Hercules and boar

Seal image of an Afghan seal (with Indus influence) from oslo museum. Copy taken from essay of Steve Farmer on collapse of Indus script theory. Note the hunter and boar--hunter may be indicating Orion--and dog indicating Cannis major--and the boar indicating -----may be Monocerous constellation. All together this seal is indicating a month ---the scene depicted in this seal is similar to Hercules hunting a boar-- This boar constellation may be indicating the 7 th month(?)(to be corrected) of the year---and the 12 strokes may be indicating the 12 th day of the Boar month. Boar may be equal to monocerous constellation----spear may be meaning "death"----and arrow may mean "day" Then-what does the "two bows" mean?---Gemini constellation? ---wait for some answer

POSSIBLE SECOND MEANING:

This seal scene may be indicating all the three modern components of time----year, month and day-----It looks like that this seal seems to be more advanced than other seals seen so far.

Hunter year----spear means year----

Gemini month----arrow means month--

and 12 days-----or------

(12th day ceremony after death?)

Entire 12 labors of Hercules may be indicating 12 years---12 year cycle in Ramayana and Mahabharata. Rama goes to forest for 12 years and Pandavas go to forest for 12 years----it is essentially a 12 year cycle.---and 36 year cycle.

POSSIBLE THIRD MEANING:

The spear and arrow stands for the God Marduk or phonetic sound "mar-duk" (Aquarius constellation)and the "double bow" symbol for Gemini constellation.

POSSIBLE FOURTH MEANING:

The inscription starts with 12 strokes indicating 12 months calendar--

Next to that the picture of Orion shows --it is the month of Orion---

Next to that spear symbol indicates the "Day"-- as discussed in my book--

Next to that the "Arrow and Double bow" indicates Gemini day--

All put together --it gives a month and day---similar to many Indus seals--

It reads like this---

In the month of Orion and Day of Gemini---

What happened on that day ---not mentioned in the seal--

Possibly some body might have died on that day--

Or it may be the Birth date of some body ---

so that his birth Horocope can be determined properly

There is similarity in the story of Hercules and Krishna. Hercules killed the Boar, but Krishna took the avatar of a boar to save the world. The boar killed by Hercules was not earthly boar, but a heavenly one---Boar constellation---see the seal on left side---the heavenly boar being killed by Orion.
