ARA The Sun light gets brighter

The Babylonian calendar was a lunisolar calendar with years consisting of 12 lunar months, each beginning when a new crescent moon was first sighted low on the western horizon at sunset, plus an intercalary month inserted as needed by decree. The calendar is based on a Sumerian (Third Dynasty of Ur) predecessor preserved in the Umma calendar of Shulgi (c. 21st century BC).

The year begins in spring, and is divided into reš šatti "beginning", mišil šatti "middle", and qīt šatti "end of the year". The word for "month" was arḫu (construct state araḫ). The chief deity of the Assyrians is assigned the surplus intercalary month, showing that the calendar originates in Babylonian, and not later Assyrian times.

ARA ALTAR ARA RATA

If you are curious to know why any group of intellectuals be attempting to down play the importance of discoveries made on the Highlands of Armenia that date 4000B.C. Remember that today the Armenian identity for many Armenians begins and ends with the Turkish genocide of 1915. It is the genocide that spawned the birth of the Armenian dispersion. Armenian identity, politics, religious beliefs and world vision have been dominated by this terrible event. 

This dominance has been reinforced by a stubborn and self-serving Turkish denial of the genocide, of responsibility for it, and even of the historic existence of Armenia. Western academia through the partnership and influence of the guilty masterminds in Ankara and their partners in crime who are still in positions of great influence in todays establishment who actively supported the genocide of the ethnic groups in Asia Minor including the very geographically influential anciently established Armenians, continues doing their best to cast doubt on Armenian and Armenia's origins and establishment in Asia Minor. The historic aim in the Armenian both in Armenia and in the Diaspora has been to re-convince the world of the truth of a single event--in order to establish a past that can explain the present Armenian condition.

For Armenians living in the Diaspora, in addition to defending the historical record, preserving the linguistic and literary heritage is an important part of the struggle. Because of historic persecutions of Armenia and Armenian's or the search for better economic opportunities, many Armenians living under Ottoman rule gradually moved to Constantinople, the capitol of the Ottoman Empire, while Tiflis (Tiblissi), in Georgia, became the center of Armenians living under Russian rule. These two cosmopolitan cities very soon became the primary poles of Armenian intellectual and cultural life.

The introduction of new literary forms and styles, as well as many new ideas sweeping Europe reached Armenians living in both regions. 

ARA

Etymology 1 Learned borrowing from Latin āra, from Old Latin āsa, from Proto-Italic *āzā (“altar”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eHsh₂- (“hearth, fireplace”), derived from the root *h₂eHs- (“to burn; hearth”).
(Ancient Rome) Ara was the base upon which objects were sacrificed to the gods by fire
(poetic) pyre Synonym: rogo (by extension) altar Synonym: altare.

The first altars of the Aryans were those of the cult of fire. Even the most elaborately constructed fire altars were not permanent, but were constructed in a temporary ritual arena called a yajnashala.  Agni, the fire, was celebrated in the Vedic hymns and kindled upon earth to carry prayers and offerings to the highest heavens. The central domestic rituals of the householder—daily rites, marriage rites, and finally funeral rites—took place at the fire altar. The altar is prominent in the Bible as "God's table," a sacred place for sacrifices and gifts offered up to God. The word altar comes from the Latin altārium , meaning "high," and also to the Latin adolere, which means "to ritually burn or sacrifice," which suggests its early purpose as detailed in the Bible. In the world of the Aryans, as glimpsed in the Vedas, there were hymns addressed to Agni and other gods, but there were no temples. In the Vedic age, the gods were imaged only in words. Agni like the Armenian VahAgni was described as the one with flaming eyes, hair and golden jaws, the messenger of the gods, through whom oblations were carried from earth to heaven. Laying and ritually kindling the fire altar was the job of brahmin priests. Zoroastrianism in Armenia dates back as far as to the fifth-century BC, notably during the Achaemenid and Parthian periods in the Armenian Highlands. Prior to Armenia's Christianisation, it was a predominantly Zoroastrian-adhering land. The yazatas Mithra (Mihr) and Verethragna (Vahagni) particularly enjoyed a high degree of reverence in the country. Today, after three thousand years, the fire altar is still an important part of domestic ritual life. When a child is named, when his or her first hair-cutting is performed, when a boy receives his sacred thread, or when a couple is married, the fire altar is central to the rite. The fire is the first flickering, portable, renewable icon and altar of the Divine. In the Armenian as well as the ancient Zoroastrian tradition, the central rites was called yasna and today the rite is still performed in the presence of the purifying fire. In a fire temple the Afargan or fire vase which rests upon the altar and contains the eternal fire in the presence of which Zoroastrians pray. Reports indicate that there were Zoroastrian Armenians in Armenia until the 1920s. This small group of Armenian Zoroastrians that had survived through the centuries, were known as the Arewordikʿ ("Children of the Sun"). They had never converted to Christianity, and had survived the late 19th/early 20th century massacres of Armenians in Western Armenia, from the Hamidian Massacres down to the Armenian genocide. Medieval Armenian sources narrate that the Arewordikʿ were never converted by Gregory the Illuminator, the patron saint and first official head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and that they had been "infected" by Zradasht (Zoroaster). The Arewordikʿ were specifically distinguished from Christian sects whose adherents were deemed heretics (such as the Paulicians and Tondrakians). The Arewordikʿ had seemingly taught the Paulicians and Tondrakians "to expose the dead on rooftops instead of burying them", which indicates that burial and exposure of the dead was practiced in Armenia as in Iran.

However there are Armenian and Georgian scholars, who, as de Jong adds "prefer to think of the pre‐Christian religions of the Armenians and Georgians as chiefly “local” or “indigenous” traditions, which accommodated some Iranian elements (Ananikian 1925)". De Jong continues:


They are aided in this interpretation by the fact that the (Christian) Armenian and Georgian sources rarely, if at all, identify the religion of their ancestors before their conversion to Christianity as “Zoroastrianism.” These sources either prefer seemingly neutral terms (such as “the religion of our forefathers”) or polemical ones (“heathenism”), but do not label the religion as “Iranian” or “Zoroastrian.” Where these terms occur, they refer to the religion Where these terms occur, they refer to the religion of the Persians, chiefly of the Persians as enemies of the Christian Armenians. This fact in itself, while undeniable, is not compelling; on the contrary, it seems to be in harmony with the self‐identifications of most of the Iranians; the wide spread of the term “Zoroastrian” is of post‐Sasanian date and even “Mazda‐worshipping” is mainly used in limited (e.g., imperial and liturgical) contexts. Iranian Zoroastrians seem to have been identified after the Iranian land they came from (Persians, Parthians, Sogdians, etc.), with the Zoroastrian element of their identity self‐understood.

KI TREE

The Arewordikʿ spoke the Armenian language and, as James R. Russell notes, revered the poplar and all heliotropic plants. A tree which a is a cypress, probably a Juniper, Ki in Armenian, was particularly revered by the Armenians,I believe it appears on an Artaxiad coin. The Arewordikʿ Armenians offered sacrifices for the souls of the dead, and the leader of the Arewordikʿ was called the Hazarpet (cf. Iranian Hazarbed). The Arewordikʿ were known to populate four villages in the area of Mardin (present-day southeastern Turkey) in the late 14th century, whereas others inhabited Samosata (modern Samsat, Turkey) and Amida (modern Diyarbakır, Turkey). In the town of Marsovan (modern Merzifon, Turkey), in the early 20th century, the Armenian quarter was known as "Arewordi". Furthermore, a cemetery outside the town was known as "Arewordii grezman", and an Armenian owner of a close by vineyard was named "Arewordian", in other words, Armenian for "Arewordi-son".

Starting with the etymology and alternate meanings of the word altar we find if we start with Old English that it had various spellings alter, altar etc. Finally today we have "altar" ending in 'ar' the word may have been influenced by the French which is said to have derived from the Latin words altare, again ending in the phoneme 'are'. The meaning for altare is given as podium or stage and that the word adolere to adore, in this sense suggesting the meaning to adore, to worship, honour, by  offering sacrifices on the altar to influence forces above beyond human understanding.The first altar recorded in the Hebrew Bible is that erected by Noah. Altars were erected by Abraham, by Isaac, by Jacob, and by Moses.

After the theophany on Mount Sinai, in the Tabernacle—and afterwards in the Temple—only two altars were used: the Altar of Burnt Offering, and the Altar of Incense.
The Greek myth for Ara the 'Roman Alter' seems to follow the story of the Bible, which tells of a conflict with the Nephilim, all in the book of Genesis. The Myth or the legend tells of demi-gods, half human and half angel (Elohim-gods), they were titans, giants of great stature. The counsel of heaven agreed that they must be destroyed before all creation became contaminated with Nephilim genetics, thus, God of the Bible sent a great flood. Noah alone and his family we are given were spared in the Ark, location of the new beginning Mt. Ararat.

“Then Noah built an Altar to the LORD, and he sacrificed burnt offerings…And the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said, Never again…” Genesis 8:20-21a
In the constellations of Ara, the Altar in some representations appears to be upside down. This it is suggested could be an indication that the idea is no longer, the idea for a need to sacrifice is over, for Yahushua (Jesus) is now the lamb, for no longer is there need for human or animal sacrifices to please the Lord. Jesus became the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world. According to Genesis, it is always gross sin and violence of man on man that caused the old world to be destroyed, and the righteous offered a new beginning.

For 3000 years after Noah’s Flood altars were built and sacrifices were made in hopes to appeased an angry God. 

The altar’s true purpose, as a place of worship and transformation had lost it’s original intent. Through the prophet Isaiah, God told the people that he was tired of their bloody sacrifices and the stench of their offerings. He made it clear that their worship was in vain because their hearts were far from Him, it was their hearts that he wanted. Some still have not get the message for old or new habits are very hard to break.

Anaphora" is a Greek word (ἀναφορά) meaning a "carrying back" (hence its meaning in rhetoric and linguistics) or a "carrying up", and so an "offering"[1] (hence its use in reference to the offering of sacrifice to God).

In the Book of Kings, we find a very powerful and positive use of the altar. Elijah challenged the Baal religious/political system led by Jezebel and Ahab. They had murdered many of the prophets of Yahweh. Elijah built an Altar and boldly said, "if God be God serve Him and if Baal be God serve him. The God that answers by fire, let Him be God.” 1 Kings 18

The Constellation Ara serves as a reminder of the power of the ancient altar when used in the name of oaths and faith. It is a place where the smoke rises and carries the essence up, it rises up to 'heaven' it is a point of separation-death, but the ego is mesmerised for it cant accept death, it does not want to die. An Alter is a place where one ministers to God before ministering to men.

Here are the names of the brightest stars of Ara. Ara to the Romans simply meant “the altar”.  
The 2nd brightest star of Ara is BAU. From the Egyptian language, Bau which means, “he comes.” This is the regular coming of the Christ or manifestation of the Christ. The Prophet Malachi states “he will suddenly come to his temple.” He comes to a prepared place. The altar of your heart or building a literal altar reflecting what’s in your heart – prepares you for the fire to fall.

The 3rd brightest star is Al Mugamra, in Arabic it means, “the finishing.” This is the realization that the work of Christ is Finished. Oftentimes, we have quoted, “It is Finished” and used it out of context. The work of salvation is finished, we are complete in Him, it was finished before the foundation of the world in God’s mind. However, Yahushua (Jesus) the son of God had to come and demonstrate it in the 3 dimensional world. He finished it…His part.

Does that mean that you and I have nothing to do but fold our hands and wait for a rapture, or to be transfigured as so many believe? NO! We must not be idle, but must finish our part. Everything we do is from the perspective of it’s finished, but we all have our part to act out as Jesus did. Paul spoke about finishing his course.

“Occupy (keep busy, doing business) until I come.”

WHAT DIRECTION IS ARA IN THE HEAVENS??

We have discovered that Sagittarius is in the South. There is a little known Scripture in the book of Job that give us lot of light on what astronomers call the Fornax Phenomenon. We will only be able to slightly touch on this mystery, there are many books waiting to be written on this subject.

“God is wise in heart and mighty in strength...He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars; He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea; He made the Bear (sub-constellation of Cancer), Orion (sub-constelllation of Taurus), and the Pleiades (7-stars on the shoulder of Taurus), And the CHAMBERS OF THE SOUTH;” Job 9:4,7-9

Since God made these constellation, shouldn’t His sons seek to understand them? What does Fornax mean? Fornax, a faint constellation in the Northern hemisphere lying between Cetus and Phoenix; the Furnace, a small northern constellation north of Cetus and Eridanus. From Latin Fornax means the Furnace. With understanding of the meanings of the names of the constellations mentioned and the symbolism, the chambers of the north is the heavenly (celestial) hell.

Ara the Altar is a part of the southern chambers of the heavens. Chambers are the houses or mansions of the constellations (Zodiac). The constellations play multiple roles in the heavens, they are a reflection of the many roles we play. At this point Ara becomes the Altar of Judgment. Judgment is not a bad word, this is where decisions and hard choices are made. At this point on your spiritual path, there can be no more playing around. The southern chambers have many blessings and mysterious powers to offer, for those able to receive.

[Behold, I show you a mystery: As we shared in Part 1 of Sagittarius series, the tribe of Asher was assigned to Sagittarius. The tribal leader of Asher during their northern encampment in the wilderness was Sethur. This is mentioned in Numbers 13:13. The name Sethur means hidden; occult. He was one of the 10 spies sent out by Moses. Sethur is the only name in the Bible that has the numeric value of 666 in Hebrew. Notice his name is given in chapter 13, verse 13 of Numbers- In Revelation chapter 13, we are introduced to the number of the beast (666). There are no coincidences. We are only connecting the celestial and earthly dots.]

Ara in the chambers of the south has 8-9 visible stars. In the north, there is a star constellation made up of (4-6) principal faint stars, named the Fornax Phenomenon with little light. These ancient constellations are barely ever mentioned but they hold deep mystical truth. Those who called themselves, the Illuminati and high adepts in spiritism, performers of conjurations, CERN techno-occult physics, and those interacting with dimensional world beings and demons, use this time of the year; while the Sun is in Sagittarius – Ara and Draco rising to perform many amazing successful feats. For those who practice dark occultism, there are specific seasons they summon demon helpers to come through portals, and they come. The dark energy of this season leading up to the Winter Solstice is more easy to manipulate. (Shouldn’t light-workers sons and daughters of God be using this same season to counter the works of evil? Did not the sons of Issachar know the times and seasons and knew what to do?)

Do you remember the mythology states that Ara was built by the gods to celebrate the defeat of the Titans, which the Bible call Nephilim? Once the Titans/Nephilim were defeated, where did their spirit go after their flesh died? Did some of those spirits get banished to the chambers of the south, or the chambers of the north? Could this be why Satanist and those who practice the dark arts are able to conjure high entities, while the Sun is in Sagittarius and Ara is rising? He that has an ear let him hear)

Just to dangle a spiritual carrot in front of you: there are special seasons one can summons specific angels also and they will come. Only that which is real can be counterfeited. (someday in the future we will have to do a lengthy study on angels and the constellations they are assigned to).

Before some of you disagree or un-righteously judge me, Does not your Bible say that an angel came down at a certain season (time) and troubled the water? John 5 (That specific certain time was while the Sun was in Libra) – As we often teach there are times and seasons governed by the heavens for things to be done on earth. Should not the sons of the Most High be building altars or making our heart an altar for the fire and blessings of God to come?

“From Issachar’s descendants there were 200 leaders who understood the times and knew what Israel should do. Their relatives were under their command.” 1 Chronicles 12:32


Here are the names of the hidden barely known powerful faint constellations-:

COLUMBA – This is the celestial – DOVE of Noah, that can be faintly seen in the heavens on Argo the Ship (Ark) constellation.

PHOENIX – the Fire Bird of death, resurrection and immortality.

MONOCEROS – the celestial Unicorn near Gemini

FORNAX – the celestial Lake of Fire at the end of Eridanus (River of judgment) constellation in Taurus.

TRIANGULUM – A Triangle or Pyramid shaped constellation, below Andromeda near Pisces- moving north.

DOES ARA HAVE A METAPHYSICAL ASPECT THAT RELATES TO THE BODY??

The first place in the Bible where it clearly states an Altar was built was in the new world, after the Flood. Noah built an altar and offered sacrifices before Yahweh after he came out of the Ark. (However, it is implied that an altar may have been built by Abel in Genesis 4)

Ancient Etymologies of Isidore of Seville states that ARCA (Ark) and ARA (Altar) are related words. If this is the case, the Ark was a giant Altar floating and all it’s inhabitants were a living sacrifice unto God. This would be foreshadowing what the sacrifice that God really wanted looked like. To take this just a bit further, this would hint at the Ark of the Covenant.

“The Greeks called the front of the torso from the neck to the stomach the thorax; this is what we call the chest (arca), because in that place is a hidden (arcanus), that is, a secret thing, from which other people are shut out (arcere). From this also a strong box (arca) and an altar (ara) derive their names, as if the words meant ‘secret things’”

In other words the Thoraic Cavity or System is the Altar. Your rib cage house the hidden or arcane knowledge of God that’s hidden in your heart. This is the chamber of the south in your body, the heart has 4 chambers. You have 2 lungs that’s apart of this complex system. Here we see the Rib cage (the outer covering of ARA), the 4 chambers and 2 lungs as the 6 faint constellations that make of the “chambers of the south.”

“God is wise in heart and mighty in strength…He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars; He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea; He made the Bear (sub-constellation of Cancer), Orion (sub-constelllation of Taurus), and the Pleiades (7-stars on the shoulder of Taurus), And the CHAMBERS OF THE SOUTH;” Job 9:4,7-9
(Keep in mind that the human anatomy plays various role in unlocking the mysteries of heaven and earth)



Arcane means hidden, secrets only known by few. Arcanus in Latin, the medical term Arca derived from arcanus is CHEST.

“Be not carried about with various strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with foods, which have not profited them that have been observing them.
We Have An Altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” Hebrews 13:9-10


The writer of Hebrews is exhorting the Believers not to worry about what type of food or animal to be offered on an altar. The Messiah had already fulfilled that by becoming the Lamb of God. Now each of us have an altar, that’s the altar of our heart and we can partake of our own spiritual sacrifice, if you identify with the Order of Melchizedek. Under the Aaronic Order, the Levitical priest had no right.

The heavens declare the glory of God and so does the human body. You are literally a living epistle reflecting literally everything written and hidden in the Bible. Offer upon your ARA Confessions, Praise, Thanksgiving and Prayer. The Ara of your heart serves as a portal to the supernatural and multi-dimensional worlds.

Enjoy the presence of ARA the Altar- allow your praise and worship to ascend as incense from the arcane places and secret chambers of your heart, using the air of your lungs to


force it out of your mouth into the atmosphere. Capture ARA’s energy rising December 2-11.

Order of Melchizedek

King Vramshapuh. knowing that there were Armenian inscriptions with a bishop named Daniel in Syria, sent to Vahric to bring them. Mashtots has been teaching Armenian students these letters for some time, but it turns out that these signs do not sufficiently correspond to the Armenian phonetic system. By the order of Sahak Partev and by the order of King Vramshapouh, Mashtots traveled to Syria with a group of his disciples, visited the cities of Amid, Samosat, and Edessa, consulted with the Assyrian clergy about the Armenian alphabet, but, without receiving support, undertook the task. According to Mashtots biographer Koryun, in 405 in Edessa "he with his holy right fatherly gave birth to new and wonderful births - symbols of the Armenian language."
Mashtots perfectly defined the actual system of Armenian word-forming sounds, guided by a single-letter, one-letter principle, arranged the letters in the Greek alphabetical order, gave each letter a name (alphabet, bin, gim ...), numeric value (A = 1, Ժ = 10, Ճ = 100, R = 1000 ...), set the direction of the letter from left to right. Only the letters "o" and "f" were added to the perfect Mashtots alphabet in the Middle Ages.What is the cause that brings forth existence? Is it material or immaterial?

The word logos became a technical term in Western philosophy beginning with Heraclitus (c.  535 – c.  475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge. The Stoics spoke of the logos spermatikos (the generative principle of the Universe) which foreshadows related concepts in neoplatonism. I would go along with the Stoic meaning of the word logos when it comes to my attempt as a philologist/philosopher to define the root 'Ar of the Armenian language/logos. I believe the 'Ar' was conceived to represent the logos as the active phoneme, the cause pervading and animating the Universe. It was conceived as immaterial and material and it was later identified with God rather than Nature or simply Rta. The Stoics took all activity to imply a logos or a spiritual principle.
I posit that 'Ar' is the grammatical Logogram that represented the first Cause in the Armenian language/logos. As a noun it is a person or thing that acts, happens, or exists in such a way that some specific thing happens as a result, the the producer of an effect. As a transitive verb, as in to compel by command, authority, or a force. A cause can be a person, a god or the animating spirit of nature or the cosmos, a thing, an event, or simply the action or actor that triggers the resulting event or phenomena. A cause usually has several senses as a noun and only one as a verb.

UTU was not only the bringer of light but the arbiter of justice. Orientalist Jeremy Black notes how Utu "represents the brilliant light of the sun which returns every day to illuminate the life of mankind, as well as giving beneficial warmth which causes plants to grow" (182). The light of the sun was thought to be able to penetrate and pierce every level of the earth, even to the underworld, and illuminate the human heart. Utu (Akkadian rendition of Sumerian dUD 𒀭𒌓 "Sun") was later worshipped by East Semitic peoples as Shamash (Akkadian šamaš "Sun" is cognate to Phoenician: 𐤔𐤌𐤔 šmš, Classical Syriac: ܫܡܫܐ šemša, Hebrew: שֶׁמֶשׁ šemeš and Arabic: شمس šams) was the ancient Mesopotamian god of the sun, justice, morality, and truth, and the twin brother of the goddess Inanna, the Queen of Heaven. Enlil was the son of the god of the heavens Anu (also known as An) and, with Anu and Enki (god of wisdom), formed a triad which governed the heavens, earth, and underworld or, alternately, the universe, sky and atmosphere, and earth. After Anu, Enlil was the most powerful of the Mesopotamian gods, keeper of the Tablets of Destiny which contained the fates of gods and humanity, and considered an unstoppable force whose decisions could not be questioned. Nanna is the son of Enlil and Ninlil, and was identified with the Semitic Sīn. The two chief seats of worship were Ur in the south of Mesopotamia and Harran in the north. A moon god by the same name was later worshipped in South Arabia.
Sīn /ˈsiːn/ or Suen (Akkadian: 𒂗𒍪 EN.ZU, pronounced Su'en, Sen, Sîn),[1], and in Aramaic syn, syn’, or even shr 'moon'[2], or the Sumerian pendant Nannar (Sumerian: 𒀭𒋀𒆠 DŠEŠ.KI, DNANNAR) was the god of the moon and planet[3] in the Mesopotamian religions of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, Babylonia and Aram, and was worshipped into the Islamic period in Harran,[4] still represented as crescent in many Islamic flags of states.
The Semitic moon god Su'en/Sin is in origin a separate deity from Sumerian Nanna, but from the Akkadian Empire period the two undergo syncretization and are identified. The occasional Assyrian spelling of DNANNA-ar DSu'en-e is due to association with Akkadian na-an-na-ru "illuminator, lamp", an epitheton of the moon god. The name of the Assyrian moon god Su'en/Sîn is usually spelled as DEN.ZU, or simply with the numeral 30, (cuneiform: 𒀭𒌍 DXXX).[5]
So if Anu was the heavenly chairman of the board, Enlil was the heavenly corporation's CEO, or chief executive officer. His cosmic headquarters were based at Nippur. His executive assistant was his son Nuska. Enlil/Ellil was a family man, married to Ninlil (also called Sud), and with her he raised a brood that included - among others - the moon-god Nanna/Sin, the sun-god Utu-Shamash, the weather god Ishkur/Adad, and the love-goddess Inanna/Ishtar.
The development and system of administration led to the development of archaic tablets[4] around 3500 BCE[5]-3200 BCE[6] and ideographic writing (c. 3100 BCE) was developed into logographic writing around 2500 BCE (and a mixed form by about 2350 BCE).[7]
The earliest listed ruler whose historicity has been archaeologically verified is Enmebaragesi of Kish, c. 2600 BCE. Lagash in particular is known directly from archaeological artifacts dating from c. 2500 BCE. Kubaba (in the Weidner or Esagila Chronicle),[1] Sumerian: 𒆬𒀭𒁀𒌑, kug-Dba-u₂, is the only queen on the Sumerian King List, which states she reigned for 100 years – roughly in the Early Dynastic III period (ca. 2500–2330 BC) of Sumerian history. Kubaba is one of very few women to have ever ruled in their own right in Mesopotamian history. Most versions of the king list place her alone in her own dynasty, the 3rd Dynasty of Kish, following the defeat of Sharrumiter of Mari, but other versions combine her with the 4th dynasty, that followed the primacy of the king of Akshak. Before becoming monarch, the king list says she was an alewife. Akshak first appears in records of ca. 2500 BC.
In the Sumerian text Dumuzid's dream, Dumuzid king of Uruk is said to have been toppled from his opulence by a hungry mob composed of men from the major cities of Sumer, including Akshak. Another king of Uruk, Enshakushanna, is recorded as having plundered Akshak. Following this, Akshak was at war with Lagash, and was captured by Eannatum, who claims in one inscription to have smitten its king, Zuzu. The Sumerian king list mentions Unzi, Undalulu, Urur, Puzur-Nirah, Ishu-Il and Shu-Sin as kings of Akshak. Puzur-Nirah is also mentioned in the Weidner Chronicle as reigning in Akshak when a female tavern-keeper, Kug-bau of Kish, was appointed overlordship over Sumer. Akshak was also mentioned in tablets found at Ebla.[4] In ca. 2350 BC, Akshak fell into the hands of Lugalzagesi of Umma. The Akkadian king Shar-Kali-Sharri reports defeating the Elamites in a battle at Akshak.
A brief account of the rise of "the house of Kubaba" occurring in the reign of Puzur-Nirah of Akshak:
"In the reign of Puzur-Nirah, king of Akšak, the freshwater fishermen of Esagila were catching fish for the meal of the great lord Marduk; the officers of the king took away the fish. The fisherman was fishing when 7 (or 8) days had passed [...] in the house of Kubaba, the tavern-keeper [...] they brought to Esagila. At that time BROKEN[4] anew for Esagila [...] Kubaba gave bread to the fisherman and gave water, she made him offer the fish to Esagila. Marduk, the king, the prince of the Apsû, favored her and said: "Let it be so!" He entrusted to Kubaba, the tavern-keeper, sovereignty over the whole world."

Her son Puzur-Suen and grandson Ur-Zababa followed her on the throne of Sumer as the fourth Kish dynasty on the king list, in some copies as her direct successors, in others with the Akshak dynasty intervening. Ur-Zababa is also known as the king said to be reigning in Sumer during the youth of Sargon the Great of Akkad, who militarily brought much of the Near East under his control shortly afterward.

Ziusudra (Old Babylonian: 𒍣𒌓𒋤𒁺 zi-ud-su₃-ra₂, Neo-Assyrian: 𒍣𒋤𒁕 zi-sud-da,[1] Greek: Ξίσουθρος, translit. Xísouthros) of Shuruppak (c. 2900 BC) is listed in the WB-62 Sumerian king list recension as the last king of Sumer prior to the Great Flood. He is subsequently recorded as the hero of the Sumerian creation myth and appears in the writings of Berossus as Xisuthros.[citation needed]

Ziusudra is one of several mythic characters who are protagonists of Near Eastern flood myths, including Atrahasis, Utnapishtim and the biblical Noah. Although each story displays its own distinctive features, many key story elements are common to two, three, or all four versions.

LOGOGRAM: In a written language, a logogram or logograph is a written character that represents a word or morpheme. Chinese characters (pronounced hanzi in Mandarin, kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean and Hán tự in Vietnamese) are generally logograms, as are many hieroglyphic and cuneiform characters.

The use of logograms in writing is called logography, and a writing system that is based on logograms is called a logography or logographic system. All known logographies have some phonetic component, generally based on the rebus principle.

In linguistics, the rebus principle is the use of existing symbols, such as pictograms, purely for their sounds regardless of their meaning, to represent new words. Many ancient writing systems used the rebus principle to represent abstract words, which otherwise would be hard to represent with pictograms. An example that illustrates the Rebus principle is the representation of the sentence "I can see you" by using the pictographs of "eye—can—sea—ewe".

Some linguists believe that the Chinese developed their writing system according to the rebus principle,[9] and Egyptian hieroglyphs sometimes used a similar system. A famous rebus statue of Ramses II uses three hieroglyphs to compose his name: Horus (as Ra), for Ra; the child, mes; and the sedge plant (stalk held in left hand), su; the name Ra-mes-su is then formed.[10]

Freud[11] posited that the rebus was the basis for uncovering the latent content of the dream. He wrote, "A dream is a picture puzzle of this sort and our predecessors in the field of dream interpretation have made the mistake of treating the rebus as a pictorial composition: and as such it has seemed to them nonsensical and worthless."


Alphabets and syllabaries are distinct from logographies in that they use individual written characters to represent sounds directly. Such characters are called phonograms in linguistics. Unlike logograms, phonograms do not have any inherent meaning. Writing language in this way is called phonemic writing or orthographic writing.

The term rebus also refers to the use of a pictogram to represent a syllabic sound. This adapts pictograms into phonograms. A precursor to the development of the alphabet, this process represents one of the most important developments of writing. Fully developed hieroglyphs read in rebus fashion were in use at Abydos in Egypt as early as 3400 BCE.[5] In Mesopotamia, the principle was first employed on proto-cuneiform tablets, beginning in the Jemdet Nasr period (c. 3100–2900 BC).

The writing of correspondence in rebus form became popular in the 18th century and continued into the 19th century. Lewis Carroll wrote the children he befriended picture-puzzle rebus letters, nonsense letters, and looking-glass letters, which had to be held in front of a mirror to be read.[8] Rebus letters served either as a sort of code or simply as a pastime.

A modern example of the rebus used as a form of word play is:H + = Hear, or Here.


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 [1] . In the time when there was no writing, hierograms were the identification marks for sacred objects, representations or places.
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.
The cord symbolizes lifetime unity or the everlasting union of the bride and groom when they officially become husband and wife, as well as a symbol of marital protection; while the loops formed signifies their love for one another.

PARS: Darius the Great (521-486 BC) establishes this fact when he records his Parsi ancestry for posterity, “parsa parsahya puthra ariya ariyachitra”, meaning, “a Parsi, the son of a Parsi, an Aryan, of Aryan family (Inscription at Naqsh-i-Rustam, near Persepolis, Iran) Did Zarathustra come from a Mithraic foundation?



The pre-Islamic religion of the Nuristani people and extant religion of the Kalash people, is mostly based on the original religion of the Indo-Iranians, some of which are shared with Shinto, one of the national religions of Japan, which has some Indo-Iranian influence owing to contact presumably in the steppes of Central Asia at around 2000 BCE. In Shinto, traces of these can be seen in the myth of the storm god Susanoo slaying a serpent Yamata-no-Orochi and in the myth of the dawn goddess Ame-no-Uzume.[25][26][27]

A person should always be vigilant to align with forces of light.

There is darkness and there is light, there is good and there is evil, there is life and there is death, and my role as a human being in these unfolding rhythmic cosmic events is to pray three times a day to God in any language and say....In the name of the living Great spirit, in the name of the One and the Only One that is the phenomenon of pure light who gives me my soul, gives me health, gives me peace of mind and peace of heart and forgiveness all my sins with the force of an exploding light.

Ha (Cuneiform) Ha is used as a syllabic for ha, and an alphabetic for h, or a; from the Epic of Gilgamesh it also has two sumerogramic uses (capital letter (majuscule)), for HA (Akkadian language zittu, for "share"), and KU6, for nūnu, "fish". In Greek mythology, the two fish is symbolical of Aphrodite and her son Eros when they escaped Typhon. In Chinese culture, the fish or goldfish refers to abundance, fidelity, and unity. In Christian belief, the fish is symbolical of faith and abundance as shown in the Biblical story of the fish and loaves of bread. In Paganism, the fish is viewed as a symbol of fertility and femininity. In Celtic symbol, the fish signifies wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration. In Eastern Indian culture, the fish symbolizes creation and transformation.

Sun worship, veneration of the sun or a representation of the sun as a deity, as in Atonism in Egypt in the 14th century BCE.

Although sun worship has been used frequently as a term for “pagan” religion, it is, in fact, relatively rare. Though almost every culture uses solar motifs, only a relatively few cultures (Egyptian, Indo-European, and Meso-American) developed solar religions. All of these groups had in common a well-developed urban civilization with a strong ideology of sacred kingship. In all of them the imagery of the sun as the ruler of both the upper and the lower worlds that he majestically visits on his daily round is prominent.

The sun is the bestower of light and life to the totality of the cosmos; with his unblinking, all-seeing eye, he is the stern guarantor of justice; with the almost universal connection of light with enlightenment or illumination, the sun is the source of wisdom.

These qualities—sovereignty, power of beneficence, justice, and wisdom—are central to any elite religious group, and it is within these contexts that a highly developed solar ideology is found. Kings ruled by the power of the sun and claimed descent from the sun. Solar deities, gods personifying the sun, are sovereign and all-seeing. The sun is often a prime attribute of or is identified with the Supreme Deity.

In ancient Egypt the sun god Re was the dominant figure among the high gods and retained this position from early in that civilization’s history. In the myth relating the voyage of the sun god over the heavenly ocean, the sun sets out as the young god Kheper; appears at noon in the zenith as the full-grown sun, Re; and arrives in the evening at the western region in the shape of the old sun god, Atum. When the pharaoh Ikhnaton reformed Egyptian religion, he took up the cult of the ancient deity Re-Horakhte under the name of Aton, an older designation of the Sun’s disk. Under Akhenaton, the sun’s qualities as creator and nourisher of the Earth and its inhabitants are glorified.

The sun god occupied a central position in both Sumerian and Akkadian religion, but neither the Sumerian Utu nor the Semitic Shamash was included among the three highest gods of the pantheon. The sun was one of the most popular deities, however, among the Indo-European peoples and was a symbol of divine power to them. Surya is glorified in the Vedas of ancient India as an all-seeing god who observes both good and evil actions. He expels not only darkness but also evil dreams and diseases. Sun heroes and sun kings also occupy a central position in Indian mythology, where Vivasvant, the father of Yama, corresponds to the Iranian Vivahvant, the father of Yima. There is a dynasty of sun kings, characteristically peaceful, that is quite distinct from the warlike moon kings. In medieval Iran, sun festivals were celebrated as a heritage from pre-Islamic times. The Indo-European character of sun worship is also seen in the conception of the solar deity, drawn in his carriage, generally by four white horses, common to many Indo-European peoples, and recurring in Indo-Iranian, Greco-Roman, and Scandinavian mythology.

During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in importance and ultimately led to what has been called a “solar monotheism.” Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of solar qualities, and both Christ and Mithra acquired the traits of solar deities. The feast of Sol Invictus (Unconquered Sun) on December 25 was celebrated with great joy, and eventually this date was taken over by the Christians as Christmas, the birthday of Christ.
