Coronation of the Virgin Velasquez and Rubens 17th C
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?
THE QUEENS OF HEAVEN
ASTARTE – INANNA - ISHTAR (EASTER) – VENUS – APHRODITE – the VIRGIN MARY
Astarte - the Queen of Heaven to whom the Canaanites burned offerings and poured libations (Jeremiah 44).
Astarte was worshiped in Egypt and Ugarit and among the Hittites, as well as in Canaan. Her Akkadian counterpart was Ishtar. Later she became assimilated with the Egyptian deities Isis and Hathor (a goddess of the sky and of women), and in the Greco-Roman world with Aphrodite, Artemis and Juno.

Inanna was also known as the Queen of Heaven and was the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the city of Uruk, which was her main cult centre. She was associated with the planet Venus and her most prominent symbols included the lion and the eight-pointed star. Her husband was the god Dumuzid (later known as Tammuz).
Inanna was originally worshiped in Sumer and later by the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians under the name Ishtar.
The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa referred to the planet Venus in the tablet as the "bright queen of the sky" or "bright Queen of Heaven".
Aphrodite was syncretized with the Roman goddess Venus. The cult of Aphrodite was largely derived from that of the Phoenician goddess Astarte, a cognate of the East Semitic goddess Ishtar, whose cult was based on the Sumerian cult of Inanna.
The Virgin Mary - Queen of Heaven (Latin: Regina Caeli) - a title given by the Catholic Church.
Classical paintings of the ‘Coronation of the Virgin’ often associate the Virgin Mary with Columba the Dove.
