I hate that I ruined it. Your school's secret is safe with me. With regret, Landon. [VOCALIZING] DORIAN: Trying to make a run for it? [CHUCKLES] Yeah. I just noticed this gate wasn't locking the other day. You worried about people getting out? I'm worried about what might want to get in. We've gotten cozy here. Careless. I'd forgotten the world is full of nasty surprises. I don't know what the story is behind that knife, but whatever it is, I [EXHALES] saw something today I never thought I'd ever see in this lifetime. And it scared me. You know, I opened this school to protect these kids. To protect my daughters. How am I supposed to protect them from stuff that's not supposed to exist?

The house and foundation of heaven and earth. Ziggurat means mountain top and became shrines later. Their lower temple housed a god in half animal half human. Omg, what they did as no man could look at him himself as they were mortal but a chosen one. So that’s where that crazy came in the mixing gods and man. And the street death trap of the interior citadel. Lol made with limestone and bitumen. That’s female ley line for the men soldiers. Clever procession street. Wonder why Hebrews said vain glory hatred but it was the Persian who destroyed it. I’m thinking the replacement of stone to brick. That’s vainglory. And built in a hollow/sachn/the pan. [/quote] Huh, didn’t realize the story of Daniel in the lions den was the capture of Ishtars dragon. Her gate was not decorated with the lion of herself but with the bull and dragon symbols. Bull was sacred to ramman, god of weather. The dragon/serpent griffon was somewhat representative of siris/sirrush, the fabled creature sacred to Marduk. See, Daniel evoked Yahweh in the lions den showing impotence of the dragon before the “living god”. Then became destined to become Christian deity of future millennia. The priests captured the dragon like animal and kept him in the twilit temple room. [/quote] This goes next to this, the school of the dragon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholomance [i]The Scholomance (Romanian: Solomonărie) was a fabled school of black magic in Transylvania, which was run by the Devil. The school enrolled about ten students to become the Solomonari. Courses taught included the speech of animals and magic spells. One of the graduates was chosen by the Devil to be the Weathermaker and tasked with riding the dragon to control the weather. The school lay underground, and the students remained unexposed to sunlight for the seven year duration of their study. The dragon (zmeu or balaur) was kept submerged in a mountaintop lake, south of Hermannstadt (now Sibiu in Romanian) according to some accounts. The duration of their study was 7 years[8][6] or 9 years,[2] and the final assignment for graduation required the copying of one's entire knowledge of humanity into a "Solomonar's book".[2] Students there shunned sunlight for the 7 year duration of their training. By some accounts, one of the ten graduating students would be chosen by the devil to be the Weather-maker (German: wettermacher), and rides a dragon (zmeu in Romanian)[15] to run his errand,[7][9][1] and every time the dragon glanced at the clouds, rainfall would come.[11] But God[dubious – discuss] made sure the dragon would not weary, because if it plummeted, it would devour a great part of the earth.[11] The solomonari's dragon was however a balaur according to a Romanian folklorist's account.[16])[/i] [/quote] [/quote]

Duat (pronounced "do-aht") (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The Duat was the region through which the sun god Ra traveled from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep. It was also the place where people's souls went after death for judgement, though that was not the full extent of the afterlife.[1] Burial chambers formed touching-points between the mundane world and the Duat, and spirits could use tombs to travel back and forth from the Duat.
