AAL’S LABYRINTH HISTORY An Alternative Viewpoint…..contd. 16.


7000 BCE         THE GREAT MOTHER manifesting in three aspects. This TRIPLE GODDESS is known in:-

                            Egypt as                        Neith/ Isis
                            Sumaria as                    Inanna
                            Babylon as                    Ishtar
                            Canaan as                      Astarte/Anath
                            Urgarit as                      Asherah consort of Yahweh
                            Crete as                         Rhea.
                            Greece as                      Demeter (mother of Persephone)

                            The Great Mother Goddess is known between now and fifth millennium BCE and there are images of her in Anatolian villages in Turkey. This is the Neolithic or Late Stone Age and the time of the earliest known permanent villages.

6,600 BCE        GEMINIAN AGE begins and the now A definite dual condition of man is symbolized in the myth and constellation of the twins, Castor and Pollux. The chief cult of this age is that of the Serpent, symbol and guardian of ancient cosmic power and wisdom. The symbolism can be seen in Quetzalcoatl the Feathered Serpent god of the American Indians, and in the Dragon of many world mythologies. This power and wisdom are encapsulated in the concept of the Kundalini of India, and in the Uraeus of Egyptian pharaohs. 
                            This world age probably marks the development of writing, along with the worship of twin gods, such as seen in the Egyptian Set and Horus who will fight for supremacy in Egypt but for now rule together in unison until 4867 BCE.

                            HORUS & SETH two Ancient Egyptian gods of the north and the south, rule in unison and will rule together until 4867 BCE.

                            At the Equinoxes, the luminous bridge of the Milky Way now links the constellations of GEMINI and SAGITTARIUS across the vault of the skies; thus the Milky Way over-arches the Equinoctial Points. It is the ‘Golden Age’, said to be ruled by the Greek Saturn/Kronos (Sumerian Enki-Ea) until war broke out between Kronos of the Titans, and Zeus of the Olympians. This war provoked a massive world flood and brought about the end of this Golden Age. Kronos or Enki-Ea will be banished to Eridu (Canopis) as a result. This event may be another of a series of global ‘deluges’, or it may be another version of the Egyptian Horus/Seth battle.
                            As Gemini and Sagittarius mark the Equinoxes, then Pisces and Virgo mark the Solstices and so humans are now existing in the mutable cross of the heavens. As the Milky Way forms a bridge between the Equinoxes, it connects earth and heaven in an intimate way. Open communications between earth, represented in the zodiac or ecliptic belt, and the heavens of the greater cosmos is established. Thus gods and humans can communicate more easily in this ‘Golden Age’. It is an exceptional time and circumstance, living at the crossroads of the Ecliptic and Equator, the crossroads of the Ecliptic and Galaxy and may well be the time that the myth of the constellation of Cygnus the swan was laid down.

                            The Poles of the world axis fall between the North pole star Eltanin cDraco ‘on the dry earth’ and the South pole star Canopus, ‘in the depths of the waters’. It is theorized by some authors that the ancient concept of the ‘world’ was more of the cosmos and that earth or the livable land, was a reference to the zodiac belt. Everything above, that is to the north of the ecliptic, was on dry land and everything below it, that is to the south of the ecliptic, was in the waters below.

                            The star Canopus is called by the Arabs the ‘heart of the south’ or ‘Canopus Ponderosus’, heavy-weighing Canopus. Thus is could be related to the heavy or plumb-bob star of the South Pole in the ‘waters below’. In the Dendra zodiac, Hathor is termed ‘the lady of every heart circuit’, and the determinative sign for ‘heart’ is the plumb bob hanging from the line of the Egyptian surveying device, the ‘merkhet’. The Egyptian goddess Hathor (Hat Hor - house of Horus) rules the axis of the world.

6500                    Settlement at CATAL HUYUK is established near a field of obsidian in Anatolia (Turkey).   There are shrines decorated with bull’s horns among other things, and small statues of naked women presumed to be symbolic of the mother goddess. The figurines of women increased with settled agrarian living, replacing the dominance of men figures during the hunting and gathering phase of human development.  Perhaps here is the beginning of the ancestors of Greek Demeter the corn goddess.

6400                    OSIRIS & THOTH come out of the south where Osiris and Thoth were worshipped as moon gods of the star cult. They meet a population worshipping the sun at dawn (Re) and at twilight (Atum). Osiris introduces the lunar calendar of Thoth, which began at the Autumn Equinox for the sun worshippers. According to the Chaldean religion the sun god was the offspring of the moon god. Sun worship was Semitic.
