AAL’S LABYRINTH HISTORY An Alternative Viewpoint…..contd. 29.

2200 BCE     The Vernal Point, marking the Spring Equinox, is with the Pleiades (31) that is, in the constellation Taurus, making the Autumnal Equinox of the Egyptian New Year in the constellation Scorpio.
                                   
                    Around this time in the Middle Minoan Period is the establishment of the early palace of Phaestos, Crete. Construction of a second palace will begin c1700 BCE. Near Phaestos, a decorated sarcophagus shows scenes of the death rites of this time. (55)

                      An alternative date for the Vernal Point arriving at the cusp of constellation Aries is 2160 BCE. (99) The following year [2159] is the estimated time of a total eclipse over Memphis during the ancient Egypt Dynasty VIII. (240. 241)

The Pleiades, or the 7 sister stars, will be accented in the future Druidic ‘May Feast of Life’ and the ‘November Feast of Death’, which correspond to the Equinoxes and the two aspects of the Mother Goddess. Prayers will be made before the Pleiades on November 1, a date that will eventually become ‘All Souls Day’ and later ‘Halloween’.

c2100 BCE     GUDEA as ruler of the Sumerian city state of Lagash and reasserts the power of Sumer. This event is followed by the reemergence and rise of the city of Ur, followed by that of Babylon. (96) Gudea is called the ‘Shepherd of Ningirsu’. (173)

                        At the same time, UR-NAMMU is king of Ur in Sumer; his son is called Shulgi. Ur-Nammu aids the resurrection of Sumerian superiority and begins a final dynasty of Sumerian kings. Ur-Nammu builds the biggest and finest ziggurat in the land. His written Laws indicate an enlightened ruler-ship. Ritual Lyres are ornamented with Bulls, symbols of strength and fertility. These bulls have beards of Lapis Lazuli, (96) a stone also important to the Egyptians for jewelry, decoration and statues.

                      By about this time Sumerians and Semites are well integrated in Mesopotamia but with the Semites probably dominating politically. (173) A Code of Law from the Akkadian kingdom of Eshnunna, resembles the Covenant Code of the Bible. (173)
                         Gradually, Mesopotamia is subject to intrusions of people from the east and west, namely the Amorites and the Elamites, who are the ancestors of the Persians. (102)

2095                  SHULGI (2095-2048) king of the Third Dynasty of UR, builds a ziggurat at Eridu. (181)

2081 BCE        ABRAHAM the Hebrew, is also known as Abram or Father Oraham. He is King of Ur and a Chaldean initiate. [166] Some give his date as c1300 but Abraham, as possibly a composite character, is generally thought to have an historical date some time before 2081. (84) Abraham is looked upon as the father of the Israelite people (Hebrews/Jews) and is also honored by Christians and the Moslems as their spiritual ancestor, and a model of faith in God. He the first great patriarch of Israel, and often referred to as Father Brahm, which name is apparently based on the Indian Brahma. Abram married his half-sister Sara (later called Sarah) whose name means ‘Queen’ and is a reference to the original Mother Goddess. (13) Possibly these two characters of Abram and Sara, symbolize the Sun and Moon, and the influence of these cosmic bodies on the living Earth and its inhabitants.

                        Abraham is versed in Babylonian star law and carries the Egyptian Hermetic philosophy in its Babylonian form, and which harbors the seeds of the Hebraic language. (242) Abram left Ur under divine inspiration and went to the city of Harran. This is a location of the Sabians/Sabeans or star worshippers. From Haran/Harran Abraham travels to Canaan, where he lives as a nomadic chieftain. Canaan will become known as Palestine in the future, named after the ass god Pales/Pan/Set, who is the disguised goddess Diva Palatua or Vesta. (13)

                        Abraham has a son, Ishmael, by his wife’s Egyptian slave Hagar/Agar, and later a son, Isaac, by his lawful wife Sarah. Sarah’s jealousy caused Hagar and Ishmael to be ostracized. Ishmael’s descendants will be a Bedouin tribe called the Hagarites and nomadic Arabian Ishmaelites, who will form the Biblical Twelve Tribes.

                        

                                    Abraham took his other son Isaac to the spot designated by God to offer him in       sacrifice as a symbol of his commitment. This place is an outcrop of rock on Mount Moriah and destined to become the altar place of the Temple of Jerusalem. (222) Also, known as Mount Zion, it will become the site of the first Jewish temple to be built in the future by King Solomon, and later function as a center for the Knights Templar.


                                    Hebrew tradition attributes the book of wisdom, ‘Sepher Yetzirah’ to Abraham who lived when the pole star was Thuban of the constellation Draco (3500-2000 BCE). Earth’s pole reached its closest to this star c2800 BCE indicating that Draco was ‘the King on his Throne’ at this time, that is, the controller and pivot of the universe. (232)




                                    QUEEN SHABIB (SHEBA) as the earthly embodiment of the moon, reigned on the Sinai Peninsula at the time of Abraham, and at the place where Moses will later receive the covenant that unites him to the god Yahweh. Shabib will build Nisib and Edessa and establish the sanctuary of Harran where is kept an idol of gold called Sin, the Moon-god of Sinai.  The Egyptians knew the land of Sheba as Punt or Ophir. Sheba’s capital is Marib (Mariaba) with a moon temple at Almaqah, where priestesses are known as ‘Sabeans’ and priests are known as ‘Mukarrib’ (kindred of the moon). Queen Shabib is one of a long succession of matriarchal Queens of Sheba and who are the fore-runners of the future King Solomon’s ‘Queen of Sheba’. (13)

                                    Mythology says that Harran was built by Nimrod and is the site of the death of Tammuz. Harran will eventually pass through the hands of varying conquerors, from the Babylonian Empire, the Persian Achaemenid dynasty, the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great, and the Arabic Seleucid rulers; eventually to be located in the country of Turkey. [328]

                                    The inhabitants of Harran will continue their ‘Pagan’ worship when Christianity takes hold in the 4th century CE. Under Muslim threat in the 9th century CE, the pagan Hurrans will adopt the name of Sabians, as they become modified by Hellenic, Persian and other influences. Harran will remain a famous site of ancient ‘beehive’ houses and will be the birth place of the future Gnostic Mandean sect.
