TAS-MIKAL THE ARYAN CORN-SPIRIT = 345

On whose core the name of Ia is recorded,

With the spell supreme . . . to foundation and roof let ascend

And to the sick man never may those seven demons approach ! 2

The Archangel's association with Corn and Agriculture as “ The Corn Spirit,’ was in series with his Father’s titles of “Lord of the Lands”’ and of Agriculture, in the Sumerian psalms.

Thus in these psalms “‘ The Enthroned Zax ”’ is hailed :—

“ Lord of the Harvest Lands, Lord of the Grain Lands ! Husbandman who tends the fields art thou, O Zax the Enthroned !2

“ Tender of the plants of the Garden art thou! Tender of the Grain Fields art thou! ’ “ Father Zax, the presents of the Ground are offered to thee in sacrifice ! O Lord of Sumer, figs to thy dwelling-place we bring ! To give Life to the Ground thou dost exist ! Father Zax, accept the sacred offerings ! ’'!

Tt is easy to see now, in the light of our discoveries, why the Early Aryans or Hitto-Sumerians, Khatti or Catti Goths were naturally led to institute a patron saint or Archangel of Agriculture and The Plough. They were, I find, the founders of the Agricultural Stage of the World’s Civilization, and made Agriculture the basis of their Higher Civilization and the Settled Life—and it still remains the basis of the Higher Civilization to the present day. They also took from it their title of “ Avri’’—or “ Arya”’ (Englished into “ Avya-n"’)—which, I find, is derived from the Sumerian Ay, “a Plough’ (which thus discloses the Sumerian origin of the Old English “to Ear (i.e., plough) the ground,” Gothic Avian, Greek Avoein, Latin Ar-are). And they made ploughing and sowing sacred rites under the Sun Cross, as we have seen in the Cassi seal of about 1350 B.C. (see Fig. 12, p. 49) and the same scene is figured on seals of the fourth millennium B.c. In establishing Agriculture, the Aryans, as a small band of civilized pioneers,
