Religious Idolatry:--the worship of, and sacrifice of human lives to the God of War; the worship of Saturn, and consequent Infanticide to propitiate the remorseless deity; the long Cross (and others) of the Goddess Astartē, in the Sculpture;--the sacrifice to Hygeia by _optional_ Circumcision;--the chief worship to Apollo,--or the Sun;--the gorgeous Temples erected to his glory;--human sacrifice upon the dedication of the Temples;--and the Sacred Fire,--guarded by the Virgins of the Sun. The comparative Mummies of the Tyrian Isles and Peru; the traditional story concerning Swans; the Tortoise and Serpent in Sculpture; the dye-shell, or purple murex;--Navigation with its attendant Maps and Charts;--the Aborigines coming from "the East," and by Navigation;--their landing,--or "touching at Florida," and "before the Christian Æra,"--then the discovery of the wreck of a Tyrian galley. The knowledge of Painting, and the general application of Colours; and Gem engraving. As the Sculpture contains only hieroglyphics, and not one cipher or letter, consequently the spoken language of Phœnicia is not found,--_nor is there any other language discovered_,--and for a proof of its antiquity, the Tyrian-Temple Sculpture should be _only_ hieroglyphical. The political character in the formation of Monarchies and Republics, as shewn at Tyrus and Carthage, Mexico and Toltecas:--Military character, and knowledge of defensive locality, with analogous Architecture in the sea and river-walls of Tyrus and Copan. The _last event_ in the history of Tyrus, sculptured upon the Chief Altar of the most ancient Ruin (Copan); and from the character of that event, it would naturally become the _first subject_ of record in the country to which they had emigrated,--every detail of that Altar is essentially Tyrian. _Painted_ sculpture, and the stuccoing of the walls of Tyrus and Palenque. The Architecture, as to its square-columned style, identified as Tyrian, and proved to be analogous from the Temples of Jerusalem and Palenque: and from the square Pillars of Copan;--while the pyramidal base produced the compound term,--Egypto-Tyrian. These absolute analogies have been traced from Holy-Writ, (and from that source others are to follow) Histories, and Traditions,--from Sculpture, Coins, and Architecture, and the entire range of the Arts;--_Earth_ and _Ocean_ have rendered their records, to establish that the same knowledge and customs were possessed by both Nations,--nor will the proof of identity stop there;--their mutual knowledge was also found in that science where _Heaven_ itself was, and is, the illuminated map of study,--where the Stars, as letters of fire, form the language of the Skies,--GOD HIMSELF being the Alpha and the Omega!
