WHY MOSES HAD HORNS?
The scrupulous Moses by Michelangelo had horns due to a mistranslation of the book of Exodus. The original Hebrew text described Moses as having ' Karnan ’ohr panav '— ' Facial skin that glowed with rays of light. ' When the Roman Catholic Church created the official Latin translation of the Bible, the translator bungled Moses’s description, rendering it as ' Cornuta esset facies sua' _' His face was horned. '
From that moment on, artists and sculptors, fearing reprisals if they were not true to the Gospels, began depicting Moses with horns.
It was a simple mistake. A mistranslation by Saint Jerome around four hundred A.D. Exactly. A mistranslation. The result is poor Moses is now misshapened for all history.
' Misshapen ' was a nice way to put it.
I repeat, to illustrate how a single misunderstood word can rewrite history. Same thing, I'm forced to admit happen in the case of Masonic pyramid, SanGreal: Holy Grail. SangReal: Royal Blood, among other Christianity symbolism.
For instance, in the case of the Masonic Pyramid, people heard whispers about a ‘legend. ' And the idea stuck. The Legend of the Masonic Pyramid sounded like a myth while the word legend was referring to something else. It had been misconstrued. Much
like the word talisman.
Language can be very adept at hiding the truth.
