Shimmer Twin - The Theta Bop

Plane/Crashed/Mountain.

According to John the Lydian, a 6th century Byzantine writer [not actually from Lydiate], a symbol very similar to theta was used to describe ‘The Kosmos’ by the ancient Egyptians.
This symbol was comprised of a snake representing Agathodaemon across a fiery circle representing the world.

The sun disc in ancient Egyptian culture is basically the same with one of the earlier forms of theta symbol; a dot in the middle of a circle.

Ancient Greeks also used the theta letter as a symbol of death as it looked a little bit like a human skull. It was also used by the Greeks as the abbreviation of the Greek word for death, Thanatos (θάνατος).
