<p>[QUOTE=&quot;opoe, post: 284650, member: 5459&quot;]Baal and Reshef seem to resemble each other a lot,&nbsp; and the upper half of the statue I am interested in matches quite well... only both baal and reshef seem to be walking while the other one does not(might be because this one is more primitive).</p><p>Baal is holding some sort of weapon in some examples, in others a lightning rod...he was the god of war after all... and of fertility, weather, rain, lightning, patron of sailors(for the phoenicians as sea faring people the most important god of all ofcourse)amongst other things</p><p>Reshef was the god of plagues and death, better keep him on your side, then he could also take the plague away again. He is not always depicted with both arms raised, so I think the chance that the statue is Baal is greater.[ATTACH=full]91444[/ATTACH] Baal holding a lightningrod and another weapon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, James, tell her the good news about my correct usage of the word! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
