Cross

Ignatius Donnelly

The God Odi, Woden, or Wotan

There is a river there called the Kaoma, running into the lake, the sides of which are similar in precipitousness to the rocks before us.' I then asked, 'Do the people cross this river in boats?' 'No; they have no boats; and even if they had, the people could not land, as the sides are too steep: they pass underneath the river by a natural tunnel, or subway.' He and all his party went through it on their way from Loowemba to Ooroongoo, and returned by it.

The Bronze Age in Europe

The second knife represented above has upon its handle a wheel, or cross surrounded by a ring, which, we shall see here after, was pre-eminently the symbol of Atlantis.

The Origin of Our Alphabet

Now, if we turn to the ancient hieroglyphics upon the monuments of Central America, we will find the human face appearing in a great many of them, as in the following, which we copy from the Tablet of the Cross at Palenque.

And we find that in the whole inscription of the Tablet of the Cross there are 33 figures out of 108 that are made up in part of the human countenance.

It is the cross composed of two curved lines, thus, .

[paragraph continues]Maya sign the cross is united at the bottom, like a figure 8.

Now suppose a busy people compelled to make this mark every day for a thousand years, and generally in a hurry, and the cross would soon be made without curving the lines; it would become X.

In time the curved line would be made straight, and the figure would assume this form, ; the next step would be to make the cross on the straight line, thus, .

Ignatius Donnelly

Genesis contains a history of Atlantis

Nay, it should teach us to regard the Book of Genesis with increased veneration, as a relic dating from the most ancient days of man's history on earth; its roots cross the great ocean; every line is valuable; a word, a letter, an accent may throw light upon the gravest problems of the birth of civilization.

and Saturn; and, in turn, it may be supposed that the wheel of Kronos was simply the cross of Atlantis, surrounded by its encircling ring.

called pachisi, is played upon a cross-shaped board or cloth; it is a combination of checkers and draughts, with the throwing of dice, the dice determining the number of moves; when the Spaniards entered Mexico they found the Aztecs playing a game called patolli, identical with the Hindoo pachisi, on a similar cross-shaped board.

Interview with a Neanderthal (Part 2)

Once their mission was completed, they evolved into Homo sapiens (Cro-Magnons).

Neanderthals did cross paths with other species, such as Cro-Magnons.

Clara Iza von Ravn

Selestor’s Men of Atlantis

Nay, not of theirs but of Atlantian origin the cross.

A symbol sacred; near the Throne it brought man's consciousness, so, when the cross shone brightest all were joyous; peace and plenty it bespake.

Yea, thus it was and is unto this day; a cross betokens God's great power and man's adaptation of material given for his uses by that One who set the stars on high in form of cross.

And so the line was taken, when three thousand years of government flew by, by king a rover bold, a son of him who wore the cross of promise; one who stemmed the flood of bitter opposition to a war which nearly wrecked the navy—in that day a feeble line of galleys, later great and striking awe to every heart where sailed the wondrous fleet in southern sea.

Streets which cross and wind were but the fancy of the crafty one who held the keys which locked the nation's useless horde, for many years but useless—useless, as they sought no more their ancient home where gold in grains were held for merchandise.

"And I forebode the doom that doth befall, for hither cometh on the 'wings of Ram' the water's mighty sledge of Death," and folding calmly to his breast the cross—prophetic symbol of his age and mind—he knelt and sought to pray.

W. Scott-Elliot

The Story of Atlantis

The Spanish priests regarded this similarity as the work of the devil.[10] The worship of the cross by the natives, and its constant presence in all religious buildings and ceremonies, was the principal subject of their amazement; and indeed nowhere—not even in India and Egypt—was this symbol held in more profound veneration than amongst the primitive tribes of the American continents, while the meaning underlying its worship was identical.

In the west, as in the east, the cross was the symbol of life—sometimes of life physical, more often of life eternal.

Tertullian in his De Baptismo says that they were promised in consequence "regeneration and the pardon of all their perjuries." The Scandinavian nations practised baptism of new-born children; and when we turn to Mexico and Peru we find infant baptism there as a solemn ceremonial, consisting of water sprinkling, the sign of the cross, and prayers for the washing away of sin (see Humboldt's Mexican Researches and Prescott's Mexico).

They had even a ceremony resembling the Eucharist, in which cakes marked with the Tau (an Egyptian[11] form of cross) were eaten, the people calling them the flesh of their God.

Remains of this race, as of the Rmoahals, have been found in the quaternary strata of Central Europe, and the dolichocephalous "Cro-Magnon man"[1] may be taken as an average specimen of the race in its decadence, while the "Lake-Dwellers" of Switzerland formed an even earlier and not quite pure offshoot.

Constant experiments were made in breeding and cross-breeding different kinds of animals, and, curious though it may seem to us, artificial heat was largely used to force their development, so that the results of crossing and interbreeding might be more quickly apparent.

Hills of about one thousand feet were the highest they could cross.

Birthright (#3 part 1) the Life of Robert Nelson

The beings in charge of his abductions appeared to be a cross between insects and humans, hovering in the air, and they allowed smaller doctors to perform painful procedures on him.

Paul Wallis

Did Jesus believe about the ELOHIM and YAHWEH stories?

Wallis examines the origins of the Christian cross, noting that it predates Christianity and was associated with symbols of power and the sun in ancient cultures.

Constantine, the Roman emperor, adopted the cross as a Christian symbol, blending it with pre-existing religious imagery.

Jesus in India, Tibet and Egypt

Some traditions suggest that Jesus did not physically die on the cross, but entered a deep meditative state, allowing him to transcend physical pain.

Frederick S. Oliver

Contain Thyself (7-1)

To assert that we, despite our enlightenment, adored the orb of day, would he as absurd as to say that the Christians adore the cross of the crucifixion for itself; in both cases it is the attached significance that caused the sun, and causes the cross, to be held in any sort of regard.

The Exoteric Church hath closed the ends of His Cross.

Frederick S. Oliver

Faith is knowledge also, and it giveth to removing mountains (3-1)

Cultural and Linguistic Diversity: The narrator mentions studying various languages and cultures, including those of other nations, indicating a society that values linguistic ability and cross-cultural knowledge.

Caiphul (2-1)

These rails served as cross streets, there being in comparatively few instances any paved street underneath the rails on any but the great radiate avenues.

On the maps of the City Department of Transit these main and cross rails looked like the web of a garden spider.

The presence of these shared characteristics suggests the possibility of cross-cultural influences or archetypal elements being passed down through different mythological traditions.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Deluge of the Chaldeans

The sea which a sailing-vessel required fifteen days to cross must have been a very large body of water; in fact, an ocean.

Dan Xuisoko

Abuna Yemata Guh

Yang ley lines represent potent Earth energy and are especially powerful when they cross through mountainous or rocky terrain.

Not only was it the first temple built by the saint who popularized Christianity in Ethiopia, but it is also the one closest to the cross point between two ley lines.

When Yin and Yang ley lines cross, the surrounding area is believed to be filled with immense energy.

It is said that where two Yang lines cross, the Earth's power is very easy to absorb, and if three lines cross, it is extremely rare.

The Abuna Yemata Guh Temple was built as close as possible to where three Yang lines cross, and the Bayata Giorgis lies directly on one of them.

Nana Beaujo holds on to a great big log

I kind of like to cross-reference the stories when I do this because there's a lot of good visuals and references in that Bible as well.
