In a country where some 6,500 languages are spoken, a wide variety of common symbols, symbols, and logos can often bridge the gap between cultures. Certain images, and the ideas they represent, can be easily seen by many. However, some of the most common images associated with modern ideas, products, or movements come to us from our very ancient ancestors.
some of these ancient symbols convey more than their modern contexts might suggest. Let's look at 5 symbols whose modern form can compare with their ancient origin.
5. Star and Research.
Today, the star and the moon are used as a symbol of the world in many lands, including Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Pakistan, and Malaysia. Placed in the Ottoman-Turks flag, it became widespread as a symbol of the Ottoman Empire after 1757. Its use in mosques and minarets also led to a connection between the star and the moon with Islam.
Thanks for reading.
The origin of the star and the fragment may have appeared less frequently in famous Mesopotamian statues. Here the ossuary was associated with the moon-god Sin and the star-goddess and goddess Ishtar, representing Venus. However, the symbol in its present form was probably developed in the Greek Byzantine colony about 300 BC. Within the context, they represented the moon and goddess Luna and Diana, and the morning star associated with Venus.
4. Shamrock.
With a name derived from the Irish word “seamróg” or “seamair óg,” which translates as little clover, shamrock is one of the most famous Irish symbols. Its painting can be seen everywhere on the Emerald Isle. Like the three-leaf clover, it is traditionally based on the sacred image of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, is said to have used shamrock in his teachings to convert Irish people to Christianity in the 5th century.
What few realize is that the sacred Trinity symbol of the shamrock goes back even further than the teachings of Sts. The symbol was originally associated with the Celtic mother goddess Danu. Possibly the god of fertility, wisdom, and spirit, the three leaves are believed to represent her position as virgin, mother, and Irish crown. Do not confuse it with a four-leaf clover, with a completely different meaning!
3.Fleur-de-Lis
The fleur-de-lis symbol is used today in all kinds of situations as a decorative element only, as well as to represent light, life, and perfection. However, it is more commonly found in Catholic icons. It symbolizes the Holy Trinity and purity and is called the Virgin Mary. Although it is also seen as a decorative element in many European countries, it is often seen in France. In fact, the symbol is soon to represent the French empire, with the legend that the angel gave it to Clovis, the Frankish king of Merovingian.
Translated into English as “flower of the lily,” the fleur-de-lis is believed to represent the carved flower or lotus flower and has been used in various works of ancient civilization. Used for both decorative and symbolic purposes, fleur-de-lis has been found in Mesopotamian cylinders, Mycenean pottery, Egyptian bas-reliefs, Sassanid cloth, Gaulish and Mameluk coins, Japanese statues, Indonesian clothing, and Dogon totems. It is often associated with the sacred goddesses of these cultures.
2.Skull Skull and Crossbones.
A symbol that includes a human skull with two long bones that fall to the ground, a skull and crossbones that represent poison, danger, and warnings, as well as firmness and violence. The most common use today is to distinguish toxic substances that are not to be used, they are also used as a symbol of pirates and, even today, as a symbol of many military and naval operations around the world. However, this symbol was often found in ancient times to convey the Latin meaning of Medieval European intellectuals as “Memento Mori”: Remember, you die.
The original meaning of the sign was to serve as a reminder of the temporary and temporary state of human life and the inevitability of death. It was used to remind a person that there is eternal life within each one of us and to strive to reach a higher spiritual height. This parable taught that, although death may come, the soul survives the death of the physical body.
1.Dark Sun
Another spiritual symbol that was hijacked by the Nazis, the Black Sun, has been associated with the Third Reich since the 1930's. The special configuration used by the Nazis came into use at Wewelsburg Castle after the reformation of Heinrich Himmler. A particular Nazi design was a new and unique take on various ancient images of the "Sun wheel" symbol. It was made up of twelve Sig-runes, representing the Nazi conquest and was their entertainment for the Viking Sowilo-rune.
The number twelve is very important in the various systems of spiritual beliefs and occult cosmogonies. Interestingly, the Nazi configuration shared many similarities with the decorative Merovingian discs dating back to the early Medieval period. The power and influence exerted by the Merovingian monarchs in Germany during that time may have been something the Nazis longed to imitate.
The sun wheel is a powerful spiritual symbol found in the iconography and religious art of many pre-historic cultures around the world. In all of these many societies, the sun has been worshiped as the supreme savior of life. The sign of the Sun wheel is said to call for the great power of the sun in the sky to bless the earth with life, fertility, prosperity, abundance, and peace. Images of the Black Sun may have been significant between German and Norse mythology in the accounts of Ragnarök's apocalyptic events. In the story, the wolf who chases the sun eternally across the sky finally catches and swallows it, causing the beginning of an age of darkness, regression, and chaos.
