Bernieri depicting Venus in a chariot drawn by doves.
The Two Babylons by Rev. Alexander Hislop (1807–65)
First published in 1853 by the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland theologian Alexander Hislop.
The central theme of the book is that the ancient Babylonian religion provided the basis for modern day Roman Catholic Christianity.
Whilst discussing the origins of Easter, reference is made to the mystic egg of the Babylonians:
“and thus its tale is told by Hyginus, the Egyptian, the
learned keeper of the Palatine library at Rome in the time of
Augustus, who was skilled in all the wisdom of his native country:
“An egg of wondrous size is said to have fallen from heaven into
the river Euphrates. The fishes rolled it to the bank, where the
doves having settled upon it, and hatched it, out came Venus, who
afterwards was called the Syrian Goddess”*—that is, Astarte.
Hence the egg became one of the symbols of Astarte or Easter; and
accordingly, in Cyprus, one of the chosen seats of the worship of
Venus, or Astarte, the egg of wondrous size was represented on a
grand scale.†
The occult meaning of this mystic egg of Astarte, in one of its
aspects (for it had a twofold significance), had reference to the ark‡
during the time of the flood,”
* HYGINUS, Fabulae, pp. 148, 149.
† From LANDSEER’S Sabean, Researches, p. 80. London, 1823.
‡ BRYANT, vol. iii. p. 161.
Babylonian Religion - the Basis for Modern Day Roman Catholic Christianity?
Based on Hislop’s premise in “The Two Babylons”, could the wondrous egg of VENUS falling from Heaven into the Euphrates, rolled to the banks by the fishes and hatched by the doves (as described by Hyginus) provide an alternative source for the Biblical story of NOAH’S ARK?
From the 17th century star charts of Johannes Hevelius, COLUMBA the DOVE can clearly be seen located next to the celestial star ship ARGO NAVIS.
In Harmonia Macrocosmica by Andreas Cellarius (published 1660), Argo Navis is even labelled up as “Arca Nöe”.
Was the wondrous sized egg in actual fact a STAR-SHIP from VENUS endeavouring to escape a planetary cataclysm?
Perhaps there were other star-ships with colonisers from Venus.
Hence the Ishtar Egg Hunt?
The EVE of the Colonisers – the QUEEN from HEAVEN.
The true meaning of EVE-olution?
