I've been researching how ancient cultures responded to #eclipses, especially #TotalSolarEclipses, since 1992.
Ancient people built some structures & created #geoglyphs aka #EarthArt intended to be seen by their #SkyGods the Sun & Moon.
This structure may well have #SolarSymbolism built into it.

I'm not sure naming a traitor after the supreme god of #Assyria is a good idea.

It *could* even amount to #BlasphemousLibel from an ancient #Assyrian perspective. . . 😉

Close up of a hand holding three large hailstones, the size and shape of mandarins, against a background of blurry vegetation and a wall. I have big hands, so trust me these hailstones are huge! I probably should have used a coin or something for comparison. Next time…
We had a huge hailstorm overnight, with thunder unlike any I've heard before. The sky gods are angry!

The #NazcaLines, especially the pictorial #geoglyphs, were intended to be viewed from high in the sky.
Ancient people believed that the Sun & Moon were #SkyGods, but there's more to it.
A #TotalSolarEclipse looks like an "eye in the sky". . .

The heavens opened this evening and gifted light to the earth. So did the Sky Gods offer the Earth Gods a blessing. A bestowing of Grace for the life to come.

“12th Hour”
A acrylic and gouache paint piece. A visual interpretation of the 12th hour from “The Book of Gates” where Ra is lifted into Nut’s arms by Nun.

Exactly.
Most ancient cultures believed that the Sun and Moon were #SkyGods, but then there's the additional fact that most #TotalSolarEclipses resemble the pupil and iris of an "eye of God" staring down from the sky. . .

Even if the #NascaGeoglyphs served as stages for activities, this does not mean that they were not intended to be seen as "pure images" by #SkyGods too.
Many ancient cultures believed the Sun and Moon were gods.
