Dr E.W. Bullinger, The Companion Bible, p.162 states, “Crosses were used as symbols of the Babylonian Sun-god...It should be stated that Constantine was a Sun-god worshiper...”
An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols by J.C. Cooper 1998 p. 92-93 Under Labarum or Chi-Rho. “...The labarum was also an emblem of the Chaldean sky (or sun) god...it was the emblem of Constantine...”
Seiyaka.com “The Tau Cross is so named from the Hebrew alphabet's last letter 'X', which was pronounced 'Taw'. This same sound transliterates to the Greek letter 'T'. Both the 'X' and 'T' shapes are used in forms of the Chi-Rho Cross.
Crux Commissa means a cross, a cross made by joining or attaching pieces together. With the cross bar used as a carrying handle, it is called Crux Ansata and represents a symbol of divinity on Egyptian and Assyro-Babylonian sculptures, such as Isis and Osiris. (See also the Ankh Cross) It was the emblem of immortality, life in general, and sometimes a phallic symbol. A pagan sign of the mystic Tau of the Chaldeans and the Egyptians, this cross was a symbol of the Roman god Mithras and the Greek Attis, and their forerunner Tammuz, the Sumerian solar god, consort of the goddess Ishtar. Conveniently, the original form of the letter 'T' was the initial letter of the god of Tammuz. During baptism ceremonies, this cross was marked on the foreheads by the pagan priest. Today in India and elsewhere, marking the forehead (at the point of the Ajna Chakra - the location of one's third eye, or conscience) with a sacred tilak mark, is a custom practised by Hindus and others, signifying that they follow (the pagan Hindu Trinity) Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Devi or Shakti”
Jennifer Emick: “The Solar cross is probably the oldest religious symbol in the world, appearing in Asian, American, European, and Indian religious art from the dawn of history. Composed of an equal armed cross within a circle, it represents the solar calendar - the movements of the sun, marked by the solstices. Sometimes the equinoxes are marked as well, giving an eight-armed wheel. (The swastika is also a form of Solar cross.) The sun cross in its most simplified form is known in Northern Europe as Odin's cross, after the Chief God of the Norse pantheon. It is often used as an emblem by Asatruar, followers of the Norse religion. The word "cross" itself comes from the Old Norse word for this symbol: kros. The Celtic cross is a symbol of the Celtic Christian Church, borrowed from the pre-Christian Celtic Pagan emblem of the sun God Taranis: Another similar symbol is the emblem of ancient Assyrian (Babylonian) god Shamash”
