Symbols that Reveal Mysteries of Religion: DINGIR, AN, SUN and CROSS

The fault, Brutus, is not in the stars.  It is in us.– Shakespeare

What you’re looking at in the image above is the evolution of the Mesopotamian cuneiform script, from the earliest pictograph of the proto-writing stage, circa 4500-3500 BCE, where the DINGIR of Sumerian is captured as the 8-tipped star, a cross with an X superimposed onto it.

The word, “sin” means both “star” and “god/goddess.”  As in the Jewish tradition, they believed that the word cannot be pronounced when referring to the name of a specific deity, so it was marked as “d” next to the name of the God, for example, d Innana.

By the formal writing period, the cuneiform symbol is written with only the 4 Winkelhaken marked on the left, and the other 4 lines, ASH, DISH, GE22 and GE23 not capped with a Winkelhaken.  This was to allow for faster ductus (flow of writing).

By the late Babylonian period, the sign looks like a cross.  So when the Babylonians wrote the cross with two Wilkhaken, the symbol meant “god” and “star,” and “heavens.”

The final symbol in the image shows the initial pictograph inspiration, with the so-called “Aryan wheel” – where they probably got the inspiration for the wheel and the wheeled chariot by observing the sun, and the rotation of circular objects that resembled it, which doubles as the inspiration for “Eye of Ra/Eye of Providence.”

And thus, you now know what and who god is.
