This is what’s left of the inscription from the Parisian navigators:
Tib(erio) Caesare
Aug(usto) Ioui Optum[o]
Maxsumo
nautae Parisiaci
publice posierunt
Tiberius became emperor in 14 AD. Here you see Cernunno depicted with crab leg horns just like Pontus, the personification of the ocean and begetter of the Telchines, who, if you’ve seen my podcast on the Sons of the Sea, you know are personifications of the Phoenicians. Pontus corresponds to Poseidon and Neptune, or the sun in spring (leaving Pisces and entering Aries). Those who’ve read The Holy Sailors learned that the name Telchinis (Latium Rhodes) is derived from the Phoenician word Talchis, an enchanter.
The difference between depicting Cernunnos with horns like crab legs vs horns of the stag is merely the difference in reckoning the year at the vernal equinox vs reckoning it at the Yule or winter solstice.
But, if you recall in July’s End with Black Swans, the horns are symbolical to radiance and shining, tracing back to India but perhaps originating in Europe, the root word qrn (or krn), keh’-ren, signifying both a horn and rays of light, found in Kronos. Appreciate the affinity of this word to Qur’an.
The significance of this pillar is that it depicts Esus at the beginning of the first century, which is one of the archetypes they used to convert into Jesus. A well-known section in Lucan's Bellum civile (61–65 CE) refers to gory sacrifices offered to a triad of Celtic deities: Teutates, Hesus (an aspirated form of Esus), and Taranis. Teutates is Tot/Buddha/Thoth/Turms/Hermes/Mercury. Hesus is Mars. Taranis is the Phoenician Thor. This is all syncretized in The Holy Sailors, which is a must-read if you have any ancestry pertaining to Britain, Italy, or the Iberian Peninsula, and are interested in the real way conversion on a mass scale is done.
The Celtic Triad is the Trinity, which comes from Trimurti, the context of which is Eko Deva Trimurti, One God, Three Forms, not Three Gods in One. They are three aspects of the sun during the most significant times of the year (the equinoxes, which determine the sowing and reaping of the harvest, and the winter solstice, the time of year that you must have prepared for or it would be fatal), not three planetary bodies such as the polestar, the sun, and the moon. Nothing in the heavens determines the seasons all over the world other than the sun. The Trinity in Mexico is the same: three images of the sun. Read my latest book Spirit Whirled: Terminalia to see what was discovered there regarding the ancient universal system.
Next is Smertrios, who is another God of War archetype. Smer is philologically an anagram for Mars. Trios signifies three. Doesn’t matter whether it is Vulcan, Thor, Hercules, Esus, etc., they are all depicted with the club of Janus, the year reckoned at the winter solstice: January, because it is the sun that reckons the year and nothing else. “The lion is dead and great is our deliverer (savior), the son of man, who is the son of God, named Hercules.”
