Cylinder Seal: The Three Pattern in Mesopotamia
This cylinder seal was posted on a group about Mesopotamia. It is very cool. There is an old established way of quoting mythology and saying the meaning is about warding off evil. I am showing an alternative decoding, involving the worldwide pattern of "the three". The three are colorized green, purple and yellow. The purple is a bidirectional center flow, the green is a bidirectional side flow and the yellow is an upward flow. No matter what you name it, this pattern is very common. A center flow and two side flows are "the three". The center is bidirectional, one side is up, one side is down or bidirectional. That is the pattern.
The blue zone, I think is labelling regions: Smallness denoted high-density higher dimension (D), the intertwined layer E is the barrier between dimensions, and the lion F is presumably the lower dimension, but it also has a up outflow lion head and a bidirectional loop-back tail.
Image A has a downward flow Mace symbol and an upward symbol (resembles the layout of a fleur-de-lis, diverging birdheads and upward expanding foliage). A also has an upward conehead hat.
Image B has a crescent label for downward but the star above it makes it bidirectional. The other star is an upward symbol, like a Sol portal symbol.
Image C has two upward arm, hands and fingers. The hat is not complete, but the majority of those hats with that style of horns are upward coneheads. A collection of them is here: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/horns-hat/
Up and Down are a visual label standard. Up means energy returning to the higher dimension, and Down means higher density divine energy entering our dimension.
