal teaching aid to achieve this with.
Let's suppose that a sort of apprentice was been instructed in something that only the shaman knew, and the apprentice was been taught by the elder shaman?

If such a post is deemed suitable only for the alternative section, then please move it there, in spiral fashion of course, where a ball rolling inwards to that centre point would reverse spin as it spiralled back out onto an alternative pathway.
