An Introduction to The Babylonian Map of the World–the Oldest Known Map of the World

from #IanWood
#SUMER civilisation started around 3700 B.C., exactly when #ANTARES crossed the celestial equator from south to north declination...moving from unconscious to conscious manifestation
..so i searched for a connection between SUMER and ANTARES
In Sumerian tradition Antares was not only seen as GABA.GIR.TAB, the breast of the scorpion but also as a deity called Lisi. The star was originally representing a goddess who was later redefined as a male god. Lisi was closely related to fire and the brazier, the cuneiform name was written with the signs for brazier and red. The male god’s name bears epithets like ‘he who burns with fire’ and ‘he who burns an offering’. It is also very interesting that the name Lisi was used as a generic title for ‘lamenting goddesses’ (compare Gavin White, Babylonian Star-lore).
clearly some special awareness of this, then east rising red star

Inanna

I finally finished a new digital painting, and has gone back to some of my favourite motives from pre-Abrahamic mythology. Inanna, later in the Babylonian epoch known as Ishtar, was an ancient Mesopotamian goddess associated with love, beauty, sex, war, justice, and political power. Her symbol was the eight-pointed star as can be seen on the top of the wand in her left hand.

As my old Disapora pod which hosted this free culture project got closed I am posting my art here. You can see it using the #katharsisdrill tag.
