Talk:Horned deity

Baal/ Beelzebub/ Beelzebul
When the Assyrians conquered UR, they invited all Baal worshipers to a feast, and locked them up & burned the temple and turned it into a public toilet. That's how Baal became the lord of feces or the lord of flies.

Has nothing to do with a Celtic horned god.

Baal is also a generic name for all non-YWHW gods the Isrealites were at war with. To read ancient history, you'd think Baal was worshiped everywhere, but truly the deities were local and had their own names & identities. It is from this practice, that any non Jehovah god is deified into a generic "devil" theory being that if they lose their names, they lose their power (at least in the minds of believers).

Baal Hamon ( The Phoenician god ) " Baal ( Lord ) Hammon (Brazier/Light) or Lord of Light
Please consider the very real possibility that 'Baal Hamon' had links to most of the 'Ram' Gods = Of North Africa, including 'Amon-Ra'. ('Bal Hamon - Amon'). Berbers / Amazigh have a very rich, albeit, poorly documented History regarding the worship of Phoenician god Bal Hamoon. I am no expert, however, a study needs to be carried out on the co-relations with Bal Hamoon and phoenician deities, corresponding with North African cultures and influences. As far as i am aware, Berbers/Numidians/Carthaginians and Egyptians had a strong relation. The Tamazight Language is one of the worlds Oldest languages that people are trying to conserve, including its artwork and metalwork which apparently, even reached Scandinavia and Britain during the Bronze age.

Consider the correlation with 'Bringer of Light' - 'Lucifer', Baal Hammon - Bringer of Light and the baphomet / Having association with a ram.

To add more spice to the mystery, as you may know, the Knights of Saint John ( Templars in Malta ) and other places, were accused of worshipping a Idol, believed to be the " Baphomet ". The " Baphomet" Apparently had Horns. Baal Hamon is known to wear headwear with horns. Libya and malta are not that far apart, and neither is the cultural gap. While i may be throwing stones into the lake, it is necessary to dig deeper and divulge a better picture of North African History, it may have played a large role in the shaping of Modern day.
