Cut off at the top, but you can still see the resemblance to a skull.
*Is Abaddon to be feared?*
*Is Abaddon to be feared?* My argument is no. I'm interested in knowing the origin of the cited scripture. Or is it scripture? It looks like it may be another person's version of the scripture which comes across as... It feels evil and foreboding. I have 2 sources that paint a different picture. In biblical text the apostle John translated the Hebrew word Abaddon to Greek which is Apollyon. Apollyon means “Destroyer,” and is given as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” Though most reference works apply this name to some evil person or entity, the whole setting of the apocalyptic vision in Revelation is to the contrary. It consistently portrays angels being used by God to bring woe and destruction upon His enemies. Not the devil or his demons. Destruction is not always evil. The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.” It wasn't until the 19th century that the 'angel of the a...
Looks a lot like this image that was doing the rounds mid-January. Edit: updated with more reliable link to the relevant Ingress post: https://plus.google.com/+Ingress/posts/6a2CjXVrTgx
ReplyDeleteLooks like the front of a locomotive to me.. with a cow catcher.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we have to create fields to herd cattle next?
Similarities. This is much more geometric. While that looked like some kind of mask, this one looks like a skull viewed through the lens of Ingress's hexagonal obsession.
ReplyDeleteHalf tempted to start a rumor that Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head Vodka is the next new sponsor after Doritos.
Also that big "X" right in the middle that forms the eyes or nose makes me think of Verity.
ReplyDeleteAdam Gilmore assuming the two top parts don't connect, it is also reminiscent of a wolf or some other canine. I like the locomotive idea too. It looks a lot like the transformers symbols for autobots and decepticons morphed together. Maybe its meant to speak to a machine synthesis, like ADA is planning. But here is a fact: that would make one badass patch.

ReplyDeleteI didn't see that X! Great catch.
Has anyone tried breaking the symbol down? It looks a lot like a Recursion R if it was condensed and pushed together with a mirrored R.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Man in the Iron Mask...
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allan Wright didn't you mention some research you'd done on crystal skulls at one point?
ReplyDeleteNo crystal skulls.. please!!
ReplyDeleteKlueformers.... ADA in disguise.
ReplyDeleteResistance: Age of Extinction, coming 2014
ReplyDeletePossibly a reference to the Crystal Skulls? I always wondered if they'd be involved in the Ingress existence and XM research. They've always been dubbed as methods of data storage, so perhaps they transmit ordered data through XM.
ReplyDeleteHey.. maybe its not a skull.. maybe its the cave map to where Hank's body is located. X marks the spot?
ReplyDeleteBump: saw the 'skull' on this piece of artwork, if you long press the picture it highlights the upper left corner which shows the skull and what I am assuming are morse code markings... https://plus.google.com/100575805686606884990/posts/JuabkziHJmj (edited to add link. Oops.)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm apparently Morse code challenged: I got "KKYQM?M"
