DescriptionShamash-sun-symbol (3 rays).svg |
English: A slightly schematized/simplified version of one form of the ancient symbol of the Mesopotamian sun-god Shamash, with alternate pointy and wavy rays. According to Gods, Demons, and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia: An Illustrated Dictionary by Jeremy Black and Anthony Green (1992, ISBN 0-292-70794-0), p. 168, it occurs "from the Akkadian down to the Neo-Babylonian period", and "The Akkadian names of the symbol were šamšatu and niphu. It was often represented on a pole as a standard."
العربية: قُرص الشَمس، رَمز الإله شمش، أستُعمِلَ كَشِعار للدَولة مِنَ الفَترة الأكادية وصولاً إلى العَصر البَابِلي الحَديث. |
