She rejects material things and ascends the veil, climbing up toward the oculus, and emerges into a shiny New City. Now watch this J'adore perfume commercial featuring Charlize Theron inside Dome. Now, imagine you were ON the actual Dome of the Pantheon, looking down through the oculus.ĭo you see what I am saying? It looks like a Dome, from the perspective of being above the Dome, with the center hole being the oculus. maybe the Oculus symbolizes " True North - " In fact it is the most familiar feature in architecture. Think about ALL of the Capital buildings across states and cities. When the Pantheon was built, the only source of light was the oculus (eye) at the very top. In some ancient cultures, the sky was thought to be made of stone or iron, and this view was supported by the occasional fall of meteorites that were interpreted as objects of divinity since they came from the sky." What Homer wrote about Zeus defined the conception of him down through many centuries. The plays, poetry, and philosophy of the Greeks all depended a great deal on Homer. The works of Homer were the basis for a Greek education down through the Hellenistic period. The strength of the sky suggested by Homer's story implied it was rigid. In the Iliad 8:5-27, Homer has Zeus boast he is the strongest of all the gods, saying that if a golden chain were fastened to the sky, he could hold up all the other gods, sun and moon and earth and sea, so that they would dangle in mid-air, but all of them combined could not drag him down from heaven. That is why their "wisdom" maintained the sky was strong. The larger the sphere of heaven was thought to be, the stronger it would need to be, to keep from flying apart. It was necessary to postulate such a sphere since they denied the rotation of the earth. "The Greek philosophers taught that the sky was a solid sphere, which rotated, and held all the stars in place. In the Pyramid Texts, the image of the sky as an iron container of water that was also the sky goddess Nut’s womb resulted on the sign being used for metals (such as “iron”), womanhood (such as “uterus”), or water (such as “well”)." Īncient Egypt - notice boats on the outer dome (it depicts the after life)Īncient Egypt - Sky Goddess Nut, protecting Geb (earth), with beings ABOVE Among other things, it was a great bowl of iron holding an otherworldy ocean that the dead would sail across to reach the afterlife. This is how ancient Egyptians saw the sky. You would stare up into a cosmic bowl of iron, which sometimes cracked and sent shards of itself hurtling to Earth. "It sounds like a phenomenon that would happen in some bizarre alternate universe. Water above, and water below? "As above, so below." - Thoth, The Emerald Tablets. According to biblical cosmology, the firmament, seen as the sky from earth, is essentially a fixed upside-down container over the Earth, colored blue from the heavenly waters above it." According to Genesis 1:8, God called the firmament Heaven, giving it significance beyond just the border between the earth and beyond. As part of the cosmic design, the firmament is the formation above the atmosphere of Earth, understood as an immense stable arch. "In the story of creation, as found in Genesis, God formed the firmament to divide the " waters above" the earth from the " waters below" the earth. So, I'm going to give an example straight from the bible: I am not part of any religion, as I regard religion as a tool - but I also believe truth is scattered everywhere, so it's necessary to look. Where else to start but the alleged beginning. The description of a dome or a firmament (a solid sky), reflects ancient ideas.Ībove are visual concepts of the Earth from across the world. I mean, Earth could be a flat disc with a lid? Keep an open mind. but my belief does lean towards Space being fake - or at least the Space that is shown to us. I am not on a side of whether or not the earth is round or flat. It's interesting how much symbolism exists surrounding the idea. Disclaimer: This is not a post to convince anyone of a Dome/Firmament.
