A number of interesting mythological objects are mentioned in the Semitic mythologies they are as follows:
Adamah: Also called “Hayula” in the Arabian tradition. Adamah was the dust or clay of creation used to make living things and was the namesake of Adam who is made from this mysterious red clay. Adamah likely relates to the golem mythology and interestingly in some mythologies vampires are said to revert to Adamah dust once slain.
Ark of the Covenant: A great chest (depicted left) made with ornate carvings of cherubim although since this artefact was likely pillages from Egypt during the events leading up to Exodus these characters are likely to be Isis and Nephthys. The Ark housed the Shekinah (holy spirit or bride of God), the ten commandments, a pot of manna and the Matteh of Moses. The Ark was said to allow communication between humanity and the divine it was last historically sited to have been lost in the English area of sea known as the wash during an attempt to move it out of the country that ended with a sunken boat.
Book of Life: A book kept by the angels of God that had a list of everyone ever borns name in it, in later Christian mythology having ones name written in the book conveyed immortality while having ones name erased from it caused death. There has been speculation to suggest this book may actually represent DNA and genetic encoding.
Brass Vessel: One myth relating to King Solomon states that he evoked and bound seventy-two demons into a brass vessel which he then had thrown into the red sea, the local people thought it was valuable gold and fished it out, opened it and released the demonic forces who quickly fled except Belial who stayed and demanded to be worshiped. This mythology had later impact on rituals involving brass vessels to capture and contain demons, the Arabic mythologies of genies bound to brass vessels and probably even the ancient Greek story of Pandoras box.
Crown of Immortality: A crown given to those who achieve ascension making them immortal and God-like. This likely relates to the Kabbalistic Sephira of Kether which means “Crown” and relates to union with God/the divine.
Hide of Leviathan: The hide of the great sea serpent Leviathan said to be the most impenetrable armour.
Holy Anointing Oils: These oils were used in the Tabernacle and then later in the temples of Jerusalem, a person or object coated in these oils became holy, this may relate to the term “Christ” which means “Anointed in the oils of flowers” and also the term “Messiah” meaning “Anointed One”. Originally only priests could use the oils but later kings were also permitted to use it. The oil was created from pure myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, olive oil and kaneh bosem. Kaneh Bosem was a fragrant cane plant most likely to be cannabis (depicted top row and central) which was known to be used by the Egyptians in rituals and was thus likely known to Moses there is also the fact that the plant in later history is refered to as “Cannabos”.
Horn of Gabriel: The horn of the angel Gabriel blown to signify judgement day when God returns to earth to resurrect the dead and pass final judgement on their souls.
Magen David: A shield in the shape of a six-pointed star used by King David which later became the seal of Solomon (Davids son) it is used by Jews today as a symbol of their faith and also is a 2D depiction of the Merkaba.
Noah’s Ark: The ark created by Noah (depicted top right) to save his family, seeds and two of each animal from the great flood by the commandment of God. This is almost certainly based on the preserver of life from Sumerian mythology.
Ring of Solomon: A silver ring inscribed with the names of angels used to summon and control demonic spirits, it was also held to the nose to prevent the inhaling of “astral poisons” which cause insanity and a weakness of the life force.
Ten Commandments: Stone tablets carved by Moses to take down the laws of God during a communion with God on mount Sinai. The ten commandments are likely based on the Egyptian forty-two laws of Ma’at and are actually the second set of tablets created by Moses for this purpose as he shattered the first set in anger when he saw the Israelites idol worshiping the golden calf.
Tzohar: A gemstone said to contain the light of creation, its name is likely related to the great Kabbalistic texts known as the “Zohar”.
Urim and Thummim: Meaning “perfect lights” were gemstones (modern veriant depicted bottom) worn by the high priest/priestess as a breastplate said to have been carved by Moses using a shamir. This breastplate was used for direct communion with God in later history they seemed to inexplicably lose power and were instead used for divination.
