What does Any Forums think about Sanchuniathon?

This guy had been writing about Cronus/Saturn/Moloch since before Christ. Pic related.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchuniathon
>Sanchuniathon (/ˌsæŋkjʊˈnaJəθɒn/; Ancient Greek: Σαγχουνιάθων Sankhouniáthōn; probably from Phoenician: 𐤎𐤊𐤍𐤉𐤕𐤍, romanized: SKNYTN, Saḵūnyatān, "[the god] Sakon has given"), also known as Sanchoniatho the Berytian, is the Phoenician author of three lost works originally written in the Phoenician language and surviving only in partial paraphrase and summary of a Greek translation by Philo of Byblos, according to the Christian bishop Eusebius. These few fragments comprise the most extended literary source concerning Phoenician religion in either Greek or Latin: Phoenician sources, along with all of Phoenician literature, were lost with the parchment on which they were written

>Eusebius also cites the Neoplatonic author Porphyry's claim that Sanchoniaton of Berito (Beirut) would have written the truest history of the Jews, having obtained it from the records of "Hierombalus" ("Jerubaal"? or "Hiram'baal"?), priest of the god Ieuo or Jevo (Yahweh)

>The semi-legendary pre-Trojan War Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, indicates that Cronus was originally a Canaanite ruler who founded Byblos and was subsequently deified. This version gives his alternate name as Elus or Ilus, and states that in the 32nd year of his reign, he emasculated, slew and deified his father Epigeius or Autochthon "whom they afterwards called Uranus". It further states that after ships were invented, Cronus, visiting the 'inhabitable world', bequeathed Attica to his own daughter Athena, and Egypt to Taautus the son of Misor and inventor of writing
The wife of Cronus/Saturn/Moloch/El/Elus, Asherah, is interesting.

>It is in Proverbs where we meet Asherah as Wisdom personified. She appears as a creator goddess in Proverbs 8:22-31 and the following chapter describes a banquet that Wisdom hosts in her palace (Proverbs 9:1-6). In the Ugaritic texts, we read similarly of Asherah and her consort El hosting banquets in their mountain palace (cf. KTU 1.1 IV 26-35). We may thus compare the biblical and Ugaritic texts:

>"Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table" (Proverbs 9:1-2)

>"In his house El gave a feast of game, the produce of the hunt in the midst of his palace, he cried: 'To the carving, gods, eat, O gods, and drink! Drink wine until satiety, foaming wine until intoxication!' Yarih arched his back like a dog; he gathered up crumbs beneath the tables. Any god who recognized him threw him meat from the joint" (KTU 1.114 R 1-7)

>"Why has the Great Lady who Tramples Yam come? Why has the Mother of the gods arrived? Are you very hungry? Then eat! Are you very thirsty? Then drink! Eat and drink! Eat food from the table, from goblets drink wine, from cups of gold the juice of grapes" (KTU 1.4 IV 32-37)

>The connection with Wisdom and Asherah is reinforced by Proverbs 3:13-18 which contains some paronomasia between the name Asherah ('ashrh) and the word "happy" ('ashre), which is paired with the "tree of life" in a chiasm:

>"Happy ('ashre) is the one who finds wisdom .... She is a tree of life ('ts chyym) to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are made happy (m'sshr)." (Proverbs 3:13, 18; cf. 11:30; 15:4)

>The expression is nearly identical to "the tree of life" ('ts h-chyym) of Genesis 2:9, which refers to a specific mythological tree while the "tree of life" in Proverbs refers to a more abstract Wisdom, but the verse also plays on the name Asherah. It is interesting that Wisdom is identified with the "tree of life" when a "tree of knowledge of good and evil" (e.g. "wisdom") is distinguished from the Tree of Life in the Eden narrative. Many scholars since the time of Wellhausen have suggested that this second tree originated as a doublet of the first

>When he[Editorial Note 85] had been driven out of his kingdom, we have to suppose that he took refuge somewhere. And a very ancient story is that he subsequently hid in Italy. Hence the name Saturn is from סתר, Satar, to hide. And the name of Italy, Cittim, is from כתים, concealed hiding (as Bochart has explained at length in his Geography, bk. 3, ch. 5). For Cittim the Latins in their own Language say Latium. At the time when Saturn arrived in Italy, they claim that Janus was king, and therefore Janus is either the more ancient King or, more truly, the same King as Saturn. Before Saturn there was no God among you: Tertullian, Apology, ch. 10. Saturn was called Chiun and Chiwan by the Easterners, names which do not much differ from ἰαν; and in the Latin language Ιαν is Janus

>Furthermore [the Egyptians] give the name of Minerva to the Air and they think that she is the daughter of Jupiter and a Virgin because air is not by nature subject to corruption and occupies the highest position in the whole universe. Similarly the Venerable Augustine: If they say that Minerva occupies the higher part of the aether, and because of this, Poets imagine that she sprang from the head of Zeus, why, then, is she not rather reckoned to be queen of the Gods, because she is superior to Jupiter?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena
>It is generally agreed that the cult of Athena preserves some aspects of the Proto-Indo-European transfunctional goddess. The cult of Athena may have also been influenced by those of Near Eastern warrior goddesses such as the East Semitic Ishtar and the Ugaritic Anat, both of whom were often portrayed bearing arms. Classical scholar Charles Penglase notes that Athena resembles Inanna in her role as a "terrifying warrior goddess" and that both goddesses were closely linked with creation. Athena's birth from the head of Zeus may be derived from the earlier Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent into and return from the Underworld

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anat
>Anat is attested in a few Phoenician inscriptions from Cyprus. In the Anat Athena bilingual, the Greek goddess Athêna Sôteira Nikê is equated with ‘Anat, who is described in the inscription as the strength of life : l‘uzza hayim

>Anat is also presumably the goddess whom Sanchuniathon calls Athene, a daughter of El, mother unnamed, who with Hermes (that is Thoth) counselled El on the making of a sickle and a spear of iron, presumably to use against his father Uranus. However, in the Baal cycle, that rôle is assigned to Asherah / ‘Elat and ‘Anat is there called the "Virgin."

Never seen a good post by a Brazilian before wow

>As one can plainly see by the above comparison, the owl statue, situated within the library at the Bohemian Club headquarters in San Francisco, is an exact replica of the one at the Acropolis – thus, there is no doubt that the “Bohos” (by duplicating a famous statue located at the chief temple dedicated to Athena) are alluding to Athena/Minerva, or the goddess of wisdom. Furthermore, the statue in the Bohemian Club has a plaque on its front base, stating: “Replica of Ancient Athenian Owl” (see the “Inside The Bohemian Club” video at approximately 07:24)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_(Gnosticism)
>Sophia (Koinē Greek: Σοφíα "Wisdom", Coptic: ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ "the Sophia") is a major theme, along with Knowledge (γνῶσις gnosis, Coptic sooun), among many of the early Christian knowledge-theologies grouped by the heresiologist Irenaeus as gnostikoi (γνωστικοί), ‘knowing’ or ‘men that claimed to have deeper wisdom’. Gnosticism is a 17th-century term expanding the definition of Irenaeus' groups to include other syncretic and mystery religions

>In Gnosticism, Sophia is a feminine figure, analogous to the human soul but also simultaneously one of the feminine aspects of God. Gnostics held that she was the syzygy (female twin divine Aeon) of Jesus (i.e. the Bride of Christ), and Holy Spirit of the Trinity. She is occasionally referred to by the Hebrew equivalent of Achamōth (Ἀχαμώθ, Hebrew: חכמה chokhmah) and as Prunikos (Προύνικος). In the Nag Hammadi texts, Sophia is the lowest Aeon, or anthropic expression of the emanation of the light of God. She is considered to have fallen from grace in some way, in so doing creating or helping to create the material world

>For I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. —The Thunder, Perfect Mind

Anat is a "virgin" goddess, but her brother/husband(?) Ba'al Hadad cult is a fertility (sex) cult. Athena/Minerva is also a "virgin" goddess, but her grandfather/father(?) Saturn/Moloch cult is a fertility cult. Sophia is a "virgin" and a "whore" at the same time.

>Athena was said to have competed against the mortal Arachne in a weaving competition, afterward transforming Arachne into the first spider; Ovid also describes how she transformed Medusa into a Gorgon after witnessing her being raped by Poseidon in her temple. Since the Renaissance, Athena has become an international symbol of wisdom, the arts, and classical learning. Western artists and allegorists have often used Athena as a symbol of freedom and democracy

>"Weaving Spiders Come Not Here," the motto on the seal of the Bohemian Club, may well be alluding to the myth; the mere fact that it is accompanied by the owl, which represents Minerva, is significant and noteworthy (and too semiotically sound as to have been a mere coincidence)
