Was lucky to come into that guy.

By the way won't Mount and Blade feature something inspired by it?

@Conejo I don't think its worth it that much to look into symbolism, because there is a lot of crossover. For example the Jewish star of davaid was stolen from Hinduism

Also that wreath on the UN symbol is also used by the Roman Empire

Wasn't the Star of David mostly used by Muslims before under the name of Seal of Solomon?

I know Morocco used it and two Seljuq Turkish break-away states.

I think Morocco's is different I read up on it before I went to Tangiers

>Hexagram flag of Morocco, as shown in Nouveau Petit Larousse Illustré, 1924.

The red background on the Moroccan flag represents hardiness, bravery, strength and valour, while the green represents love, joy, wisdom, peace and hope,[1][2] it also represents the color of Islam and the pentagram the seal of Solomon [3] .The 5 branches also represents the pillars of Islam

he Seal of Solomon (or Ring of Solomon; Arabic: خاتم سليمان‎ Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval Jewish tradition and in Islamic and Western occultism. It was often depicted in either a pentagram or hexagram shape; the latter also known as the Star of David in Jewish tradition.

hmm I guess

I know it was a very popular Turkic Muslim symbol at least.

THE HEXAGRAM (six-pointed star) is one of the earliest symbols and has been found on artefacts that certainly predate its association, Judaism. The hexagram only began to be used in synagogues in the late middle ages; its association with the term "Star of David" probably derives from its use in the Kabalah as the Shield of David, a magical symbol of protection. In this role, the Shield of David was often represented as either a hexagram or a pentagram.

THE QUESTIONER may have seen a yantra rather than a star of David, or the star of David may have been suggested by a yantra. Yantras are mystic diagrams used in meditation. They consist of letters and geometric figures and the best known comprises nine interlocking triangles, symbolising the multi-dimensional manifestations of male/female cosmic power known as Shiva-Shakti.

Since it is generally accepted that the Sanskrit writing system developed out of the early northern semitic writing system (sometimes known as the 'Phoenician' alphabet), it is obvious that there was a good deal of cross-cultural borrowings in ancient times. I don't see why the six-pointed star should not have travelled the same trade routes either east to west or west to east.

Candar in one of the versions looked the same as Red Star of David symbol.

There is no Star of David in hinduism, at least not in its literal sense.


Hindu people call that shape shatkon (षटकोण)

षटकोण - one which has six corners.

This 'six pointed star' is generally used as a यंत्र (device), purification symbol, or as a placeholder for idols. Throughout Hindu culture the shape has taken various meaning during different time and places.

This shape is made of two interlocking triangles, the upper stands for Shiva, ‘purusha’ (male energy) and fire, the lower for Shakti, ‘prakriti’ (female power) and water. Unification of these two give birth of Sage Sanatkumara. Shiva is also known as destroyer and the supreme consciousness (depending on which texts you decide to follow) and Shiva derives his powers from Shakti; in other words, Gods are useless without Shakti.

throughout Hindu households and ancient Vedic architecture.

Some believe, this device can be used in place of idols for Pooja; Others believe, this device helps in Yoga and concentration. Nonetheless this shape is considered very holy in hinduism.

Generally Mantra (Sanskrit chants) are inscribed in the shape and depending on the chants, this device can take different meanings. Chants of specific god will make this device work for pleasing specific diety or god.

You will also see this shape being used with other Hindu symbols like

पद्म (Padma) - Lotus,
ॐ (OM) - Sound of the Universe,
स्वास्तिक: (Swastika) - Good, Auspicious
Conch (Shell) - life giving.
Circle - depecting the cyclic nature of things.

jews stealin shit

Jews also used to use the swastika

In architecture I think?

satan is cooler than god

Very original

PWASE STANTON

@Deleted User Small world huh

If Med/Latin Union was a nation, at least the most likely parts that'd form a union in the short term would have a GDP of 4.55789 Trillion

with Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Malta, Romania, and Cyprus

getting rid of Romania wouldn't change it much

it'd be the 4th largest economy in the world

a good deal ahead of Germany

and would probably overtake Japan overtime, challenging China and the US

but still way smaller than China and the US tbh

@Deleted User Did I invite you here?

Purchasing Power would be 8,064,305 in $millions, making it just behind India

only militaries that could challenge it would probably be China, Russia, US, it'd be equivalent to or better than India

@Deleted User No, it was @Deleted User who invited me

Unpopular opinion: Augustan Rome was better

lol

Popular opinion: ur mum gay

if foreign languages you dont understand are Moonrunes, does this make Moonman a foreigner?
