We also found the “bull” design on Phoenician seals – unfortunately, they are part of private collections and/or museum collections and they do not mention where they are found = which Phoenician City-State. These examples are there to show anons that the Bull design might also have existed in other City-States other than Gebal. Of course this was not the only design for seals and other artifacts out there, but it’s also not a rare one. It’s just one of the several designs found in Phoenicia. What’s interesting in these seals and in the “Bull” design in Phoenician in general is that the Bull (despite being linked to the Ancient Egyptian god Apis) is depicted in his full animal form and not in a humanoid form; nor in a form of a human with bull horns crown. And it’s found in GEBAL near the Temple of Baalat of Gebal, mostly. The location where these Bull artifacts were found is important and it’s what adds to the rest of the evidences connecting us to Neith/Isis/Hathor

The “letters” of Tell al-Amarna from Ancient Egypt are there also to attest the close and good relationship between Phoenicia in general, but Gebal specifically with Ancient Egypt. Just look how they don’t say Gebal is a Phoenician City-State – enjoy the read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarna_letter_EA_362

See how the inscriptions are translated and codified. This is what the old man spent decades digging in – a pain in the rear, but it’s necessary. This is the type of archives I mean when I say I dug up in the ancient archives. See why I’m so critical of “supposed” inscription evidence of the Phoenicians sacrificing children? When the text is authentic = really there, it’s translated and codified and you can easily find it online or in big libraries in huge volumes containing the whole set. There is no such thing as a mysterious, obscure, blurry inscription with no name, no place of discovery and no codification. When you read a text telling you there is an inscription proving the Phoenicians sacrificed human children, then always ask for the code or where it’s printed so you can check it out as I just did with the Amarna letter showing the close ties between Gebal and Ancient Egypt.

The presence of the huge influence of Ancient Egyptian art is attested in loads of artifacts found the necropolis of Gebal. Like the jewelry I’m putting the pictures of, found in the tomb of king Abi Shemu of Gebal, dating back to 1800-1700 B.C. the artistic influence of Ancient Egypt doesn’t stop there, the Ancient Egyptian artistic influence also expands geographically to other Phoenician City-States like Sidon and Tyre. It doesn’t stop on geography, but it also stretches out in chronology as the presence of Eshmun-azor II sarcophagus (6th century B.C.) is evidence of how long the Ancient Egyptian artistic influence remained in Phoenicia. I think this is a very natural thing to happen because of 2 factors: 1 – Neith’s connection to Phoenicia – 2 – the Phoenicians were traders.

I have more artifacts and monuments which I will be bringing gradually as I progress in this part and it’s all linked to what I’m talking about here.

All of this is pointing very clearly, for me, to the presence of the Lamassu clan warriors in Phoenicia, Neith specifically because of her cult in Gebal. In Ancient Egypt we had a very close relationship between Horus, Isis and Hathor and we know all 3 were winged from the iconography there. We also know they used the Wedjat = electricity in their weapons = Hathor horns and the Sharur = staff weapon mostly used by the ThunderBirds a.k.a. Horus.

In the Phoenican Pantheon, we have a Thunder deity called Hadad associated to the Bull; or should I say has the bull as his symbol. This indicates the close ties between the thunder god and the Bull image which doesn’t surprise me one bit since it’s as close as what the situation is in Ancient Egypt between Horus, Isis and Hathor. So let’s take a look at Hadad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadad

“Hadad (Ugaritic: Haddu), Adad, Haddad (Akkadian IM) or Iškur (Sumerian) was the storm and rain god in the Canaanite and ancient Mesopotamian religions. He was attested in Ebla as "Hadda" in c. 2500 BCE. From the Levant, Hadad was introduced to Mesopotamia by the Amorites, where he became known as the Akkadian (Assyrian-Babylonian) god Adad. Adad and Iškur are usually written with the logogram IM—the same symbol used for the Hurrian god Teshub. Hadad was also called Pidar, Rapiu, Baal-Zephon, or often simply Baʿal (Lord), but this title was also used for other gods. The bull was the symbolic animal of Hadad. He appeared bearded, often holding a club and thunderbolt while wearing a bull-horned headdress. Hadad was equated with the Greek god Zeus; the Roman god Jupiter, as Jupiter Dolichenus; the Hittite storm-god Teshub; the Egyptian god Set.”

>> Zeus and Jupiter are mutated forms. I see no common points between Hadad and Seth. I don’t understand how they managed to link them both in this Wikipedia page while they have nothing in common. Seth represented the desert = none fertile lands, while Hadad represent rain = brings fertility to the land, same as Horus. They are actually on opposite sides.

So to make it short, Lord Hadad had a bull as his symbol and he used wear a horned headdress. He used to wield a club and thunderbolts. Does he sound like a Lamassu clan warrior or a ThunderBird? Maybe a merger of both? I’ve found this picture of Hadad from the web, it’s supposedly, him, but I’m not sure if it’s correct simply because we don’t have much iconography about him.

“The Baal Cycle, also known as the Epic of Baal, is a collection of stories about the god Baal from the Canaanite area who is also referred to as Hadad, the storm-god. This collection of stories is dated between 1400 and 1200 B.C. and was found in Ugarit, an ancient city located in modern-day Syria.”

“Adad in Akkad and Sumer

In Akkadian, Adad is also known as Rammanu ("Thunderer") cognate with Aramaic: רעמא‎ Raˁmā and Hebrew: רַעַם‎ Raˁam, which was a byname of Hadad. Rammanu was formerly incorrectly taken by many scholars to be an independent Akkadian god later identified with Hadad.

Though originating in northern Mesopotamia, Adad was identified by the same Sumerogram IM that designated Iškur in the south. His worship became widespread in Mesopotamia after the First Babylonian dynasty. A text dating from the reign of Ur-Ninurta characterizes Adad/Iškur as both threatening in his stormy rage and generally life-giving and benevolent.

The form Iškur appears in the list of gods found at Shuruppak but was of far less importance, probably partly because storms and rain were scarce in Sumer and agriculture there depended on irrigation instead. The gods Enlil and Ninurta also had storm god features that decreased Iškur's distinctiveness. He sometimes appears as the assistant or companion of one or the other of the two.

When Enki distributed the destinies, he made Iškur inspector of the cosmos. In one litany, Iškur is proclaimed again and again as "great radiant bull, your name is heaven" and also called son of Anu, lord of Karkara; twin-brother of Enki, lord of abundance, lord who rides the storm, lion of heaven.”

>> Look what Hadad was called in Mesopotamia = “Lord who rides the storm” – it’s very close to what we read about the Native American ThunderBirds, isn’t it? And “Lion of Heaven” = is this a confirmation the Lion = Feline is the heraldic symbol of the King of kings = throne of Atlantis and of Atlantis itself?

“In other texts Adad/Iškur is sometimes son of the moon god Nanna/Sin by Ningal and brother of Utu/Shamash and Inanna/Ishtar. Iškur is also sometimes described as the son of Enlil.”

>> Here is a good example how things got mixed up back then.

“The bull was portrayed as Adad/Iškur's sacred animal starting in the Old Babylonian period (the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE).

[…]”

>> This is a rather late association.

“[…] In Assyria, Adad was developed along with his warrior aspect. During the Middle Assyrian Empire, from the reign of Tiglath-Pileser I (1115–1077 BCE), Adad had a double sanctuary in Assur which he shared with Anu. Anu is often associated with Adad in invocations. The name Adad and various alternate forms and bynames (Dadu, Bir, Dadda) are often found in the names of the Assyrian kings.”

>> This is rather interesting: Anu and Adad shared a temple and were associated in invocations. This shows a close relationship between them.

“Adad/Iškur presents two aspects in the hymns, incantations, and votive inscriptions. On the one hand he is the god who, through bringing on the rain in due season, causes the land to become fertile, and, on the other hand, the storms that he sends out bring havoc and destruction. He is pictured on monuments and cylinder seals (sometimes with a horned helmet) with the lightning and the thunderbolt (sometimes in the form of a spear), and in the hymns the sombre aspects of the god on the whole predominate. His association with the sun-god, Shamash, due to the natural combination of the two deities who alternate in the control of nature, leads to imbuing him with some of the traits belonging to a solar deity.

[…]”

>> Everything in this paragraph fits very well about Hadad being a ThunderBird, doesn’t it? The ThunderBirds are fearsome and they also bring rain = fertility, since they can control the weather. And I’m not surprised at all to read there is some sort of association between Hadad and Shamash because of the Light. Remember there are 2 Suns: a Major Sun = King of kings; and a lesser sun = the Evil One. When the King of kings was killed, this makes the Crown Prince, also born with the Light in him the new King of kings, which makes him after his Father’s death the new Great Sun.

“Shamash and Adad became in combination the gods of oracles and of divination in general. Whether the will of the gods is determined through the inspection of the liver of the sacrificial animal, through observing the action of oil bubbles in a basin of water or through the observation of the movements of the heavenly bodies, it is Shamash and Adad who, in the ritual connected with divination, are invariably invoked. Similarly in the annals and votive inscriptions of the kings, when oracles are referred to, Shamash and Adad are always named as the gods addressed, and their ordinary designation in such instances is bele biri ("lords of divination").”

>> I’m not surprised to hear this as well. Since Hadad is already associated with the Bull = Lamassu and we already know Neith had the power of divination; she was the top one, the head. I’m also not surprised the thunder god here has divination powers because the Crown Prince is the son of the Royal Couple = he might have taken this ability from his mother. It’s a possibility.

Another possibility is that Hadad is not a ThunderBird warrior but a Lamassu warrior which was wielding a Sharur staff weapon and had the power of divination. And there is a third possibility Hadad might be a merger of the image and characteristics of the 2 clans = Lamassu and ThunderBirds to make them become ONE person, instead of the initial 2 they were at origin. The ties are the same as the ties between Hathor/Isis and Horus from Ancient Egypt.
