246 PHGNICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

beneficent earthly king so early as about 4000 B.c. He is of fine Aryan type (see Figs. 33, 35, etc.), with Gothic horned chaplet, richly robed, and usually enthroned beside the Sun. This was evidently also the conception of the Universal God by our Aryan ancestors, even when the more idealistic of them refrained from making his graven image, and figured him merely by the simple circle of ‘“‘ Unity’ and “ Perfection,’ as engraved on many Hitto-Sumerian seals and on the cup-mark inscriptions in prehistoric Britain.

Although calling him “ /-a” (or Jove), that same wordsign was also read by the Sumerians as In-duru, the “ Indava”’ of the Hittites, the Indra of the Vedas, the “ Indri-thedivine” title of Thor in the Gothic Eddas. And this name of Indara, we shall find later, is the source of the name and of the supernatural miraculous part of the Church legend of St. Andrew, the patron saint of the later Goths, Scyths and Scots.

The dual circles or “cups” for the Sun, connote the ancient idea that the Sun apparently moved round the earth and returned East for sunrise under the earth or ocean somehow so as to form two phases, as the “ Day’ Sun and the “ Night ’’ (or submarine “ returning ’’) Sun—a notion also believed by the writers of the Hebrew Old Testament.

These dual circles for the Sun, denoting his day and night phases, seen in Fig. 33, are again seen in the seal of about 2400 B.C. in Fig. 36, which represents the owner of the votive seal being introduced by the archangel TaSia‘ to the Resurrecting Sun-god (two-headed as before) emerging on the East (or left hand) from the waters of the Deep (and behind him the swimming “‘ Fish-god ” of the Deep), wherein the Sun-god’s name is written Ra or Zal, inscribed immediately underneath the two circles.» These names for him now disclose the Sumerian source of the Egyptian Ra

> The other name in panel to left, immediately under the head of the “ Fish-god ” of the Deep, reads A-a, and is defined as “ God of the Water Vase of the Uku (? Achaia) people’’ (Br. 10692), and appears to represent the Sun-god’s father Ia, the Creator, resurrecting from the Deep, or his “House of the Waters ’—the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the Waters. ‘‘ Indra loves the Waters’ (R.V.10. 111.10). “‘ Indra lets loose the Waters for the benefit of mankind.” (R.V.1.57. Oetc., 4. 19.5 etc.).
