![LEGEND: From the Sumerians, whom the literature calls literally the “black heads”, an African
people [see 11], comes the goddess Ishtar [1, 2]. She was worshipped universally in the
ancient world through under other names. Britannica writes: “This mother goddess was
variously known as Ishtar [1, 2], Astarte [4, 5, 6], Ashtoreth, Cybele, Demeter, Ceres,
Aphrodite, Venus [7, 8, 9] and Freya.” [1] is African from time of Uruk population in # 11.
EVOLUTION OF THE EARLIEST KEY GODDESS: Pictures here show Ishtar [1, 2; 4000 BC
to 3200 BC] is the 1st goddess in this “cycle.” In the 2nd and still African phase, she
becomes Asarte [4, 5, 6, 12; c. 2300 BC]. In the 3rd phase she becomes the Roman Venus [7,
8, 9; from 200 BC] . When whites came from the Steppes to Mesopotamia, they portrayed their
own people as Sumerian gods and Inanna (who couples with Ishtar) is the example [3].
Concerning Asarte, other reference sources write: “Astarte was the most important goddess
of the Semites [12]. She was the goddess of love, fertility, and maternity for the Phonicians,
Canaanites, Aramaeans, South Arabs, and even the Egyptians. Her name was Ishtar in
Babylonia and Assyria, where she was also the goddess of war. Some Old Testament
stories call her Ashtoreth, and describe the construction of her altar by King Solomon and
its destruction by King Josiah. Astarte was identified with the planet Venus. The Greeks
called her Aphrodite, and the Romans knew her as Venus.](02-16g-500-01.jpg)
