Archaeologists agree, Göbekli Tepe changes everything.
Knowledge 31
Göbekli Tepe was used for rituals, possibly funerary rituals, and as a pilgrimage destination. It is one of the world's oldest archaeological ruins and oldest temples.
Ani is located 50 km east of Kars, at the Armenian border where the river Arpaçay forms a natural border between the two countries.
Göbeklitepe is perhaps the most known and discussed archaeological site of the last decade. It was discovered in the 1990s, and excavations have been ongoing since then. Göbeklitepe is approximately 20 km northeast of Şanlıurfa. The colossal anthropomorphic statues which date back to 11000-12000 BC are extraordinary for this period of humankind. Before Göbeklitepe, the history of the Neolithic period began around 9000 BC; the colossal statues and several of the reliefs on the statues are truly unique for this period. Considering the absence of metal tools, it is remarkable to consider that the statues were made using exclusively stone tools. Nothing similar from this period has ever been found. It is understood that Göbeklitepe was a kind of shrine, consisting of round rooms, each containing these colossal statues. According to scholars, this is a cult area where ancestral cult rituals were performed that were connected to death and the underworld. There are no ceramics or signs of any settlement here; however, the giant project that was carried out at Göbeklitepe points to a very sophisticated and organized society in close vicinity. Surprisingly, the Göbeklitepe shrines were not buried by natural causes, but on purpose by people who once lived here - the reason remains a mystery. Recent surveys in the area have revealed the presence of several other similar shrines/structures from the same period.
The Neolithic period (10,000–5,000 B.C.E.) is well represented and is known internationally for several important sites. Catalhöyuk, in southern Turkey, is the largest and best preserved Neolithic site. Reaching its peak around 7,000 B.C.E., the site has evidence of plant and animal domestication and large permanent settlements. At the site of Göbeklitepe, in the southeast, archeologists uncovered a mountain-top sanctuary dating to around 9,000 B.C.E., making it the oldest identified religious structure in the world.

Danny: Ha...ha...heh heh...Ha Ha Ha.. Aha HA HAHAHA!!
Homura: Danny you.....
Punch: ................
Danny: It’s true, I can block out the pain! I don’t feel any pain anymore! This is what it feels like to be the fully ghost!
And that's what it means behind Danny's words.
Sonic: Daniel....! Your eyes and your pact....!
Danny: The balance of hope and despair in the world cancels out to zero. Now I finally understand what that meant. Sure, I managed to save a few people, but in exchange, hatred and jealousy filled my heart. I even hurt my best partner...Whenever we pray for someone's happiness, someone else must be cursed in exchange... Turns out that's how this world works and also the hero of justice...I...really am...
*Sonic rushed to hug Danny.*
Sonic: You're not stupid! You're not a failure! I know what you're feeling now "Danny"! I felt the same way. I was once like you! You wanted to kill me right? I understand! I also once tried to kill Punch and Peter with my own power! That time I couldn't control myself my curse was far too strong! I felt like I was torn apart and don't want to live anymore! You have value! Value no one else has! I declare it here and now. In the world, I have two partners right here and now! So that value will never change, for all eternity!
Danny: Sonic...you.....
Hero of justice is nothing but a hell to walk to. Nothing but losing someone you love and change your life forever.
Makes you become nothing but a selfish person.
Danny: Whenever we pray for someone's happiness, someone else must be cursed in exchange... Turns out that's how this world works and also the hero of justice
Peter: From Maru and Moro...and there is another picture. Er.....these are girl's clothes, right?
Gilgamesh: Hey! Stop looking at me like that! That time because I had no choice but to wear that you stupid!
Peter: Can you explain about Sonic's clothes? Is he okay with it?
Gilgamesh & Punch: He's okay with it!!
Peter: Umm.....okay--if you say so.
Punch: Cream gave Sonic the idea of being a florist. Because Sonic usually goes to sleep outside or runs in Greenhill, Sonic starts to plant many flowers and make Greenhill more alive. However, because he needs to hide from Eggman's view(if Eggman sees him, the fight will begin, and don't worry; he destroys everything in Greenhill again), he dresses up as the florist and sells flowers around the world.
Peter: Hmm.....you still have a soft spot for a kid, Gil.
Gilgamesh: And?
Peter: You are also a dresser.
Gilgamesh: I am genderless you stupid.
Peter: Uh.......why are you red then?
Gilgamesh: Who said anything that I feel embarrassed about, huh?
Peter & Punch: Yeah yeah we know.
Periwinkle: But that time my king was really super pretty even Peter was stunned by your beautifulness.
Punch: Wait, Peter was?
Gilgamesh: ----------
Enkidu: He's silent. Gil must been so embarrassing.
Peter: See?
Punch: There's nothing to be embarrassed about! We are genderless. Remember.
Peter: Your face turning red, Punch.
Punch: I-I am not you stupid!
Enkidu: Punch's dress is also okay, so how's your slumber party with Danny, Punch?
Punch: ------------
Peter: O-Okay okay! You two are perfect! I am so in love with your beauty!
Gilgamesh & Punch: ---------
Enkidu: That's not helping Peter.
Periwinkle: But on that time when my king dressed like women's cloth in disguise it's to talk with Enlil.
Peter: And to not let anyone know was King Gilgamesh himself.
Periwinkle: But can't believe everyone didn't know my king was actually here.
Enkidu: Yeah.....can't believe Enlil didn't know that was him until I was there. After that, I became friends with Shamash.
Gilgamesh: See that Shamash like that but he actually was the sun god that very jerk and pain me in my butt, even Nammu will be safe with Shamash's help, he's not worth it.
Enkidu: That's how you actually feel?!
Periwinkle: That's kinda so mean.
Gilgamesh: Who's care? He death. That's the matter?
Peter: So how about Danny?
Gilgamesh: Simple, he just wants me to be a normal "girl"---erm---he wanted to show her over and over this world has more----even more enjoyable things, enough to make any hardships seem like nothing. To be able to feel all the normal things as something normal.....he wanted to make Punch's happy and what it meant to be alive.
Peter: "It's true that you're selfish, you don't listen to other people, and you're full of problems. But, other than that, you're pretty normal. You're not broken, you're just like a normal girl." Right?
Gilgamesh: --------
Peter: You red again.
Gilgamesh: I can't show my weakness because now I am the king. All of this entire world belongs to me like my treasure. I must not hesitate so that no enemies which generations cannot overcome me. I am non-human, yet I cannot be non-human. We're alike, you, Danny, Punch and me. That's why I cannot cut ties together by fate, that link will never disappear.
Peter: Gil? Are you okay? This is not like you at all.
Gilgamesh: Maybe I'm not....I guess so....it's not like me.
Peter: *Turns to Sad face when Peter realizes how lonely and painful PUNCH is*
Punch: ................
Danny: It's true that you're selfish, you don't listen to other people, and you're full of problems. But, other than that, you're pretty normal. You're not broken, you're just like a normal girl.
Punch: --------------That's pretty mean. Am I really that selfish?
Danny: Uh huh. (I want her to know. There are so many things to do in this world, and although most of it is useless and meaningless, knowing those is part of the fun of being alive. ......I wanted to tell her. Even though she smiles like she's enjoying herself immensely, I wanted to show her that anyone can have that. I wanted to show her over and over this world has more----even more enjoyable things, enough to make any hardships seem like nothing. To be able to feel all the normal things as something normal.....I wanted to make her happy and what it meant to be alive.)

Tsofph Season 11(Chapter2 Shadow Path(Butterfly Effect)) (the prime world timeline)
Homura: Tsubasa......he's dead......what are we going to do.....?
Danny: That's why I had to go. If I don't do something.....both you and Punch will be dead.
Homura: But it's impossible! No one could defeat that thing alone! You'll just be killed, too!
Danny: But if there were no other choice, I know I'd never have the courage to do something like that.
Homura: Stop, Daniel!! I already lost Madoka......I can't lose you! I made a promise to Sam that I will protect you! Please, don't sacrifice yourself for me!! Listen.......Daniel.......let's just run away........there's nothing we can do, so........no one will blame you...
Danny: Homura...I am no longer to be called alive anymore....L was a being so powerful that I had to be erased from the timeline entirely. Even that "meddling" agrees with that.
Homura: But you had us! Arthur, Punch, Tsubasa and me! We're your friends! Very preciously!
Danny: That's why......I won't to do something pointless for this world again......Homura....I'm really glad I became friends with you. Even now, the fact that we were in time to save you from that monster. It's one of my proudest accomplishments. You three accept me for who I am.....I don't have any grief or sadness to be vanish to this world once again.....
Homura: Daniel.......
Danny: I'm sorry and thank you for everything, Homura.
Homura: No! Don’t go, DANIEL!!
Tsofph season 11(Chapter2 Shadow Path)
Danny: Aren't you not going to be afraid of that witch?
Peter: You mean Morgana?
Danny: Even she's changed to become Punch allies but don't forget She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love. Someone a kind-hearted individual, Morgana changed entirely, becoming evil after being corrupted by Morgause and being betrayed by her former friend, Merlin. She subsequently turned against her family and friends, even helping to cause the death of her own father; she was ruthlessly determined to take over Camelot and allowed nothing to stand in her way. Aren't you thought she might chop your head off again, right? She betrayed both Syaoran and Sakura's trust when they were King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.
Peter: That's fine.
Danny: What?
Peter: I think if we don't give her a second chance, it will be more painful not being able to believe than to worry about betrayal.
Danny: .................................
Peter: "Don't disappoint me! Just keep believing in what you believe! Like you keep believing in Punch! What about your vow to protect Punch and your people!?" It was you who told me that. Because of that...I saved both Pit and Morgana thanks to you.
Danny: Peter......then I ask.....when you found out about Morgana behind all of this, the destruction of Camelot....what did you think?
Peter: Huh?
Danny: She never mentioned it once and left King Arthur alone. Doesn't that bother you?
Peter: Talking about out of the blue, Danny.
Danny: Answer me......you as the first King Arthur. She pointed a sword at you once........
Peter: If I am Syaoran...well....that did make me both angry and sad a lot, but I think Morgana had her own reasons for doing that even turning on the Pendragon family. What King Uther did in the past is wrong that's why it is right for her to be judged like that one wants to become evil if not to protect someone you dearest the most.
Danny: "Become evil if not to protect someone you dearest the most." huh.......
Peter: I've also come this far with my own reasons too. So for now I'll just do what I can do as best as I can!
Danny: Do your best......huh.....that phrase never suited to me at all. So Peter chose the same path as I do.....After all, it's natural to protect the ones you love, isn't that right, Syaoran.

【 DannyMay 2017 】 「 May30th ~ Identification/Foreign 」
You see he’s too tired he cried but in foreign language
Don’t make him explain. JU
Daniel or "Danny" Fenton, also known by his superhero codename Danny Phantom, is the titular protagonist of the television series Danny Phantom. Originally an unpopular high school student facing ordinary teenage problems, Danny becomes a half-human/half-ghost hybrid during a lab accident via stepping into and activating his parents' Ghost Portal. Since then, Danny has taken on the role of a ghostly superhero to protect Amity Park and the world from the dangerous ghosts that escape the Ghost Zone while ensuring his alter ego "Danny Phantom" remains secret from all save his best friends, Tucker and Samantha, and his older sister Jazz.
Homura Akemi is a New Transfer Student in Madoka's class and a stoic magical girl with unknown motives. For whatever reason, she will go to any length to prevent Madoka from striking a contract with Kyubey. The true nature of her magical powers is unknown at first, with hints being gradually dropped over the course of the series before being fully revealed in the last few episodes; however, beyond her magic, she also wields conventional weaponry such as handguns and explosives.
commissions open
Samantha "Sam" Manson is Danny Fenton's closest and best friend and eventual girlfriend in the series finale. Responsible for the accident in which Danny gains his powers, she is also one of the first few people to know about Danny's ghost identity. She’s a self-proclaimed goth who’s fascinated with the subliminal and nether worldly and is a very outspoken ultra-recyclo-vegetarian.
Explanation 17(Analysis)
Not too long ago, I stated that I headcanon the entire Fenton family as neurodivergent. This led to quite a bit of discussion, and eventuall
Danny’s been shot at by his own parents, hunted, tortured, brainwashed, threatened with experiments and even actually been experimented on (counting the cloning experiments), almost died several times, listened to his parents talk about wanting to dissect him, watched loved ones die (even if they ended up being alright), and that’s not even mentioning some of the other stuff Vlad puts him through or the fact that he was ruthlessly bullied long before any of this happened. As Homura, she will protect Madoka at any cost. This means Homura tunnel-visions on Madoka and regards everyone else as a nuisance, having no qualms with them dying so long as Madoka survives. This naturally conflicts with Madoka herself trying to save everyone she can.
whats your favorite thing about danny phantom?
THE FACT THAT THIS POOR KID HALF DIED AND TURNED INTO SOMETHING HIS PARENTS DESPISE AND HOW
While i was thinking about The ultimate enemy, I remember how Dan lost control AFTER fusing with Vlad´s half ghost. Future Vlad told Danny t

Imagine being in middle school and your crush dies and you’re so upset that you kickstart a time loop and repeat the same month 100 times over trying to stop her from dying but unwittingly you make her more and more important to the universe’s continuation (because you have effectively created 100 timelines that are dependent only on the survival of your crush) and therefore her death becomes more and more devastating to the world as a whole in every new timeline and finally your crush sacrifices her life willingly to become a god and you’re the only one who remembers her and this depresses you so much that you construct a whole imaginary universe where your crush is alive and you trap yourself and the souls of your friends inside it and then when you realize it’s Not Real.
It's interesting how Dan's obsession with becoming more powerful seems to come from his Phantom part feeling like he wasn't strong enough to
Warning: The following has mentions of suicide. It is also a long post (~2.5k words), thus the read more, and includes linked sources. It wa
Anger in particular is often used to mask pain, sadness or other type of feelings. Dan or dark Danny carries that pre-existing sadness. Mix it with Danny's grief and you have a recipe for disaster. It seems the outer emotions consumed him and to fill that void he sought power. Homura is selfish. That is true and undeniable. However, all humans have moments of selfishness, and not all selfishness is inherently bad or wrong, same as not all selflessness is good. A person who puts themself first if they're going through a difficult time may be called selfish, but that does not make their actions bad. On the opposite end, spreading oneself so thin that they cannot care for themself may be called selfless, but that does not make what they are doing good. Both Danny and Homura does remake the world, which could be called selfish. But in doing so, they are selfless. They have the full ability to make the other do whatever they wants, but they did not. Homura erases some memories, yes, but does not exert full control over the others. If Homura wanted, she could use mind control to make them blindly love her. Instead, Homura's "selfish world" involves making Madoka human, something Madoka had previously asked for and something Homura believes she wants. As for Dark Danny, for "erases all memories" but he chooses not to control the others like Vlad but the opposite is destroying everything and resetting everything to zero like Homura did. Devil Homura and Dark Danny would have had to have broken themself inside, in order to continue with this self-indulgent new universe they created. So they constantly wears this expression like they are “dead inside”. Because they has to kill off their true nature in order to continue this uncharacteristic self-indulgence away from continuing to spritiually Fight.
Danny is part of a traumatized child that saw his own family and friends die, combine this with another ghost of a man who suffers from extreme loneliness and barely cares about others. Homura saw her friends die many times, suffers from extreme loneliness and barely cares about others as well. What you get is a very aggressive ghost who finds joy in hurting innocent and completely lacks empathy. But.. it´s there still one detail, they lack ¨humanity¨: They are not human. Dan mentions this a few times during the episode: about how he left his humanity behind.
" You know, if I had an ounce of humanity left in me, this would be a very touching little reunion. But of course, I surrendered my human half a long time ago."
In Tsofph Season 11(Chapter1 Secret Truth of the Past(Gilgamesh’s Journal))
“From the days of old there is no permanence. The sleeping and the dead, how alike they are, they are like a painted death.”
― The Epic of Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh himself causes much suffering by abusing his power as king and tormenting his subjects day and night. Enkidu is created to curb the king's energy and to alleviate the distress of the people. Gilgamesh's greatest joy in finding a true friend also turns into his greatest sorrow when Enkidu becomes ill and dies. Gilgamesh is inconsolable and his suffering drives him away from his palace and his city, in search of life everlasting. When a snake snatches away his last hope of living forever, he realises that life eternal is to be found in life here and now. The despair that Gilgamesh felt was because he saw death as an escape from his duty as the observer of humanity; in order to fulfill his mission completely, he was to observe humanity's path until its eventual end. Falling into depression and with his vigor gone, he sought out the Herb of Immortality, a spirit herb of perpetual youth and eternal life. He later also returned to the deep to retrieve the herb once more simply to complete his collection and for the off-chance he would ever be in a situation he could only tolerate as a child.
Homura: This is the herb you want so much...but then what will you do after that?
Gilgamesh: Maybe like you.....
Homura: But if you still go back......again and again.....
Gilgamesh: I chose to walk this path as King....even it would change me forever......I can't go back, Homura. Just like before.....together with Danny.
Homura: Punch.......
Gilgamesh: I won't rely on anyone anymore! I don't care if no one understands! I won't let Punch die like in Prime World timeline! I'll destroy everything by myself if I have to! And this time... I'll change the future...If the world wants to give me misfortune, I'll give misfortune back to the world!
Homura: Then I will help you.
Gilgamesh: What about Danny? He didn't remember what happened in the prime world timeline.
Homura: If we find Danny, he will gladly to join us and help us.
Gilgamesh: Are you sure? Maybe you will become an enemy of humanity.
Homura: Not maybe. We lack ¨humanity¨. We are not human. So this is mostly a show in order to make others avoid me, as well as a coping mechanism to avoid becoming attached to those whose deaths I saw many times.
Gilgamesh: That's right.....we already saw deaths so many times and maybe forever.......
From: Announce9(Tsofph Concept): Link
Original Punch was non-human but when she gave birth as human. She should be gender male but instate
The epic shows this through the repetition of the opening lines, and through its concurrent theme that to struggle against mortality and fate is a poor decision, one that causes harm to those around Gilgamesh and causes him to suffer. Mortality within the modern mindset is thus something against which humanity can fight, and one's fate is something that one can, and perhaps should, seek to change. (Source: https://scielo.org.za)

"I don't mind playing the villain role for a while"./"Syaoran....if you want to change the world, ultimately, you have to change yourself. If the world wants to give me misfortune, I'll give misfortune back to the world. That's all."
In Conclusion Relationships between Danny, Homura, Phantom and King Gilgamesh shortly(Announce10: Link)
Punch: Danny...Homura....I'm not like the rest of you.
Danny; Of course you are! But No! You're not! I'm serious. Back when we first met. I think maybe then I did think we were different. But I now I know that isn't true! You and I are alike in more ways than you know. You made me think of this and made me to accept my ghost form too.
Homura: Everyone has their own pain that can be hard for other people to understand. I get that you must have a lot circling around the head of yours. And that's okay, I am not like you. But regardless of all that, I'm......we're here for you, Punch. You're not alone.
Punch: Homura I.......
Danny: That goes for me too. We all want to be there for you. If you lose your way and can't find your dad and mom, I will guide them to you.
Punch: Umm.....but the earth's so big to find you know.
Danny: But they still stay on Earth and never vanish right? Even though the earth's so big the earth still has a place to return to unlike the universe, right?
Homura: I agree with this one. I can think of this place as home now because of you, Punch. I mean....that's what friends are supposed to do, right? I learned a lot from Madoka.
Danny: I'll always be with you, Punch. Remember, even we're not here in front of your eyes. You're not alone.
Peter Pan in Tsubasa of Phantasia didn't want to grow up because he didn't want to lose relationships(Memories of the past) with friends or he didn't want to change to become something else(This fear is the same as Punch and Gilgamesh afraid of death. And that's why Peter Pan would never let go of Tinkerbell, the only family he has now.) but after he met Wendy and Zelda.
Translate: Peter said, "You changed." I think it's all about Wendy's words when asked. “Not really, Not ever.” Wendy was the one who loved P
Peter: You've changed.
Wendy: Not really. Not ever ...
Peter Pan is immortality but he knows he will lose them someday, if he makes a connection with them. Peter decides to go out into the Outside world with Tinkerbell. And the first friend that Peter will never forget, a precious memory that brings him back to the duties of King Arthur, is "Syaoran". And that time after that from season 1 to season 5, Peter chose himself to not shut down or protect himself to exist. Because of that decision he finally finds the someone he looking for for so long is Punch and this time Peter won't let go of Punch and will continue to protect Punch.
As you can see in comics EP18.1 and EP12.1. Tinkerbell really loves Punch even though she trusts her to be by Peter's side.
From The Troubl
When Tinkerbell see this Relationship between Peter and Punch Tinkerbell comes to support Peter as well because Peter's not different from her.
Once Tinker Bell finds parts of a music box on the beach and figures out how to put them back together. Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta witness her doing this, then tell her that she was tinkering and that she should be proud of her talent. They tell her that if this is what she is good at, then the Mainland should not matter. Regardless of what they say, Tinker Bell is still set on going to the Mainland. She asks Rosetta if she will still try to teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says she thinks that tinkering is Tinker Bell's talent.
Tinker Bell decides to leave Pixie Hollow because of the destruction she caused, but after talking with the dust-talent fairy Terence about how important his job is, she realizes the importance of being a tinker. Tinker Bell redeems herself by inventing machines that quicken the process of decorating flowers, ladybugs, etc. This allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus saving the arrival of spring. Tinkerbell and Vidia quarrel causing Vidia to admit in front of the other fairies that she told Tinkerbell to capture the thistles. This leads Vidia to being punished by Queen Clarion. Queen Clarion also allows Tinker Bell to join the nature-talent fairies when they bring spring to the Mainland. More specifically, Tinker Bell is given the task of delivering the music box to its original owner (shown to be Wendy Darling). The narrator ends by saying that when lost toys are found or a broken clock starts to work, "it all means that one very special fairy might be near."
We're already "special" since we were born and don't hate the life you born into this world.
Tinkerbell: Yes. Because I’m a tinker. It’s who I am. And tinkers fix things. But I can't do it alone.
Tinkerbell and Punch together heal Peter Pan's wound from his cruel fate in the past like Syaoran and the burden of King Arthur. From now on Peter accepts to grow up but does not change his personality and that makes him become a hero once again.

Finding the North Star also mean Our Conquest on The Ocean of Stars
Enkidu: Tools need not the northern wind or the sun
But eventually, Punch and King Gilgamesh knew that couldn't last forever. In the end, he will be alone.
Not different in Sonic X Episode 39 how Sonic felt.
They accept the truth in this world or death or the cycle of rebirth and death. They can't accept the way that should be because they're not in that part and not humans. They're like stars that they will be the same.(#the shining stars who give hope) Even when the light vanishes into the darkness, they remain the same. That's why at first they didn't want to make a relationship with anyone. But they didn't understand why they needed someone by their side to guide them. Many planets still receive the light from those stars that shine so brightly. But because without planets, there would be nothing to see just like the sun and the moon, we wouldn't be able to see each other and the beauty of this earth without light.
Peter: When you need a reason to keep going, I'll remind you. And if you want to be the star in the sky. I can be your "earth"
That's the reason behind why King Gilgamesh never abandoned the earth. And....Sonic, Punch and King Gilgamesh are the stars and they(the stars) need a place for them, Syaoran, Peter and Danny are the earth.
Journal for the History of Astronomy: Source
Some concepts in the history of astronomy have seriously affected the development of science and culture in many regions. The concept of zodiac is one of them. The zodiac as a band of constellations, within which visible motions of the Moon and planets occur, played an important role in the astronomy of ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Greece, and countries of Islam. The ideas associated with the zodiac had not only astronomical but also astrological and religious significance. The history of Mesopotamian zodiac is of particular importance, since it had a direct impact on the formation of ideas about the zodiac in ancient Greece and in Islamic countries, and through them in Europe.
The history of the Mesopotamian zodiac is a long and carefully studied issue.1 It is subdivided into two key problems closely related to each other: (1) the discovery of the band of zodiacal constellations through which the Sun, Moon, and five planets move, and (2) the division of the zodiacal band into 12 equal parts to form the so called uniform zodiac used in mathematical astronomy. Sources related to the history of zodiac are cuneiform texts of various types (not only astronomical), dated mainly from the first millennium BC. This article will investigate just one aspect of the zodiac history—the question of when and how a system of 12 zodiac constellations was developed in Mesopotamia. We also set the task of identifying traces of this system directly in cuneiform sources. Surprisingly, in the existing historical and scientific literature this question has not been studied yet. But when examined in detail on the basis of authentic sources, the answer to this question might appear to be not so simple and not so obvious.
The three main astral symbols represented on the kudurrus: a) crescent; b) sundisk; c) star.
Examples of patterns represented on the kudurrus reliefs: a) linear pattern; b) 'triangular shape' pattern.
As you can see From: The Astral Family in Kassite Kudurrus Reliefs:: Iconographical and Iconological Study of Sîn, Šamaš and Ištar Astral Representations. These three symbols will be important and hint at the future.
Everyone needs a Grandmother Willow in their yard. She is a source of protective, timeless wisdom you can rest under when life becomes completely overwhelming. And for me, that’s exactly what life has felt like. But if I had a Grandmother Willow in my yard, I feel like she’d tell me, “It’s okay to rest,” and, “You already have all the power and answers you need within you.”
I don’t have a Grandmother Willow in my yard unfortunately, but I do have a small garden. And everyday it teaches me how even small things can be extremely powerful. How life can adapt and thrive, within elements capable of causing damage or destruction. And how, with a little nurturing care, growth and beauty can flourish.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed like I am, and are in need of shelter and rejuvenation, consider the peaceful wisdom Grandmother Willow offers. Take some time this week to rest, even if it may only be for those few, tiny minutes. Find a place that subdues the raucous of the world, and send yourself (and this globe) some much needed love.
As for Sora, Riku and Kairi in this comic's appearances came from Kingdom Hearts when Sora, Riku and Kairi Discussed other worlds being out there.
In the Destiny Islands, Kairi lives peacefully with her friends Sora and Riku, who playfully compete for her attention. She appears to have no memory of her life before the Islands, and her mysterious past sparks curiosity in Sora and Riku, who are anxious to leave Destiny Islands and see other worlds. This leads the trio to build a raft in the hopes of travelling to other worlds.
