Sicilian Coins 500-400 BCE

For translation methodology see: How to Translate Alphabetic Akkadian Texts

Because alphabetic Akkadian was unknown until recently scholars could not translate it. Therefore, they assumed this text was only the name "Zankle" despite the fact that the letter Z is not even in the text.

So Called "Zankle" Coin Minted in Sicily 500-493 BCE

(June 3, 2023, updated March 17, 2025) In an amazing example of group think these coins do not say "Zankle" but say "Dankle" with a D! Yet all the coin dealers claim this is a "zankle" coin.

Fish images represent energy and motion powers from a conflation of the the Akkadian words ziqu meaning breath, wind, spirit (motion power manifestations) and ziqqatû which means "fish." The /t/ ending in Akkadian is also a feminine word modifier so a spiritual power is also a "lady-fish."

The text is talking about how motion powers (energy) do not affect the life powers.

The text style is Etruscan yet it is written in the Greek direction (right to left).

One side shows a 3 horse chariot with a winged goddess above it. These 3-horse chariots were never used in Greek racing and only rarely in Roman racing. They typically were the chariots driven by a diety because the Druid Ancient Pagan Paradigm had 3 layers. For example, the first-time Triga appeared on Roman coinage around First Punic War with goddess Victory driving it. The denarius of Roman Republic issued in 111-110 BC depicted Victory driving Triga (the 3-horse chariot) on the reverse side.

Based on the text the charioteer is the god of Dawn who is activated by Thu flying overhead. Dawn in turn activates the manifestation of life by Yahu. The chariot is also a symbol of activation.

The face is the hermaphrodite deity Thu who brings the astrological motion powers from Su and Selene to earth. Thu is associated with astrology magic which is human emotion magic meant to affect the astrological powers of fate (from Su). The dolphins surrounding the head represent motion powers. Thu is wearing a pearl necklace and has a pearl hair piece which represent the astrological motion powers in general.
