Top of the morning to y’all.
Digging on the temples dedicated to Baal in Syria.
There are many it seems.
The Jews also turned against God to worship Baal and the bible states they would do again.
TEMPLE OF BAAL SHAMIN (PALMYRA)
Closely resembles Epstein’s temple.

Community of Baal worshipers with Jewish names in Syria —
Article excerpt —
To my great surprise, all of the villagers had Jewish names, and one of the elders claimed that they were “the true remnant of Israel, the only Jews who have remained faithful to our polytheist origins.”
Another villager—an old woman called “Mother Aqra”—informed me that the Hebrews had originally worshipped many gods, including Baal, Anat, Dagon, and Asherah. Then, around three thousand years ago, a tiny sect emerged that proclaimed Yahweh to be the only god—not just the most powerful god, but the only one.
This was not an entirely new idea, of course; the Pharaoh Akhenaton had said the same thing about Ra, the sun god, a couple of centuries before. But Akhenaton’s innovation died with him, while the Yahweh-only movement would go on to conquer the world.

Archeologists Unearth 'Golden Calf' in Israel
NEW YORK TIMES JULY 25, 1990
Article excerpt—
The tiny image of bronze and other metals was recovered almost intact, with legs, ears, tail and one of its two horns still in place, even though the temple in which it was housed was reduced to rubble during a conquest of Ashkelon in about 1550 B.C., midway through the Bronze Age.
The earliest legends of Judaism show the religion's fathers inveighing against the worship of golden calves.
In the Bible, golden calves, similar in form but considerably larger than the Ashkelon find, are referred to in the story of Aaron during the Exodus, in ancient Jerusalem's rivalry with the northern, calf-worshiping Hebrew king, Jeroboam, and in other Old Testament accounts.
By Dr. Stager's interpretation, this and other accounts of condemnation of the worship of calf-deities were born of the early Israelites' efforts to purge the Canaanite influence of their forebears and establish themselves as a separate people.
Historians and archeologists believe it was not the animal itself that was the object of worship. Canaanites believed that their pagan Gods rode on these strong and sacred beasts. So the temples showed the calves as representations of the deities, and worshipers made sacrifical offerings to the animals.

Q
??
Will go and get them. They’re in the drone vids.
Nice find with the goat at the sundial, good connection.
From the same article >>22870 ——-
The animal is filled with a heavy metal, believed to be lead, and was found lying on its side next to a shattered pottery shrine in which it was mounted while in use.
The pottery vessel had an opening with doors. We believe it was displayed looking out, emerging from this cowshed, which was a shrine to the milk goddess, Dr. Stager said of the calf.

Thanks fellow baker, I’ll fix.
Noted
The cow/bull/calf on Epstein’s island.
The drone certainly took a good look at it, likewise the (cow?) shed/structure situated right behind it.
The cow/bull appears to have horns.
Noting the blue and white waves beside it, and the 2 Phoenix/owls. Were these the birds which used to be on top of the temple?
