[quote:Anonymous Coward 32529098:MV8yMTE0NzA5XzM1NjcwNjgxXzUyQTU1QUQ3] I mentioned in Lincoln Vampire Hunter the ax is the symbol admittedly used by the director. [b]The axe is one of the most prominent symbols of the 22nd Degree of the Scottish Rite[/b] (Knight Royal Axe, [b][color=brown]Prins of Libanus)[/color][/b]. Such axes were said to have been used to cut down cedars used in the building of King Solomon's Temple, The Ark of the Covenant, and even Noah's Ark. The initials on the axe are those of Solomon and Noah, whereas the initials on the handle are those of Libanus and Tsidun, [b][color=green]Libanus referring to the area where the cedars were found (Lebanon), and Tsidun, the city whose people helped cut down the trees.[/color][/b] The initials on the one side of the blade are said to be those of Shem, [b]Ham[/b], Japheth (The three sons of Noah), Moses, Aholiab, and Bezaleel (who together led a large group of workers who worked in fine metals, rare wood, and precious stones). Initials on the other side of the blade are those of Adoniram (civil servant responsible for acquiring laborers), Cyrus (original issuer of decree allowing the rebuilding of the Temple), Darius (who re-issued Cyrus's decree and provided for all costs from royal revenue to rebuild the Temple), Zerubbabel (credited with the Temple's reconstruction), Nehemiah (who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls) and Ezra (who collected contributions from the Babylonian Jews). These initials, hence, all appear to represent the prominent people who, in their own ways, helped rebuild the Temple. Of all the symbolic meaning of the axe, it is most often used as a symbol of creation. [b][color=blue]As axes were closely associated with thunder[/color][/b], it also naturally became associated with rain, another important giver of life. Axes were also an essential tool in spreading civilizations. This is the context in which the symbol is used in the 22nd Degree. And did you see the symbol of TRIDENT as Zeus' thunder in Burton's Planet of the Apes? Perhaps you wanna take a better glance.. [/quote]

Curious Lincoln vampire hunter is at the movies very close to this Spielberg's "historial" Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln was 16th president from 1861 to 1865. J. A. Rogers quotes Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks, as saying that Abraham Lincoln was the illegitimate son of an African man. William Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, said that Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and that his mother was from an Ethiopian tribe. In Herndon's book entitled "The Hidden Lincoln" he says that Thomas Lincoln could not have been Abraham Lincoln's father because he was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated. Lincoln's presidential opponents made cartoon drawings depicting him as a Negro and nicknamed him “Abraham Africanus the First."
There are caricatures of the time depicting him like an ape maybe because he shared the same disease Akenaton pharaoh had: Marfan syndrome.
Maybe that's the reason Obama enjoys comparing himself with Abe as he enjoys being photographed with the Egyptian sphinx and pyramids.
Do you remember Burton's Planet of the Apes epiloque with Ape Braham Lincoln? What you probably DON'T REMEMBER is the previous film (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes) does have a scene where baby chimp (Caesar's son named Cornelius after his grandpa) writes something and gives it to his human teacher called ABE. The paper said
"ape shall not kill ABE"
in a tongue-twister reference to what was dictated
"ape shall not kill ape"....
well, Abe Lincoln was shot dead, wasn't he?
In Burton's movie Charlton Heston was uncredited and wore a make-up which took 12 hours in applying. Perhaps most of you don't remember Heston did Lincoln's voice in a movie long time before that simian adventure and played other presidents. Heston himself defended black people rights at that Lincoln monument along with mulato singer/actor Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier...
