Extrapolation
The umbrella is a fascinating historical item. From its genesis on the shores of the fecund Tigris to its suspicious use in the O'Donnely murder, this humble object has withstood the test of time. Common price-gauging by the umbrella vendor at storm's break attests to the economical influence of need. It is not merely a bit odd that the word "umbrella" in its myriad forms--the parisol and the parapluie of the French, the brolly and ombrio of the British and the Italian--has a sinister origin. Umbra is the latin word for ghost ... [text missing] ...
Theorists of the inverted parasol generally fall into one of two camps.
- 1. Inverted umbrellas were initially employed for use in the various forms of impalement seen in Chemosh of Moab rituals until certain priests, genuinely desperate about this cruel lottery or bought with bribes by frightened parents, sought to refashion some of the rituals to occasionally free one of the sacrificial infants and prepare him for a life of leadership. The rush of the Minoan calender reform of 2912 B.C. added 27 new sacrifices to the annual schedule, much to the dismay of the by then somewhat-organized tribesman (see Theseus Mantos' Calender challenges and dialogues of descent). The elders recognized it as less of a move to please the Molechian altar than one of political expediency. It is of little wonder that this violent ritual would find itself under constant attack from within and was constantly being maintaned by a priesthood growing distant with each seasonal performance. Under dire situations caused by famine and war the priesthood would often find themselves at odds with the general populace. The priests stonewalled and entagled the elders with layers of red tape and middle-management incompetence and thus further excused themselves from responsibility by off-handedly creating the white-collar trade of lawyerhood and his poobian partner the lobby darling. Etymologists will find a wealth of coincidence in the relationships of the many different and seemingly disparate lexicons obfuscating their power plays through the distance language of bureacracy and separatism.
- 2. Until the rise of the Bureaucratic monarchies of the first half of the second millenium BC, evidence suggests that the Cretan states had championed the least distorted version of Molechian sacrifice. Topheth in the Bible. Both Cretan and Isreali topheths (the area is a graveyard of sorts, where the infanticidal ashes are placed in an urn) have been found to contain excellent artwork depicting the umbrella both as a symbol of impalement (parosolis) and as a net or receptacle (parabola). The reliefs also add a layer of complexity due to its rich economy of imagery usually attributed to the Babylonian god Nut (Nuit). This evidence as well as the bronze ovens of the Himmonon Valley have confirmed the migration of this philosophy of the child set aside. Philaneus suggests that many threads of this movement spread throught the mid east and the western ends of the mediterenean, especially Crete and Minoa. A wealthy amount of evidence supports the theory that Molechian cults were so prevalent that even the Yahweh cults found a need to dabble (circa 736-720 B.C.)
