Where's the original? That's the sky, the line coming at an angle is the ecliptic, the yearly apparent path of the Sun, which makes sense for a solar deity. Although many knew the Earth is round, they didn't really represent it as such, nor did they usually think it needed to be held. On the other hand, the sky was often represented as a sphere (since one sees the sky "turning" and showing different constellations through the year), and since it's up, it needed to be held somehow in many myths.

When are you going to share with us the vast knowledge you have acquired from the multitude of books you have read on the matter? Besides, I've already blatantly exposed the real agenda of whom you are quoting  (and yours too, apparently):

don't discuss with pro female lol, they are blind by ideaology    i told them for their pick the characters were very minor and they still blind 

I'm starting to work on some illustrations of the shields. The drawing still needs some effects. This is Malak-Bel, the solar god. I made him look similar to Helios in the drawings and poses. With one hand he prepares to speak/bless, and in the other I believe he holds the world.

Just don't put a license with it. I am not sure if we can include it in 0ad then, unless a human makes the changes, maybe check this out: https://seisan.com/ai-generated-code-intellectual-property-ownership/
