HAYR/HIER HAYG, H FOR PISCES, AYG FOR DAWN
A hierogram (from Greek / Neo-Latin hiero (holy) and gram (writing / sign)) is a religious pictogram , i.e. a formulaic graphic / pictorial sign with a fixed meaning. In the time when there was no writing, hierograms were the identification marks for sacred objects, representations or places and important people.
The attribute of the Sumerian god Enki included a goat and a fish, partly depicted as a chimera . Later, only the Capricorn or Aries was used as its hierogram. As symbols of God, these two also became signs of the zodiac . Well-known assignments of objects or animals to certain gods ( Odin's horse and ravens, Neptune's trident, club of Hercules , bull of Zeus ) are still required in written time because illiteracy prevailed. Still with Christian apostles- or representations of saints was and will be ensured by the constant assignment of hierograms (now called iconographic saints attribute ) ( Peter = key, Holy Spirit = dove or halo ) that the viewer of images is able to classify what it is about.
Hayk (Armenian: Հայկ, Armenian pronunciation: [hajk]), also known as Hayk Nahapet (Հայկ Նահապետ, Armenian pronunciation: [hajk naha'pɛt], lit. 'Hayk the "head of family" or patriarch', is the legendary patriarch and founder of the Armenian nation. His story is told in the History of Armenia attributed to the Armenian historian Moses of Chorene (or Movses Khorenatsi, c. 410 – c. 490)."This is how the origination of the Armenian forefather is depicted in book of Movses Khorenatsi (Moses of Chorene): 'The first of the gods were dreadful and outstanding and they were the reasons of world’s blessings, they were reasons of the beginning of world and population. From these gods the giants were originated... One of them was Yapetostean Hayk ….'
According to the accounts of Moses of Chorene and Sextus Julius Africanus, the battle occurred between the dynasty of Hayk and a Chaldean Dynasty in its third generation that had control of Babylon and the remaining territory of Akkadia under King Belus, a symbolic Babylonian/Akkadian God of War, or founder of Babylon depending on mythological tradition. The conflict is said to have happened in 2492 BCE or 2107 BCE. Bel may symbolize the Gutian dynasty of Sumer, which ruled remnants of Akkadia as a tyrannical power during a Mesopotamian Dark Age after the Akkadian Empire broke up in 2154 BC. Gutia is also overlapping with Chaldeas territory.
In Moses of Chorene's account, Hayk son of Torgom had a child named Armanak while he was living in Babylon. After the arrogant Titanid Bel made himself king over all, Hayk emigrated to the region near Mount Ararat.[12] Hayk relocated near Mount Ararat with an extended household of at least 300 and settled there, founding a village he named Haykashen. On the way he had left a detachment in another settlement with his grandson Kadmos. Bel sent one of his sons to entreat him to return, but was refused. Bel decided to march against him with a massive force, but Hayk was warned ahead of time by Kadmos of his pending approach. He assembled his own army along the shore of Lake Van and told them that they must defeat and kill Bel, or die trying to do so, rather than become his slaves. In his writings Moses states that:
Battle of Giants and defeat of Bel
Hayk and his men soon discovered Bel's army positioned in a mountain pass (Moses of Chorene located the site as Dastakert), with the king in the vanguard.
At Dyutsaznamart (Armenian: Դյուցազնամարտ, "Battle of Giants"), near Julamerk southeast of Lake Van, on August 11, 2492 BC (according to the Armenian traditional chronology of the first month of the Armenian calendar, Navasard or 2107 BC (according to "The Chronological table" of Mikael Chamchian), Hayk slew Bel with a nearly impossible shot using a long bow, sending the king's forces into disarray.
The hill where Bel with his warriors fell, Hayk named Gerezmank meaning "tombs". He embalmed the corpse of Bel and ordered it to be taken to Hark where it was to be buried in a high place in the view of the wives and sons of the king.[citation needed]
Soon after, Hayk established the fortress of Haykaberd at the battle site and the town of Haykashen in the Armenian province of Vaspurakan (modern-day Turkey). He named the region of the battle Hayk, and the site of the battle Hayots Dzor.The figure slain by Hayk's arrow is variously given as Bel or Nimrod. Hayk is also the name of the Orion constellation in the Armenian translation of the Bible. Hayk's flight from Babylon and his eventual defeat of Bel, was historically compared to Zeus's escape to the Caucasus and eventual defeat of the Titans.
I would also like to include again from Wikipedia the etymology, as is, of the name of the Armenian patriarch, Հայկ Hayk, which is not exactly homophonous with the name for 'Armenia'."Հայք Hayk’ is the nominative plural in Classical Armenian of հայ (hay), the Armenian term for "Armenian."[2] Some claim that the etymology of Hayk' (Հայք) from Hayk (Հայկ) is impossible[2][why?] and that the origin of the term Hay ("Armenian") is verifiable.[2][clarification needed] Nevertheless, Hayk and Haig are usually[how?] connected to hay (հայ) and hayer (հայեր, the nominative plural in Modern Armenian), the self-designation of the Armenians. Armen Petrosyan believes that the name Hayk can "very plausibly" be derived from the Indo-European *poti- ‘master, lord, master of the house, husband’.[3][how?]
Hayk would then be an etiological founding figure, like e.g. Asshur for the Assyrians, etc. One of Hayk's most famous scions, Aram, settled in Eastern Armenia from the Mitanni kingdom (Western Armenia), when Sargon II mentions a king of part of Armenia who bore the (Armenian-Indo-Iranian) name Bagatadi (which, like the Greek-based "Theodore" and the Hebrew-based "Jonathan," means "god-given").[4] Some sources claim that Hayk is derived from the Urartian deity Ḫaldi.
Armenian historiography of the Soviet era connected Hayk with Hayasa, mentioned in Hittite inscriptions.[6]
The Armenian word Haykakan or Haigagan (Armenian: հայկական, meaning "that which pertains to Armenians") finds its stem in this progenitor. Additionally, the poetic names for Armenians, Haykazun (հայկազուն) or Haykazn (հայկազն), also derives from Hayk."!
Goddess Ushas – The Vedic Goddess of Dawn
Vedas are universally accepted as the fountainhead of all knowledge whether of the material world or the spiritual world.
Ushas is referred to as the Vedic goddess of the light before sunrise in Hindu dharma. In the Rigveda, the goddess Ushas is continually associated with the dawn.
Ushas is the prominent goddess of dawn in the Vedas. She is depicted as the one who imbues life to all beings, as the "life of all life" and "breath of all breaths", according to Jones and Ryan. She is revered as the deity who revivifies earth each day, drives away the chaos and the darkness, sets all things in motion, sends all living beings to do their duties in the Vedas.
Ushas is the most prominent goddess within Vedic literature. She is from Vala cave from the beginning of time.
Usha is generally associated with light and wealth. She reveals herself with the daily coming of the light to the world. She passes forth light and is accompanied by the sun. She alone leads the Sun and discloses her excellence and fire to her world. She is honored by the worshippers for driving away oppressive darkness and chases away evil spirits. She sets all the things in motion and also sends off people from their duties after the completion of the day. She carries not just light to the sleeping mankind, but hope, happiness, riches, and all the good things. She has the magic of looking at everybody at the same time.
The ancient Vedic tradition has viewed Ushas as the harbinger of light, awareness, activity. She is regarded as the indirect light, or the dawn of human consciousness.As she leads the Sun into throwing his glance on the earth, revealing his immense power of direct light and warmth to the beings of the world she has been regarded as the light, or the dawn of human consciousness.
Celestial Yogini.
Ushas is ranked as a divinity in her own right. She is considered as a celestial Yogini, a form of Goddess, who is held as spiritual. Ushas is also a feminine divinity who stimulates the nobility from the innermost depths of the human soul. She has the power that can heal and bless people with immense knowledge and grace. she is the female principle of divine energy, especially when personified as the supreme deity.
The H grapheme represents the spirit and the breath of life, in Armenian and PIE.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Iota (Ι), Latin I and J, Cyrillic І, Coptic iauda (Ⲓ) and Gothic eis .
The term yod is often used to refer to the speech sound [j], a palatal approximant, even in discussions of languages not written in Semitic abjads, as in phonological phenomena such as English "yod-dropping".etc.
In early mythology from Wikipedia
Pisces (♓︎) (/ˈpaɪsiːz/; Ancient Greek: Ἰχθύες Ikhthyes) is the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It is a negative mutable sign. It spans 330° to 360° of celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this area between February 19 and March 20. In sidereal astrology, the Sun currently transits the constellation of Pisces from approximately March 12 to April 18 which is the period of the arrival of spring equinox. In classical interpretations, the symbol of the fish is exoterically derived from the ichthyocentaurs, who aided Aphrodite when she was born from the sea. "Pisces" is the Latin word for "Fish." It is one of the earliest zodiac signs on record, with the two fish appearing as far back as c. 2300 BC on an Egyptian coffin lid. Obviously not called Pisces originally. According to one Greek myth, Pisces represents the fish, sometimes represented by koi the love fish, into which Aphrodite (also considered Venus) and her son Eros (also considered Cupid) transformed in order to escape the monster Typhon. Typhon, the archetype "father of all monsters," had been sent by Gaia the earth Goddess to attack the heavenly gods, which led Pan to warn the others before himself changing into a halt goat, half fish and jumping into the Euphrates. A similar myth, one in which the fish "Pisces" carries Aphrodite and her son out of danger, is resounded in Manilius' five volume poetic work Astronomica:
"Venus ow'd her safety to their Shape." Another myth is that an egg fell into the Euphrates river. It was then rolled to the shore by fish. Doves sat on the egg until it hatched, out from which came Aphrodite the goddess of love. As a sign of gratitude towards the fish, Aphrodite put the fish into the night sky. Because of these myths, the Pisces constellation was also known as "Venus et Cupido," "Venus Syria cum Cupidine," "Venus cum Adone," "Dione" and "Veneris Mater," the latter being the formal Latin term for mother.
The Greek myth on the origin of the sign of Pisces has been cited by English astrologer Richard James Morrison as an example of the fables that arose from the original astrological doctrine, and that the "original intent of [it] was afterwards corrupted both by poets and priests."
Inanna in her aspect as Anunītu was associated with the eastern fish of the last of the zodiacal constellations, Pisces.
An astrological age is a time period in astrology that parallels major changes in the development of Earth's inhabitants, particularly relating to culture, society and politics, and there are twelve astrological ages corresponding to the twelve zodiacal signs.
The story of the birth of Christ is said to be a result of the spring equinox entering into the Pisces, as the Savior of the World appeared as the Fisher of Men. This parallels the entering into the Age of Pisces.The age of Pisces began c. AD 1 and will end c. AD 2150. With the story of the birth of Christ coinciding with this date, many Christian symbols for Christ use the astrological symbol for Pisces, the fishes.
The figure Christ himself bears many of the temperaments and personality traits of a Pisces, and is thus considered an archetype of the Piscean. Moreover, the twelve apostles were called the "fishers of men," early Christians called themselves "little fishes," and a code word for Jesus was the Greek word for fish, "Ikhthus." With this, the start of the age, or the "Great Month of Pisces," is regarded as the beginning of the Christian religion. Saint Peter is recognized as the apostle of the Piscean sign. The figure Christ himself bears many of the temperaments and personality traits of a Pisces, and is thus considered an archetype of the Piscean. Moreover, the twelve apostles were called the “fishers of men,” early Christians called themselves “little fishes,” and a code word for Jesus was the Greek word for fish, “Ikhthus.
Vesica Pisces:There are many mystical meanings attributed to the Vesica Pisces. Most relevant for me is, the fact that it is said to be the symbol of how the God and the Goddess join together to create. History also traces the use of the Vesica Pisces in art, sculptures, and paintings and more to the point in the shape of the fish. In Sacred Geometry, this symbol is the basic shape or pattern for the Flower of Life and the Tree of Life. It is also said to be a symbol or description of harmonic proportions and a source of strength and power of a union of any pair of opposites, which 'is' what 'is' that 'is' represented in sacred geometry as a pair of intersecting circles, composed of two spheres with the same radius, which intersect within each other’s circumference. Pythagoras considered it a holy figure because the ratio of its width to its height was 165:153 or 1.73203—a holy number. It should be noted that it carries forward, the number 153 is written in the Gospel of John as the number of fish that Jesus miraculously caught. It is because of this, that I can go along with the idea that it is also the symbol for Jesus Christ (ichthys). The shape was also said to be found in the Ark of the Covenant.
HAYG we can confirm is, or is said to be responsible for the Dawn of the Armenian age in the year 2549 B.C.
HAYG the PIE lover of the Goddess of Dawn brought forth a son ARA, 'the infinite light', cognitive consciousness. The Illuminated HAYG it seems to me, consciously brought forth out of rapidly corrupting Sumeria (where respect for the feminine was waning) a new righteous culture, a new nation, conceived in freedom from the despotism of the collective flood culture, back to the freedom of the agriculturist dependent on relief rainfall dependent on the whim of the god of lightning and thunder.(TESHUB riding on the back of a Bull) with the hope of freedom and liberty and justice for all, dedicated to the proposition that all life was created equal that exists on earth as in the ocean of Universal Oneness of the infinite Neptune..
The glyph of Pisces, the sign of the fishes, represents the two fishes connected to each other by a ribbon. Like the resulting fish at the union of the two circles in geometry represents, It symbolizes our need of union with one another in this life.
Aya (also Aja) in Akkadian mythology was originally a mother goddess, the consort of the sun god Shamash. She developed from the Sumerian goddess Sherida, consort of Utu and became Aya in Akkadian the word for "dawn".
”
Astronomer, Hayg must have been an inventive creative scribe, a central man of all affairs and a leading citizen of Sumeria 2494 B.C. Interestingly, the updated astronomy books and sky charts he had access to which depicted the outlines of the twelve constellations with their allegorical stories.
The name John "Oannes" the fishman', was once conjectured to be derived from the habitat of the ancient Sumero-Akkado-Babylonian god Ea, Hea, Haya, or HAIA.
We now known that the name Oannes is the Greek form of the Babylonian Uanna (or Uan) a name in texts from the Library of Ashurbanipal.
Early Armenian Below we have a collection of gods that are believed to have been native Armenian gods, worshipped during the earliest eras of Armenian history (Proto-Armenian). Many, if not all, of them are believed to have derived from Proto-Indo-European religion. There is also the likelihood that Armenians are influenced from the original indigenous inhabitants and beliefs of those from the Highlands. Any other suggestions like for example the gods of the Bronze Age kingdom of Hayasa-Azzi, or the gods of the Urartian pantheon could be imposed or borrowed from Hittite and Luwian, Hurrian, Semitic, and possibly Indo-Iranian neighbours. Zoroastrian influences penetrated Armenian culture during the Achaemenid Empire, though conversion was incomplete and syncretistic, and the Persians and Armenians never appeared to identify with each other as co-religionists despite both referring to ARA/AHURA MAZDA.
Astłik, cognate to the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna, identified with Venus. A fertility goddess and consort of Vahagn, sharing a temple with him in the city of ashtishat. The holiday of Vardavar was originally in honor of Astɫik. The name "Astɫik" derives from astɫ "star" from Proto-Indo-European *h₂stḗr plus the Armenian diminutive suffix -ik.
Ayg, goddess of the dawn.
Angeł "the Invisible" (literally: "unseen"), god of the underworld.[11] The main temple of Angeł was located at Angeł-tun (House of Angeł), which possibly corresponded to the Ingalova of Hittite and Ingelene/Ingilena of Greek and Latin records, likely located near modern Eğil.[12] Comparable with Nergal and Hades.
Turk‘ Angeł "Given by Angeł". A great-grandson of Hayk. A monstrous and ugly hero. Threw massive boulders to sink enemy ships in the Black Sea. Sometimes equated with Thor and Polyphemus and possibly Tarḫunna.
Amanor - "The bearer of new fruits" (the god of the new year, Navasard). May or may not have been the same god as Vanatur.[15]
Vanatur - Either meaning "the Lord of Van" or "giving asylum", Vanatur was the god of hospitality. He may or may not have been the same god as Amanor.[15] Later equated with Aramazd and Zeus.
Nvard (Classical Armenian: Nuard) - Consort of Ara. Comparable with Nane and Inanna (Ishtar). Likely developed into Anahit.[16]
Tsovinar "Nar of the Sea", goddess of waters and the ocean. Perhaps also a lightning goddess. Became the consort of Vahagn. Possibly connected to Inara.
Andndayin ōj, "the Abyssal Serpent" that lived in the black waters surrounding the world tree.
Nisaba wife of Haya (Sumerian: 𒀭𒉀 DNAGA; later 𒀭𒊺𒉀 DŠE.NAGA),[1] is the Sumerian goddess of writing, learning, and the harvest. She was worshiped in shrines and sanctuaries at Umma and Ereš, and was often praised by Sumerian scribes. She is considered the patroness of mortal scribes as well as the scribe of the gods.
