NASA Sun & Space An apparent #RayedSunSymbol #petroglyph at Winnemucca Lake seems to depict the sun surrounded by its corona during a #TotalSolarEclipse .

If so, it's the oldest depiction of a total solar eclipse I know of, because the petroglyph is dated from 10-14 millennia old.

#Eclipsology

Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter The apparent #SolarSymbol on the shirt looks like it could be a type of #RayedSunSymbol that combines the red disk of the sun with the white rays of the sun's corona which are only seen during #TotalSolarEclipses .

Compare it with this composite photo that combines sun & corona.

Mary Cahill National Museum of Ireland I've been aware of this for some time now.

The same principles applies to viewing pots from above.

#TotalSolarEclipses can be, and have been, perceived as a 'hole in the sky'. When a pot has 'rays' evenly distributed around it's opening it *could* be a type of #RayedSunSymbol .

The Met: Ancient Near Eastern Art The 'divine symbol' is a #RayedSunSymbol .

#RayedSunSymbol s are inspired by ancient observations of the sun's corona during a #TotalSolarEclipse .

There were 2 #TotalSolarEclipse s above the eastern Mediterranean within a decade during the 7th century BCE.

Aidan Mary Cahill Why on Earth would a rath be 'more likely' to be depicted on a burial urn than the sun?

Or, more to the point. . . a #RayedSunSymbol inspired by & depicting the awe-inspiring 'death' & 'rebirth' of the sun during a #TotalSolarEclipse ?

Mary Cahill These are #RayedSunSymbol s .

The #RayedSunSymbol on the inverted urn is a 'radiant divine eye' symbol inspired by the fact that a #TotalSolarEclipse looks a lot like an 'eye of God'.

#TotalSolarEclipse s were perceived as the 'death' & 'rebirth' of the sun.
