In Egypt also—now seen to have been Aryanized by the Catti Phcenicians—‘‘ Michael ” actually appears under earlier forms of the latter name as “ God of the Harvest’ and also “of the Red Cross.’ As“ Resef” (t.e., Rashap Mikal) he is a god of the Middle Period admittedly imported from “Syria” (7.e., Syria-Phcenicia) and he is represented as a warrior with the Goat's head as a chaplet, and carrying the handled Cross of Life (see Fig. 69), and his relation to FoodGrain is indicated in his name Rese/, meaning Food-Grain.* He also bears titles equivalent to “ Archangel ”’ in “ Governor of the Gods”’ (the Egyptians being inveterate polytheists) and ‘“ Lord of the Two-fold Strength among the Company of the Gods.” And as “ Makhi-al’’ (or Makhi-ar) he is the “ Harvest God” and equivalent of Michael.
