  • Preserved in Eusebius of Caesarea's Praeparatio Evangelica (c. 313 AD), the Theology of the Phoenicians by Sanchuniathon presents a euhemerist account of the creation of the world and the birth of the gods from among the ranks of primordial man.

    "The Greek myth about the alphabet was that Cadmus, reputedly the king who introduced the phonetic letters into Greece, sowed the dragon's teeth, & they sprang up armed men. Like any other myth, this one capsulates a prolonged process into a flashing insight. The alphabet meant power & authority & control of military structures at a distance.
    When combined with papyrus, the alphabet spelled the end of the stationary temple bureaucracies & the priestly monopolies of knowledge and power. Unlike pre-alphabetic writing, which with its innumerable signs was difficult to master, the alphabet could be learned in a few hours. The acquisition of so extensive a knowledge and so complex a skill as pre-alphabetic writing represented, when applied to such unwieldy materials as brick and stone, insured for the scribal caste a monopoly of priestly power."
    [Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan, 1973]

      Cadmus is a Greek son of Agenora from Argos in the Peloponnese
      the old man settled in Phoenicia and founded a state
      cadmus simply returns to the land of his ancestors
      Cadmus lived many generations before the Trojan War around 1400-1500 BC.
      During this period and many centuries later there was no alphabet
      The Mycenaean Greeks throughout Greece used the Linear Α and Linear Β script which was a syllabic script
      from the evolution of Linear B we have the phthonic alphabet that distinguishes consonants and vowels
      Phoenician is a syllabic writing system
      It does NOT count as an ALPHABET in the classical scientific sense of the term since it has an incomplete structure.
      does not separate letter-phoneme but SYLLABLES, except that the vowels or consonants X, Ψ, Φ were not included at all.
      Only the Greek alphabet progressed to the separation of syllables into letter-phoneme-sound
      the Phoenician A, how do you explain it since the Phoenicians had no vowels and finally it has a different phonetic quality than the Greek A
      All scientific terms related to writing, e.g. The grammar, syntax, tone, phoneme syllables are in Greek.
      if the alphabet had been found in Syria-Lebanon, it would have spread as a more practical script to Egyptians, Syrians, Arameans, Mesopotamians, but this did not happen to those who continued to write until Hellenistic times in cuneiform script.
      the Phoenician script is a simplification of the syllabic Cyprominoan script in Cyprus
      In fact, the Cyprominoan script is more complete for writing complex texts because it preserves the vowels
      today we cannot read Carthaginian inscriptions that were supposed to be written in the Phoenician script
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage_Administration_Inscription
      from the 4th century BC after the fall of the Persian Empire, the entire east from Egypt to Mesopotamia was written in the Greek alphabet. Why did they prefer the Greek alphabet and not the Phoenician script?

      Even when Eusebius was trying to denigrate them saying they thought the Sun, noon, and stars created and sustained everything, he didn’t realize how close they were to understanding that plants need sunlight and ocean life need the tides caused by the moon. Then again, I’m sure the Sumerians already knew those most obvious patterns before the Phoenicians or the Kemetic Egyptians.

    • @BinaryJoe
      @BinaryJoe 11 місяців тому +1

      I believe the point of this work has been lost on a lot of people in the comments on this video
      Eusebius was trying to illustrate that the earliest man had a proper conception of the creator of all things as the one to be worshipped and that after that began a chain of mundane events in the lives of subsequent humans who had forgotten where to place their worship and deified one another and the elements while mythologizing their own history.
      If one can at least safely assume that, even though Eusebius aimed at Christian apologetics, the text is correct in it's assertions (having not been written with Eusebius in mind let alone in collaboration), then it's safe to assume that the knowledge of how creation must have occurred would go back through oral tradition even before the Phoenicians formalised it into a religious system....before Tautus(sp?) invented writing.
      Remember, the Phoenicians are a much later sort of iteration of the Canaanites, so the history that Sanchuniathon related would have come from oral and early written history that would have been at least partially concurrent with times spoken of in the Pentateuch, most specifically the first parts the Old Testament, the Torah
      To that end, the Bible makes the same assertions about the nature of creation, but in broader sweeps. Even the fact that the potential for every type of plant and animal existed in the Earth before it ever sprang up.
      If one reads Gen 1 and 2 carefully, it's clear that creation existed as potential before it became "reality"
      This notion holds up on everything from the quantum scale (fields of probability and actualization) straight on up to the interaction of solar energy and earth's flora and Fauna.
      Even the movement of the holy Spirit over the face of the waters and the subsequent "let there be light" is a brief, albeit slightly mystical, description of the same forces spoken of regarding the Phoenicians...which would make sense because the Phoenicians have hereditary associations with both the Canaanite and the Israelite or Mosaic Hebrews; they were all once the same people.
      It's the mysticism that people inject into the Bible that prevents people from seeing the parallels.
      The very first line of the Bible states the same thing in fewer words, as the Phoenician cosmogony: "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." = Time, Space, and Matter. They MUST occur in that order or else the others have no meaning: No time? No meaning to space. No space? No place for matter.
      Even starting creation by saying "Let there be light.", is acknowledgement that all matter is defined, by light; not just in making matter visible by bouncing wavelengths off of it but also by literally infusing everything with solar energy which activates and powers the potential which exists in the makeup of our earth.
      Personally, I think Eusebius did something good here...and that should mean something because I'm generally not a fan of the movements of the RCC.
      What Eusebius is trying to express here is the same that as that told in the Bible: an early and correct recognition of the creator of ALL things as God and a subsequent "falling away" and forgetting of a fundamental truth.
      To be fair, the Bible may be guilty of the same sort of cultural influence that Sanchuniathon wrote about, but less so than the Greeks, if his assertions about the correctness of the history he relates is both true and hasn't been altered by Eusebius.
      To that end, Sanchuniathon has presented a completely mundane history which sounds an awful lot like the things spoken of in the Torah and the inheritance of a misunderstood theology completely agrees with the repeated assertion of early Israelites that their people had fallen into idolatry.
      Syncretism is the act of folding one's culture into religious practices to make it more palatable, just as Sanchuniathon described early men doing with their ancestors and the Greeks doing with that history by turning it into their mythology. We can't help it, we're stuck in time. So, I like it very much when I can grab onto another piece of the puzzle that strips the mysticism from religious tradition.

    So, Eusebius had access to Phoenician texts translated by a Philo (not THE Philo), but these texts don't survive except in the quotations that Eusebius chose to minimize and dismiss the religion of Syro-Palestine that prevailed before the imposition of the Hebrew bible religion and Christianity on the people there. I can't help but imagine that he took from them what he thought was useful for his own agenda, and destroyed them, like the scene in Acts where Paul has the people of Ephesus burn their books. It would be too embarrassing for Hebrew and Christian origins to have the testimony of other cultures interfering with their version of theological history, so they write their own disparaging account of it, and destroy the actual accounts that were still extant in their own time. Is this too imaginative? Is this what happened?

In regards to the incident of the book burning in Ephesus, Christians were not the dominant group in power.

      Pythagoras means Heart of the Serpent, he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother recieved a message from the Oracle of Delphi that he would become a great Leader and Teacher. Sidon means Kingdom of the Fish, and the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eschmun III found in Sidon names him as the Widow's Scion, aka Hiram Abiff, the Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes).
      In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, basically "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt and Hiram, father of Jezebel and King of Assyria, and Egypt, forming the Phoenician colonies and building the first Temple of Melqart to commemorate the alliance.
      The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Oddly enough irrational numbers can also be mapped using Euler's number, producing a Templar Cross in the process. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, and is consistent with the Union Jack, and Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican Shiva Lingam.
      Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, their culture also found its way to Japan (via the Phillipines) ultimately becoming Shintoism.
      It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, thats what the Antikythera mechanism was for, and with it they wrote the Byblos Baal, what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC and called the Vaticanus Greacus, or Son of the Sacred Serpent, a reference to Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hexidecimal or base 60 system found in all the Megalithic sites around the world.
      In the second century AD astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means Star Watcher, and the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was Israel or El, (Fruit) of Isis and Ra.
      El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, and his consort Astarte represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. It may be possible to trace lineages and alliances through the naming of gods, which can be traced all the way to Ireland and the Vikings, and to Indonesia and the Americas, even as far away as New Zealand and Australia.
      It denotes Sirius as Son of Orion and Pleaides, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (dir Seth) Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, and Assyrian New Year, the first New Moon of September, which is called September because it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophiuchus.
      The Phoenix, Benben, or Bennu is the Egyptian word for Heron, a Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense and myrrh at BaalBek, and then alights atop the Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Alter of Ra every 630 years to take three days off the calendar during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means "Prince". The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu.
      The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon travelling through the Constellations, as a soul migrating from body to body, this is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or the Hero's Journey. The various planets no doubt play their own roles as portents, omens, and aspects, this astrology is the science of the Bronze age, and lasted all the way up to the 20th Century. Resurrection was an early teaching of the Christian Church, and likely relates to the lineage of Kings (The King is Dead, long live the King.)
      Phoenicians represent the interim step between Egypt and Greece, their artisans and culture exceeding that of the Greeks, who literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day, sounding out words phonetically. Phoenician is aliiterated in Venetian, and Vikings, being Kings of the Sea.
      The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, no different to the traditions of the Etruscans, who saw birds as sacred, just as the Celts. Hebrew and Iber as in Iberia have the same root meaning over, as in overseas, as in those who travel "over the sea." A colony called Iberia also appears on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, where the same Dolmens and Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany appeared circa 4500BC.
      _Phoenician_ means Scions of the Phoenix, the first Bible: Vaticanus Greacus Son of the Sacred Serpent (Prince). Then there's the Essenes, Sons of Light, the Tuatha De Danaan, Sons of Light, Annunaki, Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon means Arthur Son of the dragon, Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" and Dracula also means Son of the Dragon, Masons have been known at times to call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent". The Ziggurat of Anu also denotes her as a great white Serpent, while New Grange and the Bru na Boinne in Ireland (4000BC) coated buildings with white quartz to denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels outside the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees, which means it passes through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning "Teacher" the Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19.
      The name "Pharoah" means "Great House"
      or "House of Light" and Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaoh's themselves wore a hooded crown representing feathers, just as Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent, they were also called the Commander in Chief. Aztecs also had Serpent Kings, (Canaan means Serpent Kings, and Sidon was a Son of Canaan, and Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with cunning and guile, being the very virtue by which they claim the title in the first place; but to be seen in public as just and diplomatic.
      "As wise as Serpents, but gentle as Doves" the old Egyptian flag of an Eagle attacking a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila.
      The dimensions and 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also expressed in New Grange, and Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) and Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Hexidecimal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on.
      Officially no one knows who invented astrology, the zodiac, navigation by the stars, and time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, and pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago also knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, as well as the speed of light. These calculations can all be made using these Megalithic sites as surveyors use a theodolite. Specifically Teotihuacan, which sits 180 degrees opposite Cairo, and has the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, by which one can accurately determine Longitude for navigation. Capt cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island.
      The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (israel) sat just offshore from Ur Shalom, City of the New Moon, or City of Peace. The root of the name Jerusalem, and was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 13 year seige. The gap between is 216 years.
      Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar Metonic Calendar on which this system is based, they also carried mirrors, a practice associated with both the Magi and the Druids as well as Greek and Egyptian scholars, these Mirrors are Astrological charts called "Cycladian Frying Pans" and record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart (the Phoenician form of Horus, or Hercules, or Pan, or Thor) representing the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or the Serpent Bearer (hence Orphic Serpent worship) had pillars of Emerald and Gold, representing Isis and Osiris. The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Jewish rebellion against Rome. "Give that which is Ceasar's unto Ceasar"
      When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they moved to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, where they built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze.
      Nebuchadnezzar also seiged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account of the Jews. And again in 70AD after a three and a half year seige, also consistent with biblical accounts.

Despite the motivation to demonstrate to the Greeks that they didn’t understand the real origin of their deities; seems to me an important lesson is the amazing revelation that the deities were our ancestors! I don’t see this really as degrading their “divineness” because they clearly did amazing things and led amazing lives, worthy of being remember and venerated (as we should honor our ancestors, right?). Also, it indicates that we are special too! Not perfect but, still unique.

    • @TheModernHermeticist

      My comment sections are often quite a sight to behold. To answer your question about snakes/serpents: the usual answer as to why they were considered good in pagan religions has to do with the shedding of its skin and its regular rebirth. This was thought by the Romans to represent the family genius, which continued to live on despite the death of individuals in a family. In Greece it was associated with the agathodaimon (the Good Spirit) or Zeus Ktesios (the Zeus of the household). The serpent wasn't associated with the devil until much later, since 'ha satan' doesn't make an appearance in the Hebrew Bible until the Book of Job (which admittedly is one of the oldest books), where he serves as the accuser in God's heavenly court. It's a Christian interpretation that brings together a bunch of factors from both the demonization of pagan belief and from a bac-reading of Hebrew scripture. Revelation 12:9 calls Satan "the ancient serpent" based on the fight between YHVH and Leviathan in Isaiah 27, but in the epistles. Paul puts the blame for the original sin squarely on humans, and not on Satan or an ancient serpent. So in brief, it's not a modern thing, but it's a Christian thing which would have been in place by the time of Eusebius.

The first set are named Shahar and Shalim, Dawn and Dusk, Beginning and Completion, Hope and Finality. His second set are the ironically named Beautiful Gods, ravenous devourers who roamed the open country to the edge of the desert. War and Disease, Death and Despair. This could describe many families throughout history, 2 good kids and 2 bad kids. In the Ugaritic story, this is a prelude to a feast, and the story is chanted on repeat as the guests file in and are welcomed as Beautiful Gods while someone dressed as 'Death the Ruler' sits on a throne. In his hand, a staff of bereavement. In his hand, a staff of widowhood.

This dialogue went into experimentation and criticism. The Enlightenment was partly an attempt towards secularizing the world, ending the dogmatic dominations of superstitions, priests, the college of cardinals, monks, et cetera, whom wanted to live off of the fat created by the Peasants. Just saying. This new group of rulers wanted to use reason, logic and adherence to the law of nature.

    This is by Eusebius, who Wikipedia says was a "Christian polemicist. In about AD 314 he became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima in the Roman province of Syria Palaestina" His works helped lay the foundation for the New Testament, and he was favored by the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine. This particular work, according to Wikipedia, "attempts to prove the excellence of Christianity over every pagan religion and philosophy." So he lived at a politically crucial time when the new Christian religion was moving into the power centers of the Mediterranean, and consolidating its influence to change to a new world order. His propaganda made him rich, famous and powerful. In other words, this is a lot of slanderous, garbled nonsense.

      But just to take a minute to oblige you, Wikipedia simply says that Philo of Byblos was Jew under the protection of the Roman consul, and got his information on the Phoenicians from Sanchuiathon. Let's all remember that Jews and Phoenicians were sworn enemies, as were Romans and Phoenicians--see the Punic Wars. So he was just a shill, clearly. And on your vaunted Sanchuiathon, Wikipedia has this: "They present a euhemeristic réchauffé of Phoenician theology and mythology, which is represented as translated from the original Phoenician".[1] Sanchuniathon was thought by scholars to be "an imaginary personage, whose name is formed from that of the Phoenician god Sanchon"
      For anyone who wonders, euhemeristic means treating myth as real history. Which is a silly, manipulative, and very ill-intentioned thing to do. Turn on your TV for the latest results of that.

      Firstly, you're mixing up your Philos. Philo of Byblos is not Philo of Alexandria. He's of Phoenician origins, and was quoted by Porphyry, who was himself a Phoenician, and also an anti-Christian author who did not share Eusebius' biases in any way.
      Secondly, you are quoting one scholar from 1911, and cherry-picking a quote that reaffirms your preconceived notions, and I know this because you explicitly omitted the following phrase from the article you're quoting which says "However Edinburgh Professor P. B. R. Forbes wrote that 14th century BC documents from Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit), published since 1929, have 'proved conclusively that Sanchuniathon is doubtless a verity in view of the many correspondences between him and these fresh texts'."
      Thirdly, nowhere did I say I was presenting this material as fact. I just read sources as they are because they are interesting artifacts.

      You chose for a title of your video "THE Theology of the Phoenicians" without qualifying it as the opinion of an anti-pagan who worked for the dominant political power of the age. My cherry picking was a quick way of showing that there are doubts and biases, which puts the so-called authority of your ancient texts into strong doubt. These were just humans, and age does not really confer authority. A casual surfer of UA-cam would not realize the context that you leave out of your 'interesting' posts. @@TheModernHermeticist

    He has basically played a trick on Humanity where the ones who have their third eyes blind
    are unable to remember their own godhood so they fall in line as sheep for his disciples and their various religions.
    There's a reason the three big religions don't really encourage you to do any soul-searching or ask to many questions just obey what they say.
    The creators of the one God religions are the ones who killed Jesus and prevented you from hearing what he really had to say, threw purposeful Miss-translating and heavy-handed editing of the bible ,
    the simple fact that they got to pick and choose what was and was not part of the Bible should tell you something!

      Yes and here is why. It’s hard for us modern people to understand this but this world was created by the demiurge and the archons who trapped our souls in this time/death matrix to feed on our suffering. This is why the natural world is so fierce with many natural disasters and vicious animals etc... an enlightened being Prometheus/jesus/lucifer stole fire from the gods and gave it too human beings aka gnosis (knowledge) or enlightenment giving us the tools to overcome this world. Which is why many people live comfortable lives right now although the archons and their priests are working to change that. Anyways Jesus came and was trying to tell primitive or simple people this that is why Jesus speaks in parables to try and convey this concept to people who would have trouble understanding. After the death of Jesus many different groups were trying to figure out exactly what he was saying this is where many different branching forms of Christianity/Gnosticism started. However the priests of the archons tried to kill these people but the ideas Jesus left kept spreading so instead of trying to destroy it the priests took the writings of the people trying to interpret Jesus and hid them away except for the nag hammadi scrolls which were hidden. They the took the archon/gods worshipping religion and combined it with the worship of Jesus and created a new false religion Roman Catholicism and during the council of Nicea created the one religion and killed all the other groups of Gnostic/Christians the ones who followed Jesus who said that he cane to destroy the world. This is the battle happening right now one group in the know is waiting for Jesus to come wage war on this false world and another group trying to cheat the nature of this world through transhumanism combining themselves with machine to chest death and become like gods.

      ​@@TheModernHermeticist I'll try to keep this short, but he is right, it's mystery is in hidden symbolism, and spoken in allegory. The heavens produce their chosen one, much of that story was spoken in allegory, I'll try to use as much of it as I can, keeping it short and simple, but it still may be a bit long, I'll try to keep about the gates and the gate keeper.
      The Golden Gate of the Gods is located in Sagittarius, the center of our galaxy, where stars are born, they called gods. The Silver Gate of Man is found between Gemini and Taurus, Orion stands in the center. In astrology, Gemini are the arm and hands, Taurus is the throat that you speak from, but also swallow from. Sagittarius is the hips and thighs, Scorpio is the sexual organ, squeezed in between them is Ophiuchus, let's call it the womb, the 7 main stars form the shape of a cave door, pyramidal on top, a mountain, the belly of the mother goddess, let's not forget, 7 stars form the outline of Orion, the 8th is found on his Thigh, the bright star at the tip of his sword "Hatysa", meaning "slaughter", as Gohatya means "Cow Killer", but in Hebrew, haat means "to sin", yasa means "savior", read backwards "Savior of Sinners". Why does Orion have both a club and a sword?, Because the club once hung at Orion Nebula, now it is a flow of his blood, that carries his seed, in Sumerian, Haya means "grain", Haya was the god of Scribes, known as the Door-Keeper, later we'll come back to this star, but first, the removal of Orion's penis/club.
      The location of the Sun on the day of the summer solstice, is at the tip of Orion's club, on the day of the winter solstice, its next to a little bloody red spot in Sagittarius called Spiculum, meaning "spear". Asclepius is associated with Ophiuchus, known as the first physician. All physicians known that you put the speculum into a woman, if you want to see where babies come from. The other 7 stars are found in Thigh of the Ox Leg, Ursa Major, which was the consort to Draco, the goddess Taweret, portrayed as a bipedal hippopotamus with limbs like those of a lion. Her hand rests on the sa sign, 𓎃, a hieroglyph that means 'protection' or 'lifesaver'. In Sumerian, Ur means "Dog", next to the two is the standing wolf (dog) on a plough/bar, Polaris was known as the Dog's Tail, but symbol of the standing wolf on a bar, is the symbol of Wepwawet, the protector of the belly.
      The head of Draco was seen as a seed cup, they say Draco gets its name from Dagon the inventor of the plow, inside the seed cup was the dying and rising god of rebirth, known as "the Child" Damu, son of Pabilsag/Sagittarius, his mother was the Dog headed goddess Bau-Gula, known as the first physician, where Damu gets his healing ability, Damu was known as The Swine Star, a hippopotamus, a water swine. Bau-Gula was the Harp Star Vega, our pole star 12,000 years ago.
      If you place Hatysa on the western horizon, from around 30 - 35 degree north latitude, it will place Alula at midheaven, it means first born, it is the thumb on a wing, symbols, one of Judgement the other Messenger. Go backwards 6,606 hours, you find the same alignment, in the month of December, but the time is 7 hours apart, if you take away the 7 hours to make them the same time, Alula is found on the northern horizon, along with the two sets of twin stars that form the paws of Ursa Major, replaced at midheaven by Vega. If you use the first week of September, let's say the 6th, it lands on the 5th of December, with the Sun in centered with Ophiuchus, Do you know what the 5th of December has to do with caves. On September 6th, the Sun is still in Leo, The Sumerian word Ur-Gula means Both Lion and Great Dog.
      Play the words "Her Message, Say There Is A Guest, Her Bid One, Wise Quotes" in reverse, you hear it echo "Scorpio, November, Sagittarius, December", sounds like a wise guest coming through the gold gate of the gods.
      Play the words "Yam, Say Oath, Newest, Beyond The Mist, They All Rule" in reverse, they echo "Orion, Gemini, June, Taurus, May", Yam is Yama, meaning Twin, Yama is god of the dead like Osiris is, Yama was sacrificed by Manu, first man, used his body to create Earth and Mankind.
      Play the words "I Cupps, Scare Earth My Arm Of Nuit, Her Mithras, Boy/Girl" in reverse, they echo "Virgo, September, Vindemiatrix, Spica". Virgo, Latin for Virgin, ah but 'vir' is Latin for Man, gin is from 'gyne', Greek for Woman, the word Virgin hides Man/Woman, like Virgo hides Boy/Girl.
      Play the words "Way, I'll Open It, So They Go, See God", played in reverse the echo "August, Regulus, Denebola, Leo"
      That is as short as I can get it, but I had to remove a lot, like September 4th to 8th 2040, when all the visible planets align with Spica looking like a Spiculum, played in reverse "Mother Cupps" and Hatysa played in reverse "iosa', September 8th is the birthday of Mary, 2040 the first day of the new moon, the 6th is 16 days from the fall equinox, 106 days from the winter solstice, 169 days from the spring equinox, all will reduce to a 7, the summer solstice is 77 days from the 6th, remove 7 days, August 31st is 183 days either way to February 29th, Leap Day, when the 6th is the 250th day of the year, 115 days left.
      Maybe my next comment shows those numbers with the planets.
