While excavating at the ruins, the team uncovered a plastered-over relief buttressing
the walls of the Mar Solomon monastery. When the team painstakingly revealed
the relief, they were surprised to find a completely unknown Roman deity.


The relief depicted a bearded man emerging from a plant or a flower while grasping a stalk. The unknown god may have been one of the sub-deities, or Baals, of the main god of the temple, Jupiter Dolichenus, a Romanized version of the storm god of the local population. The rosette and crescent, and astrological symbols in general, are all associated with Near Eastern religious traditions, whereas the bearded man's face was likely inspired by Roman traditions, said Gregory Woolf, an classicist at St. Andrews Unviersity in Scotland.

Yup, the BAAL 8-spoked sun wheel, and corn stalks (now wait a minute! lol) are a dead giveaway.

But how strange, I need to read about corn again... Neil Gaiman mentioned corn in Chaldea and it does sort of go against the grain of accepted common sense... but obviously others knew about corn hmm?

The image does not lie (in this case hehe)

Bible corn:

2 Kings 4:42

And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

The stalk is somewhat similar to corn, but the leaves are representative of some other plant. Notice that corn leaves are long, slender and droop.

I too enjoy reading Skywizard posts,

This discovery is a puzzle, but the 'corn' of the Bible and Eurasia was most likely barley or wheat. The famous Corn Laws of Britain in the 19th C were referring to wheat not American corn, which is known as maize. Corn was a sort of generic term for crops originally derived from grasses, perhaps in the Middle East.

The image discovered looks very Middle Eastern and possibly Assyrian or Egyptian. There were many gods and semi-divine entities in Roman times, and the Romans just added them to their collection! Are the discoverers sure of the dating of this find?

PS I have just seen ghostrider's suggestion--- it's brilliant and I love it! If it's not correct it should be.
