Summary[edit]
DescriptionStar of Shamash.png |
English: 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." For modern symbols which incorporate a version of the Shamash sun-symbol, see File:Flag of the Assyrian people.svg, File:Iraq state emblem CoA 1959-1965 Qassem.svg etc. |
