Info

The three sites are united by date, script, language, and two names of Old World gods both with solar functions. The proximity of the sites also help to tie them together. The inscriptions led to the discovery of the alignments in all three cases. The alignments confirm the translations. The translations were done by four different people. I believe the evidence makes a compelling case and cries out for careful examination by others. These sites constitute extremely important sources of history. Much more study is needed. There are more inscriptions which may help to resolve unanswered questions. There is much material which has not yet been studied. Investigators are invited to come work on these sites and I will be glad to do all I can to assist them. ***** IN SUPPORT OF MITHRAISM 1) Light and shadow play on the sun god, a technique used extensively in Old World Mithraeums. 2) The use of a sun god with a seven-rayed crown as a central image is well known in the Old World Mithraeums. 3) The positioning of the sun god between ascending and descending lights is significant in Mithraic beliefs. 4) Star consellations are outlined in the quadrant of the sky holding the constellations most critical to Mythraism. Many are used similarly in the Old World. 5) The constellation Perseus/Mithras is used to represent the sun god. See Ulansey (1989:45). 6) There is a parallel use of the equinox in Oklahoma and in Mithraism. 7) The translation of the inscription in Anubis Cave 3 parallels the doctrine that Mithras spent six months on each side of the equator. 8) The name Sol is regionally present, being written in the Sun Temple. 9) The image of a phallus is next to the sun god, representing the god’s procreative power of fatherhood. The seventh and highest grade of Mithraism is that of Father. Those who hold this grade are considered to be representatives of Mithras himself. 10) Symbols for all seven grades of Mithraism are present at Anubis Cave 2. 11) Mithras rules the daylight hours. Varuna/Anubis, a co-dominant figure with the Anubis Cave 2 sun god, rules the night and is a known companion of Mithras in the Old World. Varuna and Anubis are non-indiginous to the New World. 50
ADDENDUM 1. During a visit to the Anubis caves on 10 September 2005 I was able to photograph a new Ogam inscription I first saw on the day of the summer solstice of the same year. I have included a photograph of it. The inscription is in Anubis Cave 2 and is best seen with a high intensity light held at a low angle to the inscription. The first two letters appear to read as S-L. This may be another reference to Sol the sun, or sun god. Figure 31. Faint Ogam inscription recently found in Anubis Cave 2. The first two letters appear to be S-L. More study is need to be certain of the other marks. 2. The female figure among the constellations of Anubis Cave1 is carved with a tall pointed hat. Mallory and Mair describe that type of “witches” hat worn by Indo- Europeans in East Central Asia and stipulate that their owners were either priestesses or royalty (2000:179,220). Elizabeth Wayland Barber compares the hats from Cherchen in East Central Asia to those of Phrygia and considers the possibility their origins may be linked (1999:34). The similarity of hats and mythic females associated with the same constellations is worthy of further investigation. 51
