Ἄδωνις [Updated: 2025.06.20]

A•dōnꞋis — from Semitic: TheraꞋ 𐤀𐤃𐤍 Hebrew אָדוֹן Greek physicomorphic (anthropomorphic) idol.

According to the myth, A•dōnꞋis was killed by a pig during a hunting trip and died in the arms of weeping Aphrodite. Her tears, the myth goes, mingled with his blood and he reincarnated as the red anemone flower. Thus, in modern times A•dōnꞋis has been widely perceived as a prime example of the archetypal mortally-dying-then-mortally-resurrected gōd.

اللات‎ (Al•atꞋ, or al-ill•ahtꞋ) [Updated: 2016.05.08]

Al•lãtꞋ (al-ill•ãtꞋ

Ãl•lãhꞋ Arab Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  — There is no credible dispute among historians that Al•lãtꞋ, fem. goddess counterpart of Al•lahꞋ; was an Arabian chief goddess of Mecca, the Arab equivalent of A•shᵊr•ãhꞋ and Ash•tōrꞋët and the pre-Islamic consort of Al•lahꞋ. This implacably precludes any argument that Al•lahꞋ was not a pre-Islamic idol!!!

While Muhammad ordered her idol and temple in Taif (100km east of Mecca) demolished in a commendable general effort to eliminate idolatry among Arabs, he salvaged her temple in Mecca—removing her idol (to his credit)—into today's Kaaba!

Al•lãtꞋ equates to the Hellenist Greeks' Athena (goddess of wisdom and war; daughter of Ζεύς, Hellenist Greek Aphrodite (goddess of love and sex; also a daughter of Ζεύς), equating to Ash•tōrꞋët, as well as Hãt-HōrꞋ and Ash•tōrꞋët.

Amun (glyph)

[Updated: 2016.05.08]

Amun-Rã: man wearing 2 ostrich plumes; B.CE 15th century; relief Karnak Temple WãssꞋët

ÕmūnꞋ ("invisible god") Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  — , originally depicted as a man wearing two ostrich plumes as a headdress and carrying the ankh and Wãss scepter.

B.CE 5th century Hellenist Greek Amun-Rã syncretized into Ζεύς — inspiration for the 2nd-4th century CE Hellenist Roman syncretism into Jesus' face.

Amun was husband of Amunet (fem. of Amun, meaning "invisible goddess"; equating to WōsꞋrët, who in turn equated, via IꞋsis, to the Arabs' Al•latꞋ goddess, wife of Al•lahꞋ).

Perceived by Egyptians to be the Chief God and King of Gods, Amun required men to confess their sins before praying to him; the prototype of the Hellenist Jesus.

Egyptians later syncretized Amun with Rã to become Amun-Rã, the self-created creator god — and then evolved to the head and curved horns of a ram as Ζεύς-Amun came to be identified with Ζεύς in ancient Hellenism.

Anat — Sister-goddess of BaꞋal worshiped by BCE 7th–5th cen­tury Elephantine  Jews as the consort of a still-anthropomorphic יְהוָׂה. (photo: AFP/Mohammed Abed)

A•nãtꞋ;Anat sister-goddess of BaꞋal, probably derived from Sumerian InãnꞋnã (aka RæꞋa), worshiped from the 𒆠𒂗𒄀 (Kᵊnᵊgir) to (𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌).

A•nãtꞋ was also worshiped as the consort of a still-anthropomorphic יְהוָׂה by BCE 7^th–5^th century refugee-mercenaries from Yi•sᵊr•ã•eilꞋ, rebel secessionists unwelcome in YᵊhūdꞋãh, who had fled the 𒀸𒋩𒆠 (Neo-Assyria) deracination of BCE 722 and settled in friendly (𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌) at Elephantine. Unknowingly, some Jews today still name a daughter after this idol-goddess.

Note: Some scholars miss this and anachronistically assign after-the-fact, "Babylonian Exiles" from Yᵊrū•shã•laꞋyim, YᵊhūdꞋãh to Elephantine. This is patently untenable. While the later, BCE 6^th century (BCE 586) Bã•vᵊl•imꞋ destroyed the Beit ha-Mi•qᵊdãshꞋ, they exiled only the top political and priestly leadership of YᵊhūdꞋãh, almost exclusively those living in Yᵊrū•shã•laꞋyim—which Elephantine Jews certainly were not! The Bã•vᵊl•imꞋ—only figuratively—"cut off the head" of their conquered adversary. This left most of YᵊhūdꞋãh—and "the Jews"—practically untouched, but leaderlessly dependent on, and subservient to, Bã•vëlꞋ (see the origins and development of Zūg•ōtꞋ). The Bã•vᵊl•imꞋ did not exile "the Jews". There was no Babylonian "Exile"; only a temporary exile of those of their leadership who had resided in Yᵊrū•shã•laꞋyim!

Anubis (glyph)

[Updated: 2018.02.13]

ÃꞋnū•bis — Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  Due to the frequenting of wolves among the tombs, the wolf was believed to conduct the soul from the tomb to a set of judgment scales, where the heart was weighed on a scale against an ostrich feather.

Egyptian Judgment scene from the Book of the Dead — In the leftmost of the three scenes, the deceasad is conducted into the Hall of Judgment by an Egyptian priest wearing the wolf-headed Anubis mask. In the middle panel, ÕnūbꞋis weighs the heart of the deceased against an ostrich feather. A priest in an Ammut mask lurks under the right beam of the scale to devour anyone whose heart is heavier than the ostrich feather. A priest in an Ibis TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ mask records the results in a book of life and death. Finally, the priest who wears the falcon HōrꞋus mask escorts the innocent deceased past ÕmūtꞋ, presenting the deceased to Ö•sirꞋis, seated on his throne; accompanied by the goddess sisters IꞋsis  and NëphꞋthys .

By the Middle Kingdom (c BCE 2100-1750), the role of Anubis mutated to Ö•sirꞋis.

Hap, of the River (glyph)

[Updated: 2023.12.10] 

Hap  — Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  Hellenized (contrary to some sources) to Ἄπις mixed-gender god (fem. counterpart ᴷhãt-hōrꞋ).

Hap was regarded by ancient Egyptians as the creator of the universe; thought to "fetch water" of the annual flooding of the Nile. For ancient Egyptians, the arrival of the annual Nile inundation was the "Arrival of Hap".

cBCE 1650 𒄩𒀜𒌅𒊭 Bull-Leaper  wine-mixing urn	cBCE 1525 Bull-Leaper  fresco Knossos, Crete

There is an Egyptian statue of "Hap" (Hellenized to ÃꞋpis) but the horns and top of the statue have been cut off. Therefore, I opted to illustrate with the painting demonstrating the passage of the "soul" of a Tzūran king (in Egypt, Par•ōhꞋ) from one designated bull (since bulls die and have to be replaced), awaiting to inhabit the next designated bull—misidentified as a sport of "bull-leaping".

ÃꞋpëp

[Updated: 2025.05.20]

ÃꞋpëpApep,Apepi,Apophis,Chaos,Satan,demon,snake,viper — Nile Serpent-Dragon God Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  the encapsulation of all of the darkness, evil and chaos ("Eater of souls" and causer of natural disasters such as solar eclipse, floods, earthquakes and thunderstorms), epitomized in the Nile serpent-dragon god.

ÃꞋpëp seems unlike other ancient Egyptian gods in that some descriptions show similarities to crocodiles yët the "sacred crocodile" god was a distinctly different, nearly exact opposite of ÃꞋpëp: the ancient Egyptian god of order, power and fierceness: SōꞋbëq! In the Middle Kingdom (≈BCE 2055-1650), SōꞋbëq was frequently twinned as an ally with HōrꞋus, and later with Rã.

Since most, perhaps all, other ancient animal gods were either real animals or chimera of real animals, perhaps a peculiar phenomena, occasionally experienced but never quite fully seen, may explain the ÃꞋpëp Nile dragon differently from a docile crocodile warming on the bank or lazily swimming. Unlike any other animal that I'm aware of, a gator or croc dismembers prey by death-rolling. This greatly roils the surrounding water, giving the impression of a much larger predator, of many coils; a much longer "Nile Dragon"—in a very chaotic, enormously powerful, ferocious, gruesome and deadly scene. What actually happens, however, is mostly underwater, surrounding roiling and splashing—some occasionally observed (thus real), but never fully seen (thus highly exaggerated), "Nile Dragon-Serpent"—ÃꞋpëp!

ÃꞋpëp parallels the Semitic Sã•tãnꞋ—sharing its origin with the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

ÃꞋpëp serpent/snake pinned & dispatched from Rã's flat-bottom Solar Nile-ship by Sët using his Wãss scepter (Cairo Museum)

The ancient Egyptians' primary god was Rã, their sun god. When ancient Egyptians saw the sun proceeding through the sky, they believed it to be the radiance from Rã in his flat-bottom Solar-Nile ship  (Rã-boat), being pushed along in its orbit around a flat earth by a dung-beetle (hence, the importance of the dung-beetle scarab).

By night, they imagined the sun proceeding in the return direction underneath their flat world, through what they believed to be the netherworld of demons. (Since they believed they had to make this trip at death to an eternal tomorrow, they—as well as Vikings and others—built solar barques to be buried with them.) In this mythical netherworld, they believed that mythical Rã was attacked each night by its mythical enemy—ÃꞋpëp. If ÃꞋpëp succeeded, then, they feared, the sun would not rise the next morning—the end of the world!

As a result, ancient Egyptians could never be sure even that the sun would come up the next morning (much less the next moon, the next season, Nile Flood, etc.). Consequently, ÃꞋpëp was their Chief Demon and threat to their primary god—and Par•ōhꞋ was believed to rule by divine-power, having special influence with their gods to further the welfare of his people. After all, the sun did come up every morning, the lunar months, the seasons, the annual Nile Flood, etc. (Quintessential example of post hoc ergo propter hoc logic fallacy.) Thus, they were dependent upon Par•ōhꞋ even for the next sunrise.

Myth Of Rã, Sët, The WãssꞋët Wãss Scepter & ÃꞋpëp

According to ancient Egyptian beliefs, the sun (Rã) Journeyed Across the sky in a "Heavenly-Nile" ship, pushed by a mythical dung (scarab) beetle. Each evening, the believed, Rã, in his "Heavenly-Nile" ship, descended below the horizon into the underworld (netherworld), where ÃꞋpëp ruled! Rã depended upon, Sët, using his snake-killing Wãss scepter, to kill the ÃꞋpëp serpent (see pic).

ÃꞋpëp was so demonized by fearful Egyptians that "Every year, a ritual called the "Banishing of ÃꞋpëp" would be held by the priests of Rã. They would take an effigy of ÃꞋpëp and in the center of the temple they would pray that all the wickedness in Egypt would go into the effigy. Then they would trample the effigy, crush it, beat it with sticks, pour mud on it, and eventually burn and destroy it. In this way, they believed (faith) the power of ÃꞋpëp would be curtailed for another year." This idolatrous myth is the basis of today's annual Islamic practice of "the throwing of the jamarāt" (stoning of the Devil) during the Haj to Mecca.

AkhꞋën-AtꞋen offering liba­tions to AtꞋen. Disk's rays pre­sent ankhs or mummy-resurrection (incarnation, i.e. mouth-opening) tools — not human hands, which would be in­compatibly anthropomorphic.

ÃꞋtën — Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  the solar disk, the manifestation of Rã.

"In its early stages Atenism is best described as a henotheistic religion (a religion devoted to a single god while accepting the existence of other gods) but it developed into a proto-monotheistic system. The full extent of his religious reforms were not apparent until the ninth year of his reign. As well as proclaiming the AtꞋen the only god, he banned the use of idols with the exception of a rayed solar disc. He also made it clear that the image of the AtꞋen only represented the god, but that the god transcended creation and so could not be fully understood or represented. This aspect of his faith bears a notable resemblance to the religion of Moses, prompting Freud to suggest [anachronistically, since this was 1¾ centuries after Mosh•ëhꞋMosh•ëhꞋ!] that Akhen-AtꞋen was the first Monotheist. … The AtꞋen was worshiped in the open sunlight, rather than in dark temple enclosures, as the old gods had been."

"But indeed, Akhen-AtꞋen's new creed could be summed up by the formula, 'There is no god but AtꞋen, and Akhen-AtꞋen is his prophet'."

The Serapeum (temple of Serapis Serapis) of ꜣbḏw U23, D58 b, N26,O49 [https://ancientegypt.fandom.com/wiki/Abydos] (later Saqqara) was the ancient Egyptian burial place for sacred bulls of the Hap cult at Ankh-Tawy.

Deus physicomorphic (anthropomorphic) idol [Updated: 2025.06.20]

While Latin deus can be translated as and bears superficial similarity to Greek θεός theós, meaning 'god', these are false cognates. (Yet, Latin Deus consistently translates Greek Θεός Theós in both the Vetus Latina and Jerome's Vulgate. In the Septuagint, Greek Theós in turn renders Hebrew Elohim (אֱלוֹהִים, אלהים), as in Genesis 1:1: ) A true cognate of Deus is Ancient Greek Ζεύς, king of the Olympian gods in Greek mythology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus So, Deus ≡ Ζεύς which the Xn "Bible" migrates to "Gad/God"

גָּד physicomorphic (anthropomorphic) idol[Updated: 2025.05.30]

Gãd ≡Eil; Eil ≡God—A priori, Gãd ≡God! 

This is not a mere pedanticism. Gãd, Eil in Hebrew, is often paired with the main God⁠/​Gãd⁠/​Eil⁠/​אֵל in many ancient regions. Yet, we find Gãd is (also) a distinct, "supreme" god. Thus, in Aram, for example, the regional "supreme" gãd was the ram-Gãd; but Gãd was paired with the "supreme" (huh?) god A•shūrꞋ, also spelled, inter alia, ÃꞋshær. Gãd was no mere attribute of A•shūrꞋ. "Thunder & Lightning"! Not the same as "Fortune"! Two distinct entities, paired.

This pair— Gãd & ÃꞋshūrÃꞋshær)—were supreme gods-pair in Haran, Paddan Aram—Lavan's 2 gods!

Gãd, son (and Tribe) of Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ and the idolatress handmaid, בִּלְהָה‎, of his favored wife, Rã•khælꞋ .

Gãd, pronounced God; Ram-headed after the Assyrian Ram—sky, lightning & ram-like thunder crashes—God of fate & destiny; corresponds to Eil, the Assyrian name for the Chief God. Take a close look at the face! Grecian features, not even Semitic much less a Jew! Yet, it is the still-migrating, eventual face of the Hellenized pantheonic perception of Jesus; from Gãd≡God ÕmūnꞋ-RãꞋ, Gãd≡God Serapis, Gãd≡God Ζεύς/ θεός, Gãd≡God Jupiter—and Gãd≡God Ἰησοῦς!

The first usage of "God", to represent Greek θεός = Latin Deos or Deus≡θεός or Ζεύς (as both both Greek words equate to later Latin Jupiter, ergo each other. Apriori, Ζεύς≡θεός≡Ζεύς≡Assyrian "Gãd/God & Greco-Roman Jupiter"!!!)

The first usage of English god in (Christian [Καινής Διαθήκης] translations, was in the Gothic translation of the [Καινής Διαθήκης] by Ulfilas. The earliest extant fragments of this "Wulfila Bible" consist of codices and one lead tablet—from the 5ᵗʰ century and not completed until the 8ᵗʰ century CE! That is so-o-o late! (How late is it?) It's so late that it's irrelevant by ≈½ a millennium! (The earliest extant codices are 4ᵗʰ century CE Greek—Sinaiticus & Vaticanus—containing the complete Καινής Διαθήκης, itself based on ooa plethora of papyri fragments.

Though both Jews and Roman Catholics have tried to bury a Ram-headed "God", the supposed distinction is nonexistent. It is an artificial distinction of the one original idea-word, as it migrated into different cultures & languages. Gãd is God; both ancient idols.

What, for different reasons, both were desperately trying to avoid was the elephant in the room: while Yo•seiphꞋ Bën-Ya•a•qōvꞋ and MiꞋrᵊyãm Bat-Æl•iꞋ  were Tōr•ãhꞋ-abiding Yᵊhūd•imꞋ and parents of the Tōr•ãhꞋ-abiding mortal Riy״by, lᵊ-ha•vᵊdilꞋ, "Mary, the supernaturally-impregnated Consort & Mother of (lost the Ram-horns) Gãd!

God גד,Gad,God(≡ Gãd, god and gãd), see also god; sky & lightning god of fate & destiny. Its associated sacred animal is the eagle (often holding a thunderbolt in its talons [now where have I seen that? 🤔]), its sacred tree is the oak; evolved from the ram-headed Egyptian Amun-Ra, later evolved into Hellenist Ζεύς (to Roman Jupiter [From Old Latin deiuos‎, from Proto-Italic *deiwos‎, from Proto-Indo-European *deywós‎. An o-stem derivative from *dyew- ("sky, heaven"), from which also diēs and Iuppiter. https://www.wordsense.eu/deus/#Latin]); also name of Ya•a•qovꞋ's 7^th son (mother: Zi•lᵊp•ãhꞋ, LeiꞋãh's maid).

Hellenized to Γάδ, (Roman) Latinized to Gad (pronounced in Latin as the English "God")—while the Latin term for Γάδ was Deus. Anglicization then baselessly to both: Gad & God; same word prior to Anglicization. Gãd, son (and Tribe) of Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ & זִלְפָּה‎; whose 2 sons she named after the 2 tᵊrãph•imꞋ—Gãd & A•shūrꞋ—that she had stolen from her idolatrous father qqq(Lavan) and secreted on her person.

The kᵊtiv of bᵊ-Reish•itꞋ 30.11, בגד, means "by God!," similar to the form לַגַּד (la•gadꞋ; for God) in Yᵊsha•yãhꞋu 65.11 (in contrast to the qᵊræ of bᵊ-Reish•itꞋ 30.11, בּׂא גָד (bō gãd; [sky-]god comes!).

The form גַּדִּי (Gad•iꞋ; "My God") is found in bᵊ-Mi•dᵊbarꞋ 13.10-11.

The cognate גְּדִי (gᵊdi; goat-kid) perhaps led to the association, with the adoption of some features (e.g., the ram's horns) of the Egyptian idol, ÃꞋmūn-Rã = Ammon, as in Ammonites = Amman, origin of the name of the capital of Jordan.

As the deity of the sky & lightning, גָּד ≡ I•yōvꞋ ≡ Jove ≡  (Anglicized to "Job") was regarded as the chief god. Later, גָּד evolved (Hellenized by the Greeks) to Ζεύς and Roman (Latinized directly from Jove to) Jupiter.

However, none are יְהוָׂה (Existant)! Read the Shᵊm•aꞋ more closely.

For heirs of Avᵊrã•hãmꞋ, Yi•tzᵊkhãqꞋ and Yi•sᵊr•ã•eilꞋ, יְהוָׂה, alone, has always been our Only "ël•ōh•imꞋ" (see the Shᵊm•aꞋ).

Hōr-em-akht (later Hellenized to "sphinx") guarding the pyramid — evidence of Yᵊtzi•ãhꞋ: original face of Khãt-shepꞋset defaced, erased from Egyptian history

Hōr-em-akht  — Hellenized, millennia later, and misleadingly called the Great “Sphinx” (a Greek cognate of “sphincter” meaning “strangler”) by Hellenists—not Egyptians—who believed a "strangler god" guarded the gate to the afterlife.

Hōr-em-akht with face of Queen-Par•ohꞋ Khãt-shepꞋset (Metropolitan Museum)

Beyond a few cosmetic similarities to Greek statues of millennia later, the Greek-derived term sphinx (= strang­ler) has nothing to do with the much earlier ancient Egyptian statues. Hōr-em-akht originally represented HōrꞋus, god of the dawn, with the head of a ram (the guardian against the demons of the netherworld) on the body of a lion (the guardian of Rã).

Earlier Hōr-em-akht with head of ram and body of lion

Two sculptures of Hōr-em-akht, back-to-back, guarding the comings and goings of Rã, symbolized, for Egyptians, the rule of the universe.

The Egyptian Hōr-em-akht statues bear a far closer resemblance to the kᵊruv•imꞋ (corrupted to “cherubim”) and sᵊrãph•imꞋ described by Yᵊkhë•zᵊq•eilꞋ (1 & 10) and Yᵊsha•yãhꞋu (6).

Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism — Horus  ("falcon"), originally brother of Ö•sirꞋis, over time evolved to the son of IꞋsis and Ö•sirꞋis—"the Son of God"!

Horus was the sky god of warriors, hunters and kings, depicted as a man with the head of a falcon wearing a combination of the red (Lower = north Egypt) and white (Upper = south Egypt) crowns; variously the son / husband of Hãt-HōrꞋ (often equated with IꞋsis).

12 year old Princess, and future Queen-Par•ohꞋ, Khãt-shepꞋset, identifying herself with IꞋsis (incarnate), interpreted her discovering the infant Mosh•ëhꞋMosh•ëhꞋ floating among the reeds of the Nile as prophetic: that she had found Horus, born, via herself (as IꞋsis-moses) and the recovered body parts of Ö•sirꞋis that had been scattered in the Nile. It is likely that the true mother of the Hebrew infant, Yō•khëvꞋëd, counted on the princess' belief in Egyptian idolatry to save him.

Christian Ἰχθύς (fish) symbol

ikh•thūs (Greek); fish; symbol adopted from Pᵊli•shᵊt•inꞋ, Aegean “Sea-People” colonists, who, having lost their capital Aegean island of Thæra in the Thæran Eruption—inexorably led to corresponding loss of faith in their Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan gods; consequently adopting the sea god of their new land—the merman fish-god theology that dated back to fish-centric NinꞋᵊweih theology similar at its core to their own sea-god theology.

A priest of Dãg•ōnꞋ wearing the Dãg•ōnꞋ robe & hat—the latter which became the headgear of Roman-Catholic bishops!

This fish-god theology eventually evolved into the merman-god Triton (son of sea-god Poseidon), which thenceforth mutated into the Dãg•ōnꞋ fish-god theology of the Pᵊli•shᵊt•inꞋ, Aegean “Sea-People” colonists who took refuge in the coastal regions of the Eastern Medierranean, the Egyptian Delta and the Levant, in the wake of the destruction of their island capital by the Thæra eruption.

The original (i.e. followers of the Excised-Apostate Hellenist Paul, gentile Hellenist Turkish) Christians syncretized this fish-god tradition into the originally preferred of the two earliest Christian symbols—origin of the Roman Catholic Bishop's miter and form of the chess piece; the other, later, symbol being the cross. These Greek-speaking gentile Roman Hellenist original Christians also developed an acronym for this symbol, in Greek (not in Hebrew, which gentile Roman Hellenists didn’t understand), for “Iesous Khristos, Theou Uios, Soteir” (JC, god’s Son, Savior).

Monarchs (kings, Par•ōtꞋ, Shãhs, etc.), by virtue of their power (rule, reign & throne), were believed to be (have become) king-gods. At death they were believed to join the stars in the night sky, ruling over assigned aspects of nature. "Sons of the gods" were (as the Christian "son of god"), therefore, believed to become king-gods by right of Divine Succession.

الله‎ Arab Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  — Even after filtering out overwhelming flotsam of ill-informed anti-Islamist ranters, no one questions that the name Allãh clearly pre-dates Muhammad and Islam.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Muslims sole, linchpin apology for Allãh is: "Etymologically, the name Allãh is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-Il•ãhꞋ, 'the God.' The name’s origin can be traced back to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for 'god' was il or el, the latter being used in the Hebrew Bible…" [Technical note: in obedience to Shᵊm•ōtꞋ 23.13; Dᵊvãr•im´ 12.3; and Yᵊho•shuꞋa 23.7, idol names are deliberately distorted in Hebrew. "Eil" is a distorted form to avoid uttering the forbidden idol name (il).]

Corpse flower (Amor­phophallus titanum)

il — truncated to אֵל or distorted to אֱלְֹהַּ (to displace both il and its consort goddess, il•ãhꞋ), to avoid uttering the name of the Kᵊna•an•imꞋ creator god; found at MᵊgidꞋō, or its consort goddess.

Calling a corpse flower an orchid doesn't make it an orchid; nor any less a corpse flower. Judged the most disgusting smelling flower in the world, a corpse flower, by any other name, would smell as foul.

Without the Hebrew Ta•n״kh´, Islam has no documented connection to Avᵊrã•hãm at all, nor any other basis whatsoever.

Yet, deriving Allãh from Hebrew and the Judaic Ta•n״kh´ is a double-edged sword. First, it acknowledges that the origin and Authority is Hebrew and Ta•n״kh´, not Arabic nor the Quran. Therefore, contradicting Ta•n״kh´ demonstrates prima facie idolatry.

Second, the Hebrew Ta•n״kh´ documents that Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ was repeatedly punished for dabbling in idolatry. Thus, Hebrew deific names used in Ta•n״kh´ cannot be simple-mindedly regurgitated carte blanche just because they are Hebrew or in Ta•n״kh´. Extrication from idolatry and idolatrous names demands nanoscopic scrutiny. Each form must be carefully understood.

il, voice of equates to Hebrew אֶלָה and Arabic Al•lahꞋ.

The Hebrew Ta•n״kh´ and Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ obliterated and entirely removed the forbidden idol-god name (perhaps something like אֳלֹה) from our lexicon, displacing it with the abbreviated אֵל. While rabbis today use the terms אֵל and אֱלֹהִים interchangeably as substitutes for יְהוָׂה, technically, they are not. As used in Ta•n״kh´, these words imply, respectively: (singular) "the forbidden-name idol regarded by the goy•imꞋ as god" and (plural) "the forbidden-name idol regarded by the goy•imꞋ as the gods." In place of all [regarded as] ël•ōh•imꞋ (including אֳלֹה / Allãh) [by the goy•imꞋ], the Shᵊm•aꞋ in our Hebrew Ta•n״kh´ teaches Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ that the only Prime Cause Singularity, encompassing all of the ël•ōh•imꞋ conceived by the goy•imꞋ, is יְהוָׂה.

By contrast, Muhammad, contradicting Ta•n״kh´, failed to completely eliminate idolatry from his Apostate Hellenist Paul-style, Displacement Theology of Islam, retaining the complete Arabic form of the forbidden idol-god: Allãh. The Hebrew Ta•n״kh´, specifically the Shᵊm•aꞋ, declares that יְהוָׂה, Alone as the Sole Singularity, has, for Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´, displaced all of the idolatrous ël•ōh•imꞋ conceived by the goy•imꞋ lumped together—including אֳלֹה ‎ / _الله (Al•lãhꞋ)!

Since there is no credible dispute among historians that pre-Islamic Al•lãhꞋ had a pre-Islamic consort—Al•lãtꞋ, the consort puts the lie to any and all denials that Al•lãhꞋ was a pre-Islamic idol!!!

• ≈11,000 Ya  ᵏh•ūrꞋri — Shã•ūshꞋkã goddess of Spring Festivals

  Unless you've studied this website, you've very likely never been exposed to the discoveries that demonstrate that, 10,500 years (millennia) before Classic Greece), the Anatolian ᵏh•ūrꞋri, predecessors to their geographical neighbor and cousins, the ᵏHa•tᵊtū´sha were demonstrating advanced architectural technology unmatched for millennia, building great temples.

  Shã•ūshꞋkã (photo: Charles Texier)

  They were engraving stone of this quality, and building temples that have stunned scientists (and pretty much shut up European and western arts-degreed adventurist "experts" ignorant of the Middle East/Asia)—like that of the ᵏHa•tᵊtū´shan Temple-Municipal building at Göbekli Tepe! European western adventurists ("archaeologists"), by arrogant choice, are still ignorant of the Middle East! Unable to believe a people could be that ancient led them to make up a name for them rather than believe ancient sources; hence, during the Industrial Revolution of the 20ᵗʰ century, 1942 CE, the WWII generation: Presto! Minoans were invented—by an arts-degreed adventurist!

  The little-known Semitic  Anatolian  ᵏh•ūrꞋri stretched from central Anatolia to Ninevah, Anatolia worshiped a goddess of the spring revival of both plant and animal life—particularly hares & bunny rabbits due to their prolific fecundity—Shã•ūshꞋkã, whose male consort (likely her idol-brother, Tᵊshūb ), and full pantheon, are unknown to date.

  Shã•ūshꞋkã was worshiped from ≈BCE 9—5 millennia, the dawn of human writing/history; the earliest goddess attested to date: 5000 years before the Sūmerians; 8,500 years before "Classical Greece, 11,000 Ya (years ago)—and the ultimate, direct-line origin of the Kᵊna•an•imꞋ goddess Ashtart (details below).

  Judging from the dress of this idol, the original spring festivals of Shã•ūshꞋkã, at some later time, degenerated as the idol morphed through ensuing civilizations and cultures into unbridled public, hedonist carnal desire and erotic "lovin' & warrin'" that resulted in ancient Rome's Bacchanalia… and down to the present day as Christian-origin spring festivals of Mardi Gras, Carnival, Ishtar (Easter)—complete with the bunny symbol of sexual fertility & carnal pleasures and egg symbol of reproduction & fruitfulness.

  Because spring was also the ideal season to invade the neighbors because of generally good weather, foraging & hunting—and (millennia before night vision goggles) spring culminated in the annual day in summer that "the sun stands still" "sol-stice" (Yep, exactly as noted by Yᵊhō•shūꞋa Bin-Nūn—except in Hebrew rather than Latin or Greek, of course; relying on KJ/V is so-o-o retarded)!

  The Roman pantheon split the earlier spring festivals into 3 Roman festivals; reapportioning the spring themes between:

  1. Bacchus-Dionysus — Spring Bacchanalian Festival Themes: Although the purpose was presentation of plays, festivities began with the opening procession focused on carrying the idol of Dionysus into the city the parade included many escorts carrying giant penises along the procession route in honor to Dionysus (inherited from the Egyptian Ō•sirꞋis-HōrꞋus Myth). Wine, liberality, getting drunk to remove inhibitions, revelry, sexual debauchery, orgies & ecstasy celebrated fertility and carnal lechery and revelry. The idol's Bacchanalia Spring Festivals were renowned for their wild celebrations, including feasting, drinking, breaking of societal inhibitions and ecstatic worship orgies—direct-line inspiration for Christian-era Roman Catholic Mardi Gras & Carnaval.

  2. Flora — Floralia: Spring Renewal & Fertility Festival, Though Christian historians are loathe to mention them (because of the Easter connection to Ishtar / Astarte), hares, rabbits & eggs have always been associated with spring renewal. Themes: release of fertility symbols bunny rabits (hares) & goats; bearing sheaves of wheat to the temple; licentious, nude dancing including prostitutes, gladiator contests, theatrical performances, circus events; flowers and fertility

  flowers, vegetation, and fertility.

  3. Venus — Veneralia: Spring Festival Themes: spring fertility, carnal love, lust & beauty.

With Mardi Gras, Carnaval, Easter Bunny & Eggs!

Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism Akkadian (masc.) IshᵊtarꞋ ; feminized to the goddess-idol of war, followed by renewal of life in spring—celebrated in lusty spring festivals of the carnal pleasures leading to new life (origin of Roman Bacchanalia). Athtart, later deliberately corrupted to Ash•tōrꞋët) is frequently condemned in the Bible.

Athtart was the primary inspiration molding the parallel lunar (i.e., moon, sex & fertility) goddesses of Arabia (Al•latꞋ, also known as al-ill•ahtꞋ, fem. of Al•lahꞋ). Hellenist Greece (Aphrodite) and Hellenist Rome (Venus)—making it also the origin, hatched by the latter (namely, Rome), of the Hellenist Christian Mardi Gras (French "Fat Tuesday" preceding Lent), South American Carnaval… and Easter—with Easter eggs derived from the birds' claws and wings of IshᵊtarꞋ (see pic—an egg-laying bird-woman)!

Due to their spectacular fecundity, hares (rabbits, bunnies) have always been associated with spring renewal of life. Hence, the (egg-laying) bird-featured IshᵊtarꞋ: the bunny (in the Playboy, sexual sense) with eggs! Christians deny it but facts remain in evidence: decoration of eggs dates back in Egypt and Sumeria 5,000 years (and almost certainly in Anatolia 5 millennia earlier and eons before writing and written history)!!! Priests, sorcerers, clergy—witch doctors all—merely copy traditions and adapt.

What does this have to do with Riy״by? Nothing whatsoever!!! It's blatant idolatry, the antithesis of Tōr•ãhꞋ & Riy״by!

Sadly, the בֵּיצָה on the PësꞋakh SeiꞋdër plate doesn't date back beyond the Gãl•utꞋ of 135 CE and resulting assimilation—adopting the "Easter egg" by giving it a "Jewish" theme—like an "Xmas bush"!

In Egyptian idolatry, Athtart was equated to a daughter of Rã and IꞋsis, later Hellenized to Greek Astarte-Ashtoret idolatry that is so frequently reviled by the Bible — converged with Aphrodite (Budin, Stephanie L. (2004). "A Reconsideration of the Aphrodite-Ashtart Syncretism". Numen 51 (2): 95–145.), — becoming a Sã•tãnꞋ prototype.

Ash•tōrꞋët / Hãt-HōrꞋ / IꞋsis is the original prototype of "Mary Mother of God" (Loverance, Rowena (2007). Christian Art. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. p. 117. ISBN 978-0-674-02479-3; inter alia).

Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism — IꞋsis  ("throne") was depicted by Egyptians as a woman wearing a falcon or throne head-dress and eventually equated with Hãt-HōrꞋ.

In keeping with the Egyptian tradition of Pharaohs keeping their "royal blood" in the family (incestuously), Mother IꞋsis married her brother-god, Ö•sirꞋis.

Mother IꞋsis conceived by Father Ö•sirꞋis god, giving birth to "the Son of God," HōrꞋus, who was resurrected by Mother IꞋsis after being murdered by Sët (which later symbolized Rome, prefiguring Hellenist Roman Christianity).

Supposed IꞋsis-incarnate Egyptian Princess

The 12 year old princess of Shᵊm•ōtꞋ 2, identifying herself with IꞋsis (incarnate), interpreted her discovering the infant Mosh•ëhꞋ floating among the reeds of the Nile as prophetic: that she had found Horus, born, via herself (as IꞋsis-moses) and the recovered body parts of Ö•sirꞋis that had been scattered in the Nile. It is likely that the true mother of the Hebrew infant, Yō•khëvꞋëd, counted on the princess' belief in Egyptian idolatry to save him.

[updated: 2024.02.26] 

BCE 8th century — Ma•rᵊdūkhꞋ; Neo-Assyrian cylinder seal impression. Creation-flood myth cele­brating Babylonian New Year festival Akitu in "Nisan"

𒀭𒀫𒌓 (Ma•rᵊdukhꞋ)Marduk,Bel aka 𒀭𒁁𒂖 (Bæl, conventionally "Bel", (paralleled Semitic-Hebrew BaꞋal); Hebrew מַרְדוּךְ (Ma•rᵊdukhꞋ); also aka Enlil )— "solar bull calf"—paralleling the Kit•imꞋ bull; later, after the LBAC , the Greek Ταῦρος. The Babylonian/Akkadian "Creator and Lord of the Gods of Heaven and Earth", whose "star" was Jupiter (lᵊ-ha•vᵊdilꞋ in Hebrew, TzëdꞋëq, planet of the Mã•shiꞋakh).

The practice of the 7^th-10^th century CE Masoretes, who first codified modern Hebrew vowels, likely reflects early tradition to deliberately garble the names of foreign idols so as avert inadvertant contravention of Tōr•ãhꞋ forbidding vocalization of idol names (the original intent of Tōr•ãhꞋ being to forbid "calling on" them as foreign ël•ōh•imꞋ). Thus, we find Ma•rᵊdūkhꞋ garbled in Yi•rᵊmᵊyãhꞋū 50.2 & 52.31 as Mᵊrō•dãkhꞋ.

Ma•rᵊdūkhꞋ is also the base of the name "Mordecai" of PūrꞋim—which similarly lionizes Ës•teirꞋ (origin of Easter)! These are confirmation of the extent of BCE 6^th century Babylonian assimilation.

The conjunction of the planets Jupiter & Saturn, presumably linked in some way to the constellation 𒀭𒀫𒌓 (Taurus), was predicted by Dãn•iy•ælꞋ in his "70 Weeks" during his time exiled in the Akh•sa•kh•ëmꞋ  Persian Empire, when Shãh Kū•ū•rū•shã issued the edict to rebuild Yᵊrū•shã•laꞋyim—which is how the Persian Magi knew where and when to look for the Mã•shiꞋakh of the Yᵊhūd•imꞋ.

Min (hieroglyph)

[Updated: 2021.06.15]

Min was an Egyptian god of fertility and sexuality. Wall reliefs depict Min as a dark-skinned human, standing with its feet close together while holding a flail in its upraised right hand above its head and holding its erect penis in its left hand. Its headpiece is usually the two plumes of Amun , and it has two streamers hanging down the back its neck. In the pictured wall relief, it stands in front of a garden of long-leaved, Lactuca sativa, var. longifolia (Romaine) lettuce, a variety also grown in Israel in ancient times.

Min — Egyptian god of sex & fertility, standing in front of a garden of Lactuca sativa, var. longifolia (Romaine) lettuce. (photo: wall relief, Karnak Temple, WãssꞋët (Thebes, Luxor); Carole Reeves)

“For nearly 3,000 years lettuce was associated with the Egyptian god of fertility, Min, for its resemblance to the phallus

“Lettuce has been harvested for millenia—it was depicted by ancient Egyptians on the walls of tombs dating back to at least [BCE 2,700]. The earliest version of the greens resembled two modern lettuces: romaine, from the French word “romaine” (from Rome), [derived from the Aramaic/Hebrew חַסָּא, mistakenly] believed to have been found on the island of Kos, located along the coast of modern day Turkey.”

“[Min] was associated with the Egyptian long-leaf lettuce… which was considered to be an aphrodisiac, as it is shaped like a phallus and secretes a milky substance which was likened to semen.” Min was often shown standing before offering tables piled with heads of lettuce.

Lettuce: Lactuca sativa longifolia

“But in Ancient Egypt around [BCE 2,000], lettuce was not a popular appetizer, it was an aphrodisiac, a phallic symbol that represented the celebrated food of the Egyptian god of fertility, Min. (It is unclear whether the lettuce’s development in Egypt predates its appearance on the island of Kos.) The god, often pictured with an erect penis in wall paintings and reliefs was also known as the “great of love” as he is called in a text from Edfu Temple. The plant was believed to help the god “perform the sexual act untiringly.”

“Salima Ikram, Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo who specializes in Ancient Egyptian food explains Min’s part in lettuce history…

“One of the reasons why [Egyptians] associated the lettuce with Min was because it grows straight and tall—an obvious phallic symbol,” Ikram says. “But if you broke off a leaf it oozed a sort of white-ish, milky substance—basically it looked like semen.”

Interestingly, Hebrew מִין seems to be borrowed from the Egyptian god name!

NëkhꞋbët

NëkhꞋbët (mother) — vulture goddess of motherhood & childbirth, associated with the color white; counterpert of WãdꞋjet.

Eye of HōrꞋus guarded by "the two goddesses (and crowns) of (Upper & Lower) Egypt": WãdʸꞋet wearing the dëshꞋrët crown of Lower Egypt with the uraeus (rearing spitting cobra) on the right, NëkhꞋbët wearing the hëdꞋʸët  Ö•sirꞋis (when flanked by ostrich feathers) crown of Upper Egypt on the left.

NëkhꞋbët became identified as the ultimate mother: i.e. Hãt-HōrꞋ— of later "Golden Calf" infamy.

Thus, this egg-laying white vulture mother-goddess morphed to twin the theme of an egg-laying white vulture-mother with the theme of mammal mother/(re)birth Hãt-HōrꞋ—likely the ultimate origin of the "Easter Egg". (The "Easter Bunny" wasn't dreamed up until 17^th century CE German Lutherans.)

Osiris (glyph)

[Updated: 2016.05.08]

Ō•sirꞋis (green-skinned man) wall painting, tomb Pashedu, Deir el-Medina, Thebes (Luxor)

Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism— Ō•sirꞋis  symbolized resurrection; depicted as a green-skinned man (the color of resurrected crop greenery following the annual flooding of the Nile) or black (color of the fertile Delta soil), a beard symbolizing eternity (the "pharaoh's beard") and partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, epitomizing the transition from death to eternal afterlife.

Ō•sirꞋis is also the origin epitomizing divine right to rule (still claimed today by every king and queen), holding the crook and flail; and rule over combined Upper (southern) and Lower (northern and Delta) Egypt, often wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers (symbolizing Upper & Lower Egypt) at either side.

Ō•sirꞋis was the Father-God (by IꞋsis, the Mother-goddess) of HōrꞋus: the "Son of God"! This is the ultimate origin later syncretized by Hellenist Roman idolaters of the 2^nd-4^th centuries CE into the concept of the Father-God, "Mother of God" and "the Son of God."

Like Rã (the sun) was thought to spend each night in the underworld and resurrect each morning, his son, Ō•sirꞋis, was regarded as a merciful god of the dead, God over transition from death to resurrection and afterlife. In the 2^nd-4^th centuries CE, Hellenist Roman idolaters syncretized this Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth into a divine Jesus' supposed power over sin, death and resurrection.

≈BCE 2686: The Evolving Ō•sirꞋis, IꞋsis & HōrꞋus Myth

The myth mostly evolved ≈BCE 2686-2181, with Ō•sirꞋis, the gōd of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in ancient Egyptian religion ruling Egypt, having inherited the kingship from his divine ancestors in a lineage stretching back to the creator of the world: Rã or ÕtūmꞋ.

Ō•sirꞋis was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive ãꞋtëph crown and holding a symbolic crook and flail. He was one of the first to be associated with the mummy wrap.

His queen was IꞋsis, who was one of the main characters of the Ō•sirꞋis myth, in which she resurrects her murdered brother-husband, the divine king Ō•sirꞋis, and she produces and protects his heir, HōrꞋus.

IꞋsis, who, along with Ō•sirꞋis, and his brother, Sët, is one of the children of the earth gōd Gëb and the sky goddess Nūt. … Ō•sirꞋis is connected with life-giving power, righteous kingship, and the rule of maꞋat, the ideal natural order whose maintenance was a fundamental goal in ancient Egyptian culture.

Sët murders his brother Ō•sirꞋis. Ring a bell? (Like QaꞋyin & HëvꞋël?) The myth illustrates the ever-present struggle to retain, or displace, power. Sët is closely associated with the violent taking of power. (It is ÃꞋpëp, however, most associated with chaos, evil and death.) Accordingly, the mythical fratricide of Ō•sirꞋis symbolizes the never-ending struggle between those in (claimed "Divine Right") power and those determined to forcibly displace them.

By the end of the New Kingdom, a tradition had developed that Sët had cut Ō•sirꞋis's body into pieces—except his penis, which he threw into the Nile where it was eaten and destroyed by a catfish—and scattered them, a part in each of the 42 nomes, thus encompassing, and embodying, greater Egypt. …

After Ō•sirꞋis' brother, Sët, had cut Ō•sirꞋis into pieces after killing him, his sister-wife, IꞋsis, with her sister NëphꞋthys, searched Egypt to find each part of Ō•sirꞋis. She collected all but one body part—Ō•sirꞋis’ penis. She then pieced him back together and wrapped his body up like a mummy; returning him to life. (Note: different ancient versions of this myth varied, ascribing different gods to different roles.)

Contrary to much later Greek recounts of this myth, in some early Egyptian versions it is the goddesses who find, restore and mummify Ō•sirꞋis' body (origin of mummification) including, magically, his restored penis—which had been cast into the Nile and eaten by a catfish.  In most early Egyptian versions, however, it seems to be IꞋsis who does all of this.

In some Egyptian accounts of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis & HōrꞋus) Myth, IꞋsis impregnates herself on the magically-restored penis of resurrected Ō•sirꞋis, and the pregnant IꞋsis hides from Sët, to whom the unborn child is a threat.

& Sët (who turns out to be homosexual) contend for the throne. IꞋsis intervenes on behalf of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth but accidentally harpoons him. Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth struck out blindly at his perceived attacker, accidentally beheading his mother, IꞋsis.

IꞋsis resurrects HōrꞋus, the "Son of Gōd", who then battles Sët to rule over Egypt. IꞋsis attempts to help HōrꞋus, missing & hitting HōrꞋus, who reflexively strikes out at his perceived attacker, beheading his mother. Tūt replaces the head of IꞋsis with the head of a cow: Hãt-HōrꞋ. (In another tradition, Hãt-HōrꞋ is regarded as his mother and sometimes as his wife.)

Tut then replaces IꞋsis' head with that of a cow, and IꞋsis is merged with Khat-khor. Sët injures one of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth' eyes and the most famous ancient Egyptian symbol, the, Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth-eye (WadyꞋt wiki/Horus). Versions of the myth developed several disparate conclusions. ----------------------- wiki/Isis wiki/Osiris HōrꞋus The earliest recorded form of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth is the tutelary deity of Nekhen in Upper Egypt, who is the first known national gōd, specifically related to the ruling pharaoh who in time came to be regarded as a manifestation of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth in life and in ancient mummification and post-death hypotheses.

The most commonly encountered mythical family relationship describes Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) as the son of IꞋsis and Ō•sirꞋis, and he plays a key role in the Ō•sirꞋis myth as the mythical Egyptian God, the Son of God—sound familiar? The names were changed when the Greeks eclipsed Egypt; names changed again when Romans supplanted the Greeks; names changed again when the Apostate Hellenist Paul recast the myth in "Jewish" terms.

The Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) myth, famliar to all Yi•sᵊr•ã•æl´ sojourning in Mi•tzᵊr•ayꞋim, including xYokhabedL3 was told by his mother, IꞋsis, to protect the people of Egypt from Sët, the gōd of the desert, who had killed Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth' father, Ō•sirꞋis. Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth had many battles with Sët, not only to avenge his father but to choose the rightful ruler of Egypt. In these battles, Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth came to be associated with Lower Egypt and became its patron. … The Eye of Ō•sirꞋis (& IꞋsis-HōrꞋus) Myth … Wedjat (Wadyet)

Rã, the sun-god over an Egyptian priest wearing an Ö•sirꞋis mask, holding the ankh and Wãss scepter.

Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism — Rã,  the self-created creator and sun-god, believed to cruise the sky during the day in its Solar Boat and through the netherworld during the night, culminating in a confrontation with the evil ÃꞋpëp serpent god that had to be defeated every night.

Every night, Rã delegated the battle with the evil ÃꞋpëp serpent to the violent-disorder-foreigner god Sët, depending upon Sët's victory for Rã to be "born-again" every morning. (This is the original derivation, syncretized by the Hellenist Roman idolaters of the 2^nd-4^th century CE, into Jesus' victory over death enabling Christians to be "born-again.")

RëꞋa—Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan “Goddess Of The Heavens” (c BCE

RëꞋaRëꞋa (also Rhea);Rhea,Rea The (Hellenic Mycenean) Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan-Pūlossian’s “Queen of the Heavens”; Chief Deity of the Aegean-Mediterranean “Sea People” Thalassocracy; believed to be the Mother-Goddess of the world—thus conflating, via both maritime and land trade merchants, with Egyptian IꞋsis, moon-goddess Hãt-HōrꞋ, Sumerian Inanna/, Mesopotamian-Assyrian Ish•tarꞋ/Astarte /Asherah/Easter, Greek Aphrodite and Mary goddess, Consort of God & Mother of God\<​www.jstor.org/stable/3136671\>​.','#dfefff', 260)"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()"> as well as Oannes/Enki/Dag•ōnꞋ.

RëꞋa’s identification with the sea and mythical merman gods is immediate: RëꞋa was believed to be the daughter of Oceanus (divine personification of the ocean) and Tæthus, mother of the river gods and the mermaids (sea nymph deities). The (Hellenic Mycenean) Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan-Pūlossians likewise believed that RëꞋa was the mother of Poseidon, who, with his consort, Amphitrite, gave birth (among other gods) to a merman sea-god, Triton—“always conceived as presenting the human figure in the upper part of their bodies, while the lower part is that of a fish”) as well as Ζεύς. “Amphitrite, [conflated with both RëꞋa and Greek] Athena, is the paredros of the deity who was worshiped by the [Pūlossians] as Dãg•ōnꞋ, [which] in Greek lands became Triton, Apollo Delphinius, Poseidon [and] Ζεύς.”

Fish accompanied the Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan motifs on pottery, wall paintings, etc. The whole gamut of Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan figurines (idols), however, have been largely exposed as forgeries. Imagery, consequently, is limited to wall frescos excavated by archeologists with provenance to Knossos, Palaikastro (Crete) or Akrotiri (Kal•lisꞋtæ).

RëꞋa is depicted wearing the “IꞋsis Loop” (Egyptian , “Sacred Knot”) bow on her back, which is likely an abbreviated abstraction (like the ikhꞋthūs) of their maritime fish priestly garb (and, perhaps, inspiring angelic wings and “Wonder Woman” with her magic lasso in foreign cultures). The “IꞋsis Loop” identifies this not as a mere priestess; in the Kᴴa•tᵊ•tūꞋshan religion, this (perhaps a living queen) was the their principle goddess “incarnate”: RëꞋa.

Although the connection of Helios to Zeus does not seem to have basis in early Greek cult and writings, nevertheless there are many examples of direct identification in later times.[312] The Hellenistic period gave birth to Serapis, a Greco-Egyptian deity conceived as a chthonic avatar of Zeus, whose solar nature is indicated by the sun crown and rays the Greeks depicted him with.[313] Frequent joint dedications to "Zeus-Serapis-Helios" have been found all over the Mediterranean, for example, the Anastasy papyrus (now housed in the British Museum equates Helios to not just Zeus and Serapis but also Mithras,[314] and a series of inscriptions from Trachonitis give evidence of the cult of "Zeus the Unconquered Sun" (wiki/Zeus)

Sët (glyph)

Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  — wolf mask, worn by an Egyptian priest; god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners.

Egyptian priests wearing Secretarybird-god Sët mask (left) and falcon-god HōrꞋus mask (right) bless Rã-moses Jr. (center, Temple at Abu Simbel, Nubia, Southern Egypt)

Younger son of Rã, Sët was the brother of Ö•sirꞋis.

While it was Sët who dispatched the evil ÃꞋpëp serpent every night, enabling Rã to be reborn every morning, it was also Sët who murdered his older brother, Ö•sirꞋis, in order to take the throne.

To prevent Ö•sirꞋis from resurrecting himself like (Egyptians believed) their father, Rã, did every morning, Sët butchered Ö•sirꞋis and scattered his body parts throughout the Nile.

The mask-portrayal of the mythical-god of Sët is not known—until right now as I publish it (2025.05.18). Contrary to (Ph.D.) and myriads of other speculators, popular interpretations, his wãs scepter is totally not-understood, at all, and misrepresented. The beauty is, when it's right, many "stray" pieces, equally not-understood, fall into place to form a perfect picture.

The Wãss scepter, Symbol of WãssꞋët

Sët was associated with, and the power of his scepter—of the mythical Atum (the mythical Egyptian self-created creator of all)—is credited for his victorious (mythical) battle, from the bow of conquering the mythical Typhonian/Typhonic serpent, aka ÃꞋpëp (Hellenized to Apophis, their serpent-god that devoured Ra/sun every evening—and a "BënꞋnū bird"!

TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ (An­gli­cized to TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ/Thoth/Tuth — commonly Tut;)—Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism  Hel­le­nized to Θώθ, originally thought to be the ibis (or baboon) moon-​god, thus conflated with Yah.

Over time, Egyptian beliefs evolved it into their scribe-god of learning (specifically, cryptanalysis) who invented hieroglyphics and supposed author of the original "Book of Magic"; symbolized by the writing palette or reed pen glyph.

TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ was key in deriving the ritual enabling IꞋsis to bring Ö•sirꞋis back from the dead. It was TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ that drove Sët's magical poison from IꞋsis' son, HōrꞋus, with the power of its magic.

—Egyptian Anim­ism & An­thro­po­mor­phism WãdʸꞋet,  symbolized by a rearing green spitting-cobra goddess, protector of Lower (i.e., northern) Egypt.

When a daughter-goddess of Rã, became lost (despite her being the "Eyes of Rã"; her left eye being the moon-god TʸᵊhūꞋtʸᵊ and her right eye being the sun-god Rã), he sent WãdʸꞋet to find her. When WãdʸꞋet succeeded in finding and returning her, WãdʸꞋet apparently thereafter eclipsed her predecessor as the "Eye of Rã."

WãdʸꞋet then went on to become the cobra-protector of HōrꞋus—the "Eye of HōrꞋus."

Yah physicomorphic (anthropomorphic) idol First known instance of Egyptian moon-god Yah was Seqenenre Tao Sr. (birth of daughter pre-BCE 1600 reign), named his daughter Yah-hotep (Yah is pleased); 2ⁿᵈ Intermedate 13ᵗʰ-16ᵗʰ, Abydos & 17th Dynasty based on Ramsey ¹⁴C dating. This, of course, is merely around 3-5 years prior to the Thura eruption & xYetziah, whereas Israel had "sojourned" in Egypt since ≈BCE 1775 (see my Chronology). This was also, not coincidentally, the era of the ShasꞋu, the Egyptian term for Israel and other immigrants fleeing the famine in a•dâm•âhꞋ to the Mediteranean "Bread Basket"—the Egyptian Delta.

This muddled 2 historical facts: (1) The Shasu were "Israel & the "mingled hordes" of the Yetziah, and (2) the peoples of a•dâm•âhꞋ introduced Yah (having derived from Sin) into Egypt (derivation of the Sinai). "Definitions" of the meaning of "Yah" in ancient Egyptian are dubious. The name for "month" was the name for "moon" in neighboring ancient languages, and I challenge whether Yah, outside of Egypt, and before Israel's sojourn in Egypt, was ever Yah. The original Egyptian term seems to be "pᵊsad" (moon), or "abed" (), rather that Yah.

Ζεύς [Updated: 2025.06.01]

qqq From Proto-Hellenic *dzeus‎, from Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws‎. Cognate with Sanskrit द्यु‎ (dyú), Latin Iuppiter‎ (Jupiter)—which (although Christian sources religiously avoid [pun noted]) makes it a cognate of Deus = Gãd / God.

Zeus; the primary Hellenist god, \'\'from Gk., from Proto Indo European *dewos- \'\'god\'\' (cf. L. deus \'\'god,\'\' O. Pers. daiva- \'\'demon, evil god,\'\' O.C.S. deivai, Skt. deva-), from root *dyeu- \'\'to gleam, to shine\'\'…\'\' (www.etymonline.com accessed 2012.04.24).

Thus, English: god = Theos = Deos = Zeus!!! Ζεύς / Jesus

Although the connection of Helios to Zeus does not seem to have basis in early Greek cult and writings, nevertheless there are many examples of direct identification in later times.[312] The Hellenistic period gave birth to Serapis, a Greco-Egyptian deity conceived as a chthonic avatar of Zeus, whose solar nature is indicated by the sun crown and rays the Greeks depicted him with.[313] Frequent joint dedications to "Zeus-Serapis-Helios" have been found all over the Mediterranean, for example, the Anastasy papyrus (now housed in the British Museum equates Helios to not just Zeus and Serapis but also Mithras,[314] and a series of inscriptions from Trachonitis give evidence of the cult of "Zeus the Unconquered Sun" (wiki/Zeus)
