The premise <strong>of</strong> this article is that in ancient times in the Old World the Galactic<br />
Cross was denominated by the signs Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo.<br />
These signs are mentioned in the book <strong>of</strong> Revelations and Ezekiel as the four<br />
Cherubim that would return at the ‘End <strong>of</strong> Times’ and I therefore suggest that it<br />
represents the intersection <strong>of</strong> the Milky Way and the ecliptic and its perpendicular<br />
axis. Scorpio as one <strong>of</strong> the four Cherubim is <strong>of</strong>ten replaced by the Eagle<br />
representing the constellation Ophiuschus near Scorpio.<br />
Ezekiel 1:10 : As for the likeness <strong>of</strong> their faces, they four had the face <strong>of</strong> a man,<br />
and the face <strong>of</strong> a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face <strong>of</strong> an ox on<br />
the left side; they four also had the face <strong>of</strong> an eagle.<br />
Revelations 4:6-8:<br />
6. And before the throne there was a sea <strong>of</strong> glass like unto crystal: and in the<br />
midst <strong>of</strong> the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full <strong>of</strong> eyes<br />
before and behind.<br />
7. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the<br />
third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.<br />
8. And the four beasts had each <strong>of</strong> them six wings about him; and they were full<br />
<strong>of</strong> eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD<br />
God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.<br />
While the Galactic Equator intersects the ecliptic in 5° Sagittarius and<br />
5° Gemini in the sidereal zodiac, the boundaries <strong>of</strong> the signs Taurus, Aquarius,<br />
Scorpio and Leo are within a 5° range <strong>of</strong> the true Galactic Cross in the sidereal<br />
zodiac.<br />
The reason why the signs Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo were used to<br />
denote the Galactic Cross might be explained by the fact that the ancients, the<br />
Sumerians, Babylonians and Egyptians were more interested in the heliacal rising<br />
<strong>of</strong> constellations. The Egyptians for instance based their calendar on the heliacal<br />
rising <strong>of</strong> Sirius. The heliacal rising and setting <strong>of</strong> stars were incorporated into both<br />
calendars and zodiacs. The signs Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo are the<br />
constellations that heliacally rise before the constellation that define the true<br />
Galactic Cross 5° Gemini, 5° Pisces, 5° Sagittarius and 5° Virgo in the<br />
sidereal zodiac.<br />
Babylon, origin <strong>of</strong> the 8 pointed cross<br />
In ancient Babylon the Akkadian god Shamash (Sumerian Sun god Utu) was<br />
depicted as an 8 pointed star or 8 pointed cross. His name means Sun and<br />
temples were dedicated to Utu/Shamash in Babylon, Ur, Mari, Nippur and<br />
Nineveh. Shamash is the keeper <strong>of</strong> the Shenu (O| ring), a symbol that was also<br />
known in Egypt as the Shen. The symbol contains a coiled rope and it represents<br />
the orbit <strong>of</strong> the Sun or the ecliptic. It is also a symbol <strong>of</strong> undefined time and<br />
eternity and might therefore also represent the Sun’s orbit along the ecliptic in<br />
the precessional cycle. In the picture below Shamash is seated on a throne that is<br />
floating on water holding the Shenu. The water symbolically represents the river<br />
in the sky, the Milky Way. The 8 pointed solar disk is brought before Shamash<br />
on the <strong>of</strong>fer table. Notice that this 8 pointed cross consists <strong>of</strong> two different
