Eagle-Vultures/Griffons As Life Power Agents

The two most important pillars found at Göbekli Tepe so far. Pillar 43 on the left shows the Ancient Pagan Paradigm and pillar 18 on the right shows that pillars represented ancestral powers as shown by its human representation of hands over stomach above a loincloth and belt.

Göbekli Tepe Pillars 43 (Network & Vulture) and 18 (Ancestor) (9,600-8,800 BCE)

(July 3, 2022) Not all ancestral pillar stones have carvings but pillar 43 has an extensive set illustrating the Ancient Pagan Paradigm as a background to a drought indicated by dying birds.

Pillar 43 is known as the vulture stone because of its vulture image in the left middle position. That central section represents the middle connective layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. The three large bricks making up its ceiling is the sky-shell.

Right below the sky-shell and mixed in with the eagle vultures is a network represented by a fishing net similar to that shown below. According the Alphabetic Akkadian Mediterranean texts the eagle-vultures trim the network to direct the fertility fluids flowing within its links from the source layer to the proper place on earth. In the image, the eagle-vulture is holding the masculine sun in one wing which represents the connective power of the network and its fluids, sunlight, heat, and rain (when hidden).

To the right of the network are Sacred Ibis which because of the shape of their beak and black head represent the feminine crescent moon against the night sky (it was popular in Egypt). The crescent moon power is the feminine complement to the sun and it guides the eagle-vultures and hence the flow of the fertility fluids. Significantly these ibises are lying down dead or weak indicating the crescent moon power has failed or is weak. To the right of the birds seems to be a dead snake. Snakes representing the power of life and death in ancient mythologies.

The image section below the connective layer represents the manifestation layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. While partly hidden it contains a scorpion which represents paralysis. This would indicate that the life powers on earth are paralyzed due to the problems with the high powers.

The later agricultural settlement period at Gobekli Tepe is represented by “Level II” having remains belonging to 8800-8000 BCE. It consists of buildings with rectangular rooms made from stone walls and terrazzo ﬂoors. It had less elaborate ritual places consisting only of large stone rings. Some of these buildings had smaller pillars being only 1.5 meters (5 feet) tall. This smaller scale indicates a smaller and more local population was supporting the rituals at this time instead of the larger population from festival gatherings (see Calleti 2020 for the latest update)

Levant Partly Lordified Eagle-Vulture Without Wings at Start of Great Drought 1300 BCE

The images on this cylinder seal are in the Cypriot style yet this seal was found at Tel Batash (Biblical Timnah) in what would soon become Philistia. This town was violently destroyed by invaders around 1280 BCE during the chaos surrounding the drought ending the Bronze age. The building in which it was found was some sort of public building.
This image contrasts the power of life and death. On one side of the eagle-vulture is the tree of life with snakes at its base. On the other side is a dead Ibex representing the end to fertility. So an eagle vulture with clipped wings may indicate that it had become powerless. (from Mazar and Panitz-Cohen, 2019)

Anatolian Partly Lordified Eagle-Vulture at Start of Great Drought 1300 BCE

A more lordified (more human) Eagle Vulture image was found at the north gate of the Karatepe temple in southern Anatolia. It is surrounded by masculine and feminine fertility images. Above the vulture is the sun deity, Hu. All the divine powers have gained an additional set of wings to indicate their divinity.
The panel dates to about 1,300 BCE based upon its undeciphered Luwian writing and shows the persistence of Neolithic religious culture. These eagle-vultures are often mentioned in the earliest Alphabetic Akkadian texts. (from Ceram 1956)

Minoan Eagle-Vulture Seals (1600 BCE)

Seals labels "2" show eagle vultures playing with the network. Seal 1b shows an eagle vulture on the right manipulating the sun. Seal 3b shows an eagle vulture manipulating water or wine storage.

Now at the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel (number H-1957). Seal made of bone with loop handle on the back. 14 x 8 x 6 mm, height with handle is 13 mm. Notice the left upright bird being chased has a crest.

Image of the Long Crested eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis) now found only in the savanna's of Africa. It is the only bird in the area having this sort of crest on the back of the head. Yet images of it exist in Phoenicia as well as in this sealing as the upright bird indicating it once resided in the Levant.
It generally perches until a rodent, snake, or lizard is spotted and then it swoops down upon its prey. In this it is the daytime equivalent to most owls which hunt more at dawn and dusk. https://ebird.org/species/loceag1

An eagle-vulture with a snake-like neck on a gravestone (cippus) without text from Sidon. Notice the crest on the back of its head. Now in the Louvre in Paris (AO 4946). It dates to about 300 BCE during the Hellenistic era

Bottom support of a terracotta ritual vase showing eagle-vulture (griffon) cauldron from near Corinth, Greece (700 BCE). This was probably used in rituals as the top layer shows stars and life networks. Middle layer shows representations of the main types of life forms surrounding an eagle-vulture (griffon) cauldron besides an Alphabetic Akkadian letter "taw" meaning "motion-magic." Together the cauldron and letter represent both classes of spiritual powers. The bottom layer represents subterranean waters.

Gravestone from the child cemetery of Carthage. Now at the Tunisian National Bardo Museum. The child's cemetery is mistakenly called the "Tophet" from its use in the Hebrew scripture as a place for child sacrifice. The word is actually Akkadian meaning "Magical Boundary Opener" from Tu.Pe.Etu (Magic.Opener.Boundary).

Child Gravestone Text from Carthage Blames Eagle-Vultures for Drought (170 BCE)

(August 29, 2022) This gravestone was found in the children’s cemetery in Carthage. It dates sometime after 400 BCE when texts first started to appear on gravestones there (Sheldon 2020) and before the destruction of Carthage in 146 BCE. The text reveals that the child seems to have died from starvation due to a drought which dates it to about 170 BCE.

Astrological-powers are not swarming the life-growth-threads, (because) energy lacks threads. The Revealer (Yahu) is not being nested.
Misery makes anarchy. The nesting Controllers (Ayu and eagle-vultures) are paralyzing the Revealer. The Reed-Boat (Ayu) is revealed.
The fertility-fluid's motion-powers are nourishing the Reed-Boat's fertility-fluids. The Revealer lacks confusion. The Authorities (astrological powers) are revealed.
Life-priests are opening the fertility-fluids. The Redirectors (Ayu and eagle-vultures) are confusing the energy. Eagle-vultures are getting involved with the life-growth-threads.
Those undermined eagle-vultures eliminate the rainstorms.
