==[Brainstorming]== for cheats units

It must be clear that it is not exactly the same God. It must be clear that it is not exactly the same god but their equivalent. Nor can we say that one god's culture copied another; that does not exist in the ancient world. I am also a little into theology, mythology and things that have to do with the metaphysical world. Then I heard about an author who said that basically Zeus was a kind of Baal. Storm god who lives on a mountain. Or Marduk and Baal, even same mythological lore or almost same. The same thing happens, for example, in the Mediterranean with the mother goddess, among the most famous of which is Isis. Isis can be found from Spain to Arabia.- 180 replies

In fact, the cherub or keruv is a being well known to us from ancient eastern iconography. It was not a winged man. Nor was it a little flying putto or baby boy. It was, in fact, a being combining human characteristics with traits of fierce animals and birds. This hybrid creature seems to have represented a solar or stellar deity. The best-known example is the great man-headed lion the ancient Egyptians called Re-Hor-Akhty – ‘Ra-Horus of the two horizons’ – better known nowadays as the Great Sphinx of Giza. Actually, the Egyptians do not seem to have had a general name for these creatures. (‘Sphinx’ is a Greek word.) They seem just to have called them by the name of the deity they represented. But they had many of them, with and without wings. King Tut-ankh-amun’s throne, for instance, is upborne by winged sphinxes. CHERUBIM IN THE EAST The Assyrians, to Israel’s north-east, fashioned similar images. The entrance to the palace of King Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) at Nimrud featured two colossal winged man-headed lions. They now stand proudly in the British Museum. But there were bull lamassu too. The palace of Sargon II in Khorsabad had two colossal man-headed bulls. They now stand in the Louvre (see picture). The ‘Ain Dara temple in northern Syria, which stood from about 1300 to 740 BC, also had man-headed, eagle-winged, bull-bodied lamassu on each side of the entrance. Further east, Persian sphinxes featured the head of King Darius upon a lion body. This was just in case anyone doubted: the king was also a stellar deity. Back in the Holy Land, the king of 13th-century BC Megiddo sits on a throne supported on each side by lion-bodied lamassu: stellar deities to attend a heavenly king. His queen offers him a lotus blossom, the symbol of eternal life. A shapely concubine sings to him with the harp. Guinea fowl play at his feet. He sips his wine, unaware that the sword of Joshua is raised to cut him from his celestial throne. Israel’s keruvim were guardian deities, manifestations of heavenly bodies, bestowing divine protection upon the king. Since Israel was so near to Canaan in every way, it is likely that the ancient Israelite keruvim looked a bit like the winged lions beside the Megiddo throne. -

Cherubim associated with the stars called lamassu or shedu, which had composite form, with human head, ox or lion body, and eagle’s wings—thus, sphinxes or winged bulls. It’s especially striking how similar these mythological creatures are to the biblical descriptions of cherubim, which also have parts that appear like human beings, lions, oxen and eagles. Some contend that the Hebrew krub or a related Near Eastern term is the origin of the similar sounding Greek gryps, whence derives the term gryphon or griffin—an eagle-headed lion. It’s been pointed out that “the human-bodied Hittite griffin . . . unlike other griffins, appear almost always not as a fierce bird of prey, but seated in calm dignity, like an irresistible guardian of holy things” The same study Bible noted on the cherubim atop the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 25: “These sculpted creatures are most likely winged sphinxes known from a number of other sites throughout the ancient Near East . . . Such composite creatures have been found in temples and shrines and are often arranged as if guarding the entrance. Their purpose seems to have been protective—to prevent, perhaps only symbolically, unauthorized individuals from entering space where they were not allowed. “In the Exodus tabernacle, the creatures seem to function as protectors of Yahweh’s presence. They are the last barrier between any possible human entrant and the divine presence. It is not out in front of them but ‘between’ them, says Yahweh, that ‘I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites’ (Exodus 25:22). It is therefore also significant that winged composite creatures are found flanking the thrones of kings in the ancient world” -

Sasanian Asvaran (knight). During the time of the Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire, both Roman soldiers and Sasanian knights wore advanced armor suited to their respective combat styles and environments. Here's a comparison highlighting the superiority of Sasanian knight armor: 1. **Materials and Construction:** -Roman soldiers primarily wore lorica segmentata (segmented plate armor) or lorica hamata (chainmail), which provided decent protection but could be heavy and restrictive. - Sasanian knights, on the other hand, wore lamellar armor, consisting of small rectangular plates laced together with leather cords or metal rings. This design offered flexibility, durability, and better coverage compared to Roman armor. 2. **Protection and Mobility:* Sasanian lamellar armor provided excellent protection against both slashing and piercing attacks while allowing greater freedom of movement compared to the segmented plate armor worn by Roman soldiers. Roman armor, although effective, could be cumbersome and limit mobility, especially during prolonged battles or in rough terrain. 3. **Helmet Design:** -Roman soldiers typically wore the iconic Galea, a helmet with various designs depending on the period. While offering good protection for the head, it had limited visibility and ventilation. - Sasanian knights wore helmets with a conical or rounded shape, often adorned with protective face masks or cheek guards. These helmets provided adequate protection while allowing better peripheral vision and airflow, enhancing comfort during combat. 4. **Offensive Capabilities:** - Sasanian knights were adept horsemen and often used composite bows in addition to their melee weapons. Their armor allowed them to maneuver swiftly on horseback while maintaining protection. - Roman soldiers relied heavily on their shield (scutum) and short swords (gladius) for close-quarters combat. While effective in formations, Roman armor was less suited for mounted warfare compared to the Sasanian lamellar armor. Overall, the Sasanian knight armor was superior to that of a Roman soldier at the time due to its combination of protection, mobility, and versatility, especially in the context of mounted warfare.
