Satanic that's for sure.
Aleppo has scarcely been touched by archaeologists, since the modern city occupies its ancient site. The site has been occupied from around 5000 BC, as shown by excavations in Tallet Alsauda.
The Satanic Lion
The lion is used in the Bible as a symbol of authority and power. The symbol is applied to Christ as the Lion of Judah, but it is also the symbol for Babylon, the destroyer of nations and the seat of the apostate religion, which would seek to entice God's people into idolatry. The prophet Jeremiah prophesied about Babylon’s destruction of Jerusalem, using the symbol of a lion for this mighty power:
I will bring disaster from the north,
And great destruction.
The lion has come up from his thicket,
And the destroyer of nations is on his way.
He has gone forth from his place
To make your land desolate.
Your cities will be laid waste,
Without inhabitant (Jeremiah 4:6-7 NKJV).
The religion of Babylon forms the basis of all pagan religions, making Babylon a fitting symbol for the end- time confederacy of religious powers aligned against God and His people. Archaeology has revealed that a lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol in Babylonian designs and sculptures. This Babylonian lion was prophesied to control events at the end of time.
Another biblical reference to the lion is in the Book of Daniel:
“The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.” (Daniel 7:4 NKJV).
The lion of Daniel has eagle's wings, also a reference to Babylon. Moreover, the eagle symbolizes the sun god. When Daniel describes the union of man’s heart with the lion-sun-god, it is in defiance of the true God.
And in Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
Sumerian Cherubim
The Cherubim were originally the ancient protectors of the Mesopotamian Tree of Life. They were often depicted supporting the thrones of deities and kings.They are closely related to (and often identical to) the sphinx.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, they are the four vast, winged creatures described in the visions of Ezekiel, each winged creature bearing four faces: a lion, a bull, eagle, and human head.
The Babylonian "cherubim" (the lamassu or shedu) is a protective spirit with a sphinx-like form, possessing the wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the head of a king.
THE SPHINX is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion.
The Ancient Egyptians believed that the world was created at the time when the Sun rose in Leo near the star Denebola. The Sphinx commemorated the Birth of the Sun when the Sun processed from the sign of Virgo into Leo, around 10,500 B.C. (the Sun/Son born of a Virgin).
The Sphinx faces East at the exact location where the Sun rises on the day of the vernal equinox (21 March). At sunrise on the vernal equinox around 10.500 B.C. the Sun aligned itself with the constellation Leo, its own celestial counterpart image in the sky …
All of the significant stars and constellations along one side of the Milky Way in a 360 degrees view along the Milky Way are represented by some odd 50 pyramids along the Nile (representing the Milky Way on the ground) and include Sirius, Orion, the Pleiades, Andromeda, Pegasus and Canis Major.
With this discovery the ancient writings of Thoth (Hermes Trismegistus) who in the Emerald Tablets wrote …
'Egypt is an image of the heavens … The whole cosmos dwells here' …
The Sphinx-Leo connection becomes undeniable when we view the Giza plateau from above. The angle between the Sphinx and the pyramids of Kufhu and Kahfre is the same angle on the ground as the angle between the Orion belt and the sign of Leo in the sky. While the Sphinx is gazing at the Nile, Leo is gazing at the Milky Way. This is compelling evidence that indeed the Sphinx is symbolic to its counterpart in the sky…
