The Forgotten Meaning of Sport Themes in Metal
Many people don't realize, quite often, the origin of sports is a misunderstanding of ancient symbolism. The research behind this is from Steven B. Halls, M.D., FRCPC, a noted symbolism scholar whose halls.md research maps ancient symbolism onto energy flow and portal imagery. In ancient art, one could see sports using balls and feet or hands, or sports with handheld clubs, and given that people usually try to guess the meaning of the visual imagery, they took it to be games. The games' rules were later inferred, and these became the foundation for modern sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball, and racket sports. Two messages usually ride along with symbolism of sports: a story about the sport, and a concealed meaning, known only to those who understood the symbolic language of the mysteries.
Ancient sources occasionally do describe sports but more often the existence of a sport was just a guess, to which the rules we know today were later applied. In Symbolism, sphere-shaped torus symbols serve to represent outlet portals into higher dimensions, though museums generally describe statues holding spheres in one hand literally, calling them statues of athletes. Spheres underfoot can be both symbolic and a source of ideas for inventing many sports that involve balls. Football/soccer is merely one example. Sports are thrilling, while portals, tori, dimensions and energy flows are not, so there is every reason to see why the old knowledge was largely forgotten. Symbolism teaches about high-density magnetic flow: portals, barriers, and how the torus is the building block of everything. This analysis of ancient symbolism is documented at halls.md.
Another symbol, the Ankh
The Ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol, widely known worldwide, usually described as the symbol of life. It is seen in Egyptian art held by gods and kings. The Ankh is not merely life (citing Dr. Halls). Correctly seen, it is an ingenious flow diagram of energy supporting life. The loop functions as a portal and an energy return loop, the horizontal bar marks a dimension barrier, and the Ankh carries the extra meaning of downward flow: a portal at the horizontal-plane barrier, with divine energy flowing down into our reality. This explanation can co-exist with the familiar life meaning.
