The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This (Lyric)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM7MFYoylVs
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

Song has been on the radio awhile...a 'ring' in it when I heard it...that bit about Achilles, but I hadn't quite made out the lyrics...ears not good at hearing song lyrics!...nonetheless, a turn it up loud tune, and a favorite...so, so, I'm early at Angels stadium,,,this the game two nights back...7/25...night they won 11-2...(have this score/date wrong in the youtube upload...I always make mistakes in the descriptions...and haven't done a clip upload in awhile!)...but, but the song was playing before the game...like an hour before...a pleasant time to relax, look out at the view, and listen to the rock and roll songs played...loud outdoors!...turn it up...didn't know if camera video would capture the sense of the cathedral like clarion of noise, but it does...and going to the lyrics, and closer reading/listening...well, a fit...go figure...was just wanting to get a pic of the view from the 500s seatings...and that night the smoke clouds over Idyllwild...not sure if that was them...the clouds just to left of the lighting grid work...
hmmph...clip is wanting the fans in their seats...thought on that...still thinking on that!...on big nights, enough in the seats when the songs are playing to make the import of the clip different...but I dunno...I like it as it is...hand held clip...still have a steady hand...with the assist of the camera's stabilizer!...now, here is a curio...a whimsy...the stadium is nicknamed "The Big A"...when the stadium first opened, and for years afterwards, the A stood in left center, if I remember right...then it was moved to different place in the parking lot during different remodelings...old stadium now, but very comfortable, and easy to get to...not so bad getting out of either even on big nights...
quote
The sign was originally installed in 1966 behind the left field fence[1] but was moved to the parking lot in 1979 when American football's Los Angeles Rams started sharing the stadium with MLB's Los Angeles Angels.[2] The sign is also responsible for the nickname of Angel Stadium as "The Big A".

now, I went on about the letter A...how in the history of the alphabet, descended as it is from the Phoenicians, it may have originally came from the hieroglyph for a bull...bulls head with horns...it became stylized into an A...

and I got to looking at one of the Mysterion sites going on about the pentagram...
quote
Above is a pentagram colored to distinguish its line segments of different lengths. The four lengths — defined at the intersection of edges — are in golden ratio to one another. (The red is 1.618 times the length of the green; the green is 1.618 times the length of the blue; the blue is 1.618 times the length of the magenta.)

what popped out at me wasn't the colored lines, but the black ones...'that', I thought, 'that is that NASA logo thing the Mysterions go about'...brb...
quote
You’ve probably seen NASA’s so-called “meatball logo,” and wondered what it meant. Obviously, the blue sphere represents a planet. What about the red? I’d assumed the chevron stood for aeronautics, and once I heard it represented a certain constellation. But the truth is more interesting. Thanks to NASA’s latest free e-book titled “Emblems of Exploration: Logos of the NACA and NASA,” I just learned that the red shape was inspired by actual aerospace research programs of the late Fifties. It stands for this:
A three-quarter rear view of a wooden Langley display model showing the radical twist and camber of a supersonic arrow-wing design. Note the cobra-like raised nose at the upper right and the cambered, drooped trailing edges of the 75° swept wing at the left.

that'a curio...in a sec...need this first...hmmph...Mariners made out....now Trout on...didn't catch how...busy reading about ancient Greeks and their compass and straight edge...

The ancient Greeks thought that the construction problems they could not solve were simply obstinate, not unsolvable.[6] With modern methods, however, these compass-and-straightedge constructions have been shown to be logically impossible to perform. (The problems themselves, however, are solvable, and the Greeks knew how to solve them, without the constraint of working only with straightedge and compass.)
... ... ...
Squaring the circle has been proven impossible, as it involves generating a transcendental number, that is, √π. Only certain algebraic numbers can be constructed with ruler and compass alone, namely those constructed from the integers with a finite sequence of operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and taking square roots. The phrase "squaring the circle" is often used to mean "doing the impossible" for this reason.
Without the constraint of requiring solution by ruler and compass alone, the problem is easily solvable by a wide variety of geometric and algebraic means, and was solved many times in antiquity.

The ancient Egyptian measuring rope (the old term for "surveyors" was "harpedonaptae" or rope-stretchers) was treated to hold its length. It was stretched taut between stakes and then rubbed with a mixture of beeswax and resin. Some of the ropes depicted in hieroglyph were graduated by knots tied at intervals. Accuracy was creditable, according to a 1909 triangulation survey that tied some original boundary stones. The Egyptian crews set the stones to divide the fertile Nile delta, and the "rope" was indispensable for measuring the distances.
Plumb bobs were appreciated for their ability to furnish a true vertical line. The Egyptians employed plumb tools in their sighting and leveling instruments, and as a way to continue distances vertically. They exploited all the possibilities of the bob, using it for astronomy, navigation, surveying, and building. It was their "workhorse" tool.
The sighting instruments were the "merchet" and the "groma". The merchet was a staff with a wide notched top. The notch was a long slit through which the instrument operator aligned a fixed plumb-line and the "rope-men". This enabled them to measure long lines effectively. The groma was a right-angle device designed for laying out fields, much like the surveyor's cross of more recent times. Of the two, the merchet was more accurate, and it was probably used to survey the pyramids.

The Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. The ankh appears in hand or in proximity of almost every deity in the Egyptian pantheon (including Pharaohs).
... ... ...
Andrew Hunt Gordon and Calvin Schwabe, in their 2004 book The Quick and the Dead, speculated that the ankh, djed, and was symbols have a basis in "cattle culture" and with semen (thought to originate in the spine) being equated with “life”, with the ankh representing the thoracic vertebra of a bull (seen in cross section), the djed representing the sacrum of a bull's spine, and the was representing a staff made from a bull’s penis.[
... ... ...
A symbol similar to the ankh appears frequently in Minoan and Mycenaean sites.[where?] This is a combination of the sacral knot (symbol of holiness) with the double-edged axe (symbol of matriarchy)[9] but it can be better compared with the Egyptian tyet which is similar.

Sacral knot
Both goddesses have a knot with a projecting looped cord between their breasts. Evans noticed that these are analogous to the sacral knot, his name for a knot with a loop of fabric above and sometimes fringed ends hanging down below. Numerous such symbols in ivory, faience, painted in frescoes or engraved in seals sometimes combined with the symbol of the double-edged axe or labrys which was the most important Minoan religious symbol.Minoan snake goddess figurines

Inanna appears in more myths than any other Sumerian deity.[7][8][9] Many of her myths involve her taking over the domains of other deities. She was believed to have stolen the mes, which represented all positive and negative aspects of civilization, from Enki, the god of wisdom. She was also believed to have taken over the Eanna temple from An, the god of the sky. Alongside her twin brother Utu (later known as Shamash), Inanna was the enforcer of divine justice; she destroyed Mount Ebih for having challenged her authority, unleashed her fury upon the gardener Shukaletuda after he raped her in her sleep, and tracked down the bandit woman Bilulu and killed her in divine retribution for having murdered Dumuzid.

Inanna’s origins are very very old and date back well into the Neolithic age. It is believed that the Goddess-revering Al ‘Ubaid culture brought Her imagery with them when they settled in the region south west of the Euphrates river as early as the 6th millennium BCE, i.e. 8,000 years ago.

Rod and ring symbol[edit]
This symbol may depict the measuring tools of a builder or architect or a token representation of these tools. It is frequently depicted on cylinder seals and steles, where it is always held by a god – usually either Shamash, Ishtar, and in later Babylonian images also Marduk– and often extended to a king.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burney_Relief#Rod_and_ring_symbol

The Rod and ring symbol is a symbol that is depicted on Mesopotamian stelas, cylinder seals and reliefs. It is held by a god or goddess and in most cases is being offered to a king who is standing, often making a sacrifice, or otherwise showing respect.

The religion of Carthage in North Africa was a direct continuation of the Phoenician variety of the polytheistic ancient Canaanite religion with significant local modifications. Controversy prevails regarding the possible existence and practice of propitiatory child sacrifice in the religion of Carthage. However, a recent study of archeological evidence confirms this ritual.

Tanit[1] was a Punic and Phoenician goddess, the chief deity of Carthage alongside her consort Baal-hamon.[2][3] She was also adopted by the Berber people.
Tanit is also called Tinnit, Tannou, or Tangou. The name appears to have originated in Carthage (modern day Tunisia), though it does not appear in local theophorous names.[4] She was equivalent to the moon-goddess Astarte, and later worshipped in Roman Carthage in her Romanized form as Dea Caelestis, Juno Caelestis, or simply Caelestis.
