The coiled cosmic serpent implies a hidden tour of the heavens prior to this perihelion appearance; the dark snake moving invisibly through the cosmic abyss for the vast majority of Nibiru's cometary orbit. This brings us to a new piece of evidence that consolidates further aspects of this diverse imagery. It takes the form of a Gnostic gem showing a lion-headed serpent. This strange image is connected with both Pagan and Early Christian imagery, being equivalent to the kosmokrator of the Roman cult of Mithras, of the Egyptian cosmic serpent Kematef, and the Hermetic deity Chnoubis. Its form includes symbolism clearly indicative of its celestial nature, linked with the First Decan of the Lion, and more generally with the Zodiac.This particular gem has a set of rays eminating from the lion's head, and there is the familiar set of seven stars forming a semi-circle around Chnoubis. This allows us to compare this motif directly with that of the Talisman of Orpheus. This cosmic serpent was connected with the 'birth of the child of the aeon' and the unborn child, and was a form of an important Graeco-Roman goddess called Kore. Kore's festival in Alexandria fell on 6th January, an important date in the Early Christian calendar. This cosmic serpent was connected with the 'birth of the child of the aeon' and the unborn child, and was a form of an important Graeco-Roman goddess called Kore. Kore's festival in Alexandria fell on 6th January, an important date in the Early Christian calendar. This is the 'Day of Lights' of the Baptism of Christ, the early Birthday of Christ and, these days, the Epiphany. So we can clearly see that this lion-headed cosmic serpent was associated by the Early Gnostic Christians with the celestial birth of a child, that took place within the First Decan of Leo.
