...The god he worshipped, falsely styled by duplicitous historians as his personal god, was Aten (also Aton, Adon, or Adonai). Akhenaton's capital was Amarna and the temple to his god was probably the first to be designed, like most later churches and cathedrals, in the shape of a cross... ....The so-called "Israelites" (more correctly "Levites") enter the picture at this time. They were chosen by Akhenaton (Moses) after he was twice rejected by the vast majority of Egyptians who did not want to see him regain his throne after his original expulsion. When he finally knew that Egypt was lost to him, he decided to ingratiate the people now erroneously known as the "Israelites." From that point, the Levite status improved immensely even though they were also to be banished from Egypt with their new heretical demagogue. It becomes obvious to us that Osman and Gadalla are on the right track with their revisionist theories when we remember that Moses, while traveling with his "Chosen" of Goshen, carried and erected his standard, which was known as the "Brazen Serpent." This gives the game away, since the Egyptians Pharaohs (like the Chinese Emperors) used the symbol of royalty to denote themselves. There is not way that a follower of the Jehovah (as put before) would be making use of such a "pagan" device... ...One of the major insignias of the nationalistic Basque People of northern Spain is just this - a serpent entwined around a rod. And Basques are most assuredly Celtic in race and blood. Furthermore, the serpent around the rod motif comes originally from Astrology. It is an Astro-Theological device, a rendering of the Polar Axis of the Earth and the constellation Draco, the enormous constellation which like an encircling serpent which "protects" the circumpolar region. This region was known as Hesperides by the Greeks, Paradiso by the Sophics and the Field of Aaru by the Egyptians, and was the original Elysian Fields. The stars of the northern polar area neither rise nor set and were, therefore, regarded as symbols of eternity. These special stars were the souls of the perfected and enlightened, now beyond time. The Egyptian term for these stars was Khus. This word implied "Enlightened Ones," but was later mistranslated as Chaos, which meant something quite different. The dragon was the emblem of the Dragon Court of Egypt, the Brotherhood of the Snake, headed by the Hyksos Pharaohs and later by the renegade Akhenaton (Moses).... - Michael Tsarion - http://www.taroscopes.com/astro-theology/astrotheology.html#broken%20kings
