Trying to work out your angel! (I meant angle!)

I don't understand, not many understand the myths or the doctrine, and I try to keep it academic.  Here are some examples, I have over 100K words of it and have been a bit distracted.

During the period of the French Revolution Charles-Francois Dupuis, in three bulky volumes “On the Origin of all Forms of Worship” (1794), Developed the Idea that the Primary Source of Religion was the Spectacle of Celestial Phenomena and the Ascertainment of their Correspondence with Earthly Events, and he undertook to show that the Myths of all peoples and all times were nothing but a set of Astronomical Combinations. According to him, the Egyptians, to whom he assigned the foremost place among “the Inventors of Religions,” had conceived, some Twelve or Fifteen Thousand Years Before Our Era, the division of the Ecliptic into Twelve Constellations corresponding to the Twelve months.

It is said of Solon the Greek law-giver, that when he visited Egypt, six hundred years before Christ, he had a talk with the priest of Sais about the Deluge of Deucalion. The following is Plato’s account : “Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age, said, ‘O Solon, Solon, you Hellene.’ Solon, hearing this, said, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean to say,’ he replied, ‘that in mind you are all young ; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient Tradition, nor any Science which is Hoary with Age. And I will tell you the reason of this : there have been, and There Will Be Again, many Destructions of Mankind arising out of many causes. There is a story which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Phaeton, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father’s chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the Earth and was himself destroyed by a Thunderbolt. Now, this has the form of a Myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the Earth and in the Heavens, and a Great Conflagration of things upon the Earth recurring at long intervals of time.” “Dialogues,” XI, 517, Timaeus.

Ishtar was originally good, personified, she was known as ‘the Mother,’ for the reason that she seemed to give birth to All the Sky Phenomena. She was also known as the Brilliant Goddess, and as the Mistress of the Mountains. Afterwards she became Violent, and the Verdant Earth under her greenhouse roof trembled. Thus she lost her good character, and the Assyrians, seeing her Transformation, henceforth considered her the Goddess of Battle and war. Her character is like that of the good Cherub of Ezekiel, who afterwards became a menace and terror. Thou art the anointed Cherub that Covereth ; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the Holy Mountain of God ; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the Stones of Fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast Created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with Violence, and thou hast sinned : therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the Mountain of God : and I will destroy thee, O covering Cherub, from the midst of the Stones of Fire.   Ezekiel 28 : 14-16
