This is like reading a conspiracy theory. A lot of text signifying nothing.
Summarize it.
Are they? How do you know?
Or they could be things farmers see everyday. Is there any indication that these things are being used as allegories for moon?
Does it? Because I looked at the pictures given above and saw little resemblance.
And?
I still don't see this to mean that they regard that crescent as god.
Well, yes. But that's not the subject under discussion.

White-headed cow in the doorway watching.
The bull in the yard - the horns on the wall.
Bald bull looks through the gate.
Without the head, and with horns.
To be born with horns, then they lose.
All these about the moon.
Are they? How do you know?
(September 26, 2013 at 2:25 pm)Monolens Wrote: As the reference, you can read Rig-Veda – the ancient text known to humanity and you will see many allegories, where the moon is fully recognizable.
I will give short example:
Moving at morning like two chr-borne heroes, like to a pair of goats ye come electing;
Like two fair dames embellishing their bodies, like a wise married pair among the people.
Like to a pair of horns come first to usward, like to a pair of hoofs with rapid motion;
Come like two Cakavas in the grey of morning, come like two chariot wheels at dawn, ye Mighty.
Bear us across the rivers like two vessels, save us as ye were yokes, naves, spokes and fellies.
Be like two dogs that injure not our bodies; preserve us, like two crutches, that we fall not.
Like two winds ageing not, two confluent rivers, come with quick vision like two eyes before us.
Come like two hands most helpful to the body, and guide us like two feet to what is precious.
Even as two lips that with the mouth speak honey, even as two breasts that nourish our existence,
Like the two nostrils that protect our being, be to us as our ears that hear distinctly.
Goats (horned animals), horns, wheels, vessels, yokes, naves, spokes, fellies, eyes, hands, feet, lips, breasts, nostrils, ears.
All this objects can be logically connected only on one possible basis – The Moon.
Because this is the only object in the sky with shapes thet can be presented as a semicircle and circle at the same time. And it can be observed by any man without using special tools.
Or they could be things farmers see everyday. Is there any indication that these things are being used as allegories for moon?

What Americans do in Thanksgiving Day?
They break the wishbone. The tradition of breaking the wishbone comes from Europe, and is thousands of years older.
Look at this type of bird's bone. Geometrically its shape correlates with the shape of horns and other above noted objects. This is the angle.
Does it? Because I looked at the pictures given above and saw little resemblance.

That is why the Mosses is portrayed with horns on his head:
And?
(September 26, 2013 at 2:25 pm)Monolens Wrote: It is also noticeable that “karan” phonetically corresponds with Koran - well known holy book of people those symbol is the crescent itself.
Also the crescent is represented in Bible as the head-stuff which god told to Mosses to craft for the costume of archpriest Aaron.
I still don't see this to mean that they regard that crescent as god.

Well, yes. But that's not the subject under discussion.
