Worldwide Rewrites History,

Reveals Lost Golden Age

A new discovery (that I made many years ago, and thats
been officially published in my recent book Written In
Stone) challengesif not rewritesancient history by
showing how the worlds first cultures mysteriously
shared the same religious icon. From the Egyptians to the
Assyrians, the pre-Incas to the Europeans, the icon is
ubiquitous. Is it the lost symbol of a forgotten Golden Age
religion that flourished globally in the remote past? How
can it not be?

The same icon etched in stone atop temple doors on

opposite sides of the world.
Left: Gate of the Sun in Tiahuanaco, Bolivia. Right:
Temple of Hadrian in Ephesus, Turkey.
For several decades, mainstream scholars have insisted
that the worlds first civilizations arose separately and
independently.
But an amazing new find now casts serious doubt on their
theory.
It shows how ancient cultures worldwidecultures that

scholars insist evolved independentlyactually followed

the same global spiritual system or Universal Religion,
the central icon of which has now been found to be
common amid their ruins.

The Icon Found In Ruins

Worldwide
The religious icon is shown in the photos below.
Note the parallel pose:

most ancient culturesan astonishing parallel

undiscovered and undocumented by academia!

With both arms outstretched in opposite directions (right
and left) a single god or goddess holds twin objects in
each hand, symmetrically.
These objects are usually animals, often serpents, but
sometimes vegetation or magical staffs. The artwork is
almost always perfectly symmetrical, just like the icons
pose.
If ancient cultures evolved separately, as scholars tell
us, then how is this same religious icon present
worldwide?
This stunning new discovery challenges mainstream
academic history.
It strongly suggests ancient cultures did not evolve
separately, as scholars tell us; on the contrary, ancient
cultures worldwide were united in their spiritual
beliefs, most probably the result of a shared cultural
heritage stemming from the prehistoric era.
But united how? A shared cultural heritage how?
Did a Golden Age of humanity once exist in our
remote past, as the Greeks, Hindus and others claimed?
a kind of Tower of Babel era, when the world was
one speech and one tongue?
Was this icon, along with the spiritual wisdom it signifies,
inherited from this Golden Age?

Religion, see SEE MY TRIPTYCH DISCOVERY

Lord Of The Animals &

Staff God Titles
Interestingly, the icon has been partially recognized by
scholars of Old World cultures and New World cultures
alike.

OLD WORLD
Among scholars of Old World cultures the icon is called:

Lord of the Animals

Master of Animals

Mistress of Beasts

Mistress of the Animals

Mistress of Wild Animals

Potnia Theron

The Lord of the Animals (also known as Master of

Animals) is a generic term for a number of deities from a
variety of culturesThey sometimes also have female
equivalents, the so-called Mistress of the Animals. The
implication being these all have a Stone Age
precursor
Wikipedia

NEW WORLD
Among scholars of New World cultures the icon is called:

Staff God

The Staff God is a major deity in Andean cultures.

Usually pictured holding a staff in each handhis other
characteristics are unknown, although he is often
pictured with snakes in his headdress or clothes. The
oldest known depiction of the Staff God was found on
some broken gourd fragments in a burial site in the
Pativilca River Valleyand carbon dated to 2250 BC.
This makes it the oldest image of a god to be found in the
Americas.

Despite recognizing the icon in their respective

disciplines, Old World scholars and New World scholars
have:
(a) failed to recognize the icons presence worldwide
(b) failed to understand the ubiquitous meaning the icon
holds worldwide
(c) failed to connect (a) and (b) and thus remain unaware
that THE ICON IS THE CHIEF SYMBOL OF A LOST
ANCIENT UNIVERSAL RELIGION once known
worldwide
Just as the simple crucifix conveys a complete
metaphysical doctrine expressing complex themes like
sacrifice, life, death, and resurrection, likewise
this Lord of the Animals / Staff God icon encodes a single
multifaceted metaphysical doctrine or Universal Religion.

This religion relates eternal spiritual and perennial truths

regarding who we are, where we came from, why were
here, and where were going, as well see in a moment.
For a more penetrating explanation, read my new
book Written In Stone (an entire chapter is devoted to
this amazing new archaeological discovery).

For now, lets look at how the icon mysteriously appears

in an array of esoteric and alchemical manuscripts
published and quietly circulated during the past several
centuries.
space

The Icon In Esoteric &

Alchemical Manuscripts
Many of these manuscripts were published during the
European Renaissance.
See below. The creators of these manuscripts certainly
understood the icons historical significancebut exactly
how is unclear.
It is clear, however, that they were trying to preserve the
icons ancient meaning for posterity.
Note how the icon is always depicted holding twin
objects, following the ancient archetype.
These twin objects are very often associated with the sun

(right hand) and moon (left hand).

This is a major clue that all but reveals the icons ancient
universal meaning:

The icon holding twin objects associated with sun (right

hand)
and moon (left hand). From a mysterious alchemical
treatise
titled The Hermetic and Alchemical Figures of
Claudius de
Dominico Celentano Vallis Novi From A Manuscript
Written
And Illuminated At Naples A.D. 1606

The alchemical Mercury, from Tripus aureus (The

Golden Tripod)
by Michael Maier, c. 1618. As Mercurius he presides
over the
alchemical opus, integrating the principles of sun and
moon.

From a 16th-century alchemical treatise called The

Rosary of the Philosophers
(Rosarium philosophorum sive pretiosissimum donum
Dei). Sun associated
with the right hand, moon with the left hand.

Esoteric design. Origin unknown. Sun in the right

hand, moon in the left hand.

Christian Androgynes (Alchemical), 17th & 18th

centuries.
Here, the icon has two heads, one male, one female.
Sun in the right hand, moon in the left hand.

An old Hermetic Rebis symbol, from the Materia

Prima of Valentinus,
printed at Frankfurt, 1613. Sun (and Masonic compass)
in the right hand,
Moon (and Masonic square) in the left hand. The icon
has two heads.
Male right, female left.

This last depiction is interesting.

Called Rebis, this mythological figure has been
featured in alchemical texts during the past few centuries.
The Rebis right hand is associated with the sun and left
hand with the moon.
The Rebis additionally holds a compass tool in the
solar (right) hand balanced by a square tool in the
lunar (left) hand.
This is important.
When combined, the compass and square form
Freemasonrys chief symbol:

The solar compass is held in the right hand and the

lunar
square in the left hand. Together the compass and
square

form the supreme symbol of Freemasonry.

The compass, since it draws a circle or spiritual symbol,
denotes our spiritual nature, as humans.
Likewise, the square, since it draws a square or material
symbol, denotes our material nature.
Holding the compass and square is thus a reminder that
when we are man we are not just material (body) we are
spiritual (soul) too; we are part human, part divine.
The eternal spiritual (soul) part of us reflects solar
qualitiesright, yang, masculine, give, light, eternal,
hot.
The temporary material (body) part of us reflects
lunar qualitiesleft, yin, feminine, receive, dark,
temporary, cold.
Think about this for a moment.
We know we are human, of course. We see this in the
mirror each day. But divine too? Are we really divine,
eternal, immortalas well as human, temporary, mortal?
The answer is yes.
Man is a combination of human (moon) and divine (sun).
The six-pointed star symbol directly above the head of
the Rebis is a symbol of the integration of these opposing
forces (sun and moon) and their balance in the Rebis.
And THIS is the message of the Rebis!!!
Its an instruction that teaches us to integrate our own
opposing forces in order to transcend the body and
discover the divine eternal Self within/above.
The Rebis is a revelation and an affirmation of our own
divinity and eternitysame as Masonrys chief symbol:

Freemasonrys logo, the Compass and Square, is a sign

of the
union of your (temporary physical) body and (eternal
spiritual)
soul, both of which constitute you while you are human.
Did you know you were eternal and spiritual?
There is one sign which has never changed its meaning
anywhere in the civilized worldthe Compass and the
Square. A sign of the union of the body and soul.
Deman Wagstaff, Wagstaffs Standard Masonry (1922)
the compasses stand forthe spiritual side of man,
while the square appertains to the material
J. S. Ward, Interpretation of Our Masonic Symbols
The Rebis is a symbol of the higher spiritual Self, the
god Self, within each one of us, insofar as it is a
revelation to us concerning our eternal divine nature.
This eternal divine nature is not readily apparent given
the limitation of our five senses (see, touch, hear, taste,
smell).
Hence, the message of the Rebis is a message that we
need to hear because its an explanation of who we really
are inside.
Every man is a divinity in disguise

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For this reason, the Rebis is the Philosophers Stone, the
Gold of Alchemy, the pearl inside the Oyster, and so on;
the Rebis is all the hidden gems of all the lost sacred
sciences and secret societies.
It reveals who you really are. But it also reveals
something more: How to get there. How to find your true
Self.
In Part II, we will examine how this god Self idea was
known throughout the ancient world, symbolized by the
icon; its wisdom forming a Universal Religion shared
globally.
We also will take a closer look at how the icons modern
esoteric manifestation in the form of the Rebis
symbolizes the same idea the God Self, the higher You.
We will also see evidence from Egypt, Iran and Peru.
Meanwhile, to learn more about this startling and
fascinating new discovery, and to gain a much deeper
understanding of the god Self icon, read my new book,
