290 PH@NICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

the crosses of the Union Jack and associated Crosses on the Scandinavian ensigns.

The name “‘ Cross” is now discovered to be derived from the Sumerian (i.c. Early Pheenician) word Garza, which is defined as “Sceptre or Staff of the Sun-God,” and also “ Sceptre of the King.’ And its word-sign is pictured by the two-barred Cross, or battle-axe (Khat the root of Khat-ti or Hittite, see Fig. 46 b) springing from the rayed Sun (Fig. 46g). In its simpler form it is the Cross of the Trojan amulets (Fig. 31 a, p. 238, and Fig. 46 h & #); and it survives to the present day in practically its original form in the “ Mound” symbol of sovereignty (Fig. 47 H) borne in the hand of kings in the modern Aryanized world.

The Sun Cross, engraved by our Phcenician Cassi, king of the Scots, on his votive pillar at Newton to the Sun-god Bil, and engraved on many other pre-Christian monuments (see Fig. 47), and stamped upon many Early Briton coins (Fig. 3, etc.), now supplies us for the first time with the key to the manner in which the True Cross or “ F iery Cross ”’ emblem of Universal Victory of the Sun-God Bil, which is figured so freely upon Hittite and Sumerian sacred seals from the fourth millennium pB.c. onwards, was substituted in Christianity by the Goths for the Crucifix of Christ—which Crucifix was of quite a different shape from the True Cross or Sun C ross, now used in modem Christianity.

The earliest form of the True Cross or Sun Cross was, I find, the shape +,? wherein the arms are of equal length —the so-called “‘ Greek Cross” and ‘“‘ Red Cross of St. George,” and ‘“‘The Short Cross’’ of numismatists, It occurs in this form as the symbol for the Sun and its God in the sacred seals of the Hitto-Sumerians from the fifth

* This is given as the first sign in the Ogam inscription on the Newton Stone, as transcribed by Mr. Brash (B.O.1., 361); anda personal examination of the stone supports the view that it was not merely a vertical stroke but bore a horizontal ‘‘ stem "’ line, though the latter is now somewhat scaled off. In any case the long single-stroke Ogam sign is represented as + in the Ogam alphabet; and sce Fig. 46a.
