Saw this image while researching “sacred prostitution” and its relationship to MOABite women. I’d love to see a side by side next to Epstein’s statue. It’s Inanna (sister of Hadad, Ishtar [consort of Ba’al], Isis) with conical ceremonial headdress.

Note: check out the wavy feet. I thought the wavy stripes on HammamYalbouga were similar, though configured differently

Cap under image

Here is a possible reason behind the blue stripes and gold dome on Epstein’s temple.

The Ba’al Cycle, a group of partial documents found on the sacred mountain of Jebel Aqra located near the border of Syria and Turkey, describes the story of Ba’al (Hadad). Long story short, after a battle Ba’al builds a house on the peak of Jebel Aqra. Quote:

Lo, also it is the time of His rain.

Baal sets the season,

And gives forth His voice from the clouds.

He flashes lightning to the earth.

As a house of cedars let Him complete it,

Or a house of bricks let Him erect it!

Let it be told to Aliyan Baal:

'The mountains will bring Thee much silver.

The hills, the choicest of gold;

The mines will bring Thee precious stones,

And build a house of silver and gold.

A house of lapis gems!'

That house of myth became an actual temple, and sacrifices—though not noted as human sacrifices—were done there. So here we have gold and lapis, aka blue. Don’t know what to do with the silver...

Anyhoo, later Christians identified the mountain as a place of demons and built a monestary at the tree line to ward them off.

I did actually notice that, anon. Thought it might be related to storm, but wanted to get the info in the research record before I lost the passage. I’ll look for a better translation of the from the Ba’al Cycle to see what’s up with it.

Here is a translation apparently from BYU. It includes “rain” rather than reign as well. Looking for 3rd source to tie it off.

Looking for legit translations of Ba’al Cycle and this book popped up. Looks like the patterns around Epstein’s temple.

Third source confirms “rain” NOT “reign”. Seems like this translation is most thorough. Surprising how few sources I can find for a translation of the text.

YES!! I saw a line or two about the direction of north relating to the mountain and almost alerted compass fags. Now I’ll need to find that source for you. Busy now irl. Back later

HERE IT IS COMPASSFAGS

Ba’al (aka Ba’al Zaphon) built his silver, gold, and blue house on Mount Jebel Aqraa , which is also known as Mount Zaphon. It is the highest mountain in Syria and is noted in the Bible as being the distant North. Ba’al Zaphon is also mistakenly known as The Lord of the North as Zaphon signifies north in Hebrew.
