Talk:Sun cross

message: I am not saying much or even most of this article is incorrect. But it needs references. The symbol.com article linked, devastatingly, does not cite a single reference. It is imperative that we state according to whom the symbol is associated with Odin, Taranis or Quetzalcoatl, since we cannot just go and interview the ancient Norse, Gauls, or Aztecs. dab (ᛏ) 11:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get a picture of the "ancient Serbian sun cross"? It seems to be the only one in the list without a picture, which would be inordinately helpful in visualizing it. Thanks! - Che Nuevara 07:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: alright, this article has been making unsourced claims for too long. My request for sources was made a full year ago, and nothing happened. I'll mercilessly cut it down to referenced basics, feel free to add back information, citing sources. dab (𒁳) 09:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The middle section of this article shows an unfortunate tendency to devolve into an image gallery... AnonMoos 07:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "devolve" would imply it was more than that in the past. In reality, the "gallery" is just the sketch of what needs to be fleshed out once the article is developed. WP:DEMOLISH, please. --dab (𒁳) 08:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The symbol of the "Sun Cross" appears to be identical to the mon(family crest) of the Shimazu samurai clan of Japan, which controlled the provence of Satsuma. It is still commonly used in the Kagoshima area to represent the area. The official symbol of the city is a slightly altered version of the sun cross. I don't know what the Japanese name for it is, and it has no connection to the religions mentioned in this wikipage, but the proportions appear to be identical. Can we place a mention of this and a link to the Shimazu Clan?

message: Notably, there is no mention of Taranis who is invariably depicted with a spoked 'sun wheel' which sometimes appears in the four-part proportion. 
Similarly, and no doubt more controversially, the 'crossed horizon' is sometimes associated with both Mithras and Sol Invictus - both Roman mystery cults that were current at the  early development of Christianity, whose adopted symbol was, of course, changed to the crucifix from the alpha-omega, 'fish symbol' and others previously used . According to Esme Wynne Tyson in "Mithras-the Fellow in the cap" pp.171  the 'fiery cross' seen by Constantine at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge was known as the 'Labarum' and consisted of a gilded spear with a transverse bar surmounted by a crown.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trysca (talk • contribs) 23:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I was just pondering if an analog clockface with its 12 points and 2-3 hands could be considered a modern version of a solar cross. Bloodkith (talk) 00:40, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I see this symbol often associated with Gnosticism online (including Wikipedia), though I can't find any factual justification for this. Any ideas?--71.116.23.77 (talk) 06:00, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to ask the same thing, on Christian cross variants it calls it an early gnostic sect cross, and gives this image:
but the image itself is named an "original coptic" cross. And gnostic is *very* different than coptic, that's like getting Irmin Christianity confused with Arian Christianity. 66.96.79.217 (talk) 23:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
