What more appropriate symbolism of Creation than this. To the Egyptian then, this object among the stars would seem to have been noted as their deified form of the goose.
We believe this figure to be identical with the birds of different kinds which the early 36 Digitized by VjOOQ IC ORIGIN OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN American races associated with creation, and the different forms of THE THUNDER BIRD IN PARTICULAR.
In fact, a tribe of Indians, named the Thlinkits, of north-western America, represe
...nted their deity in much the same form in which this starry object presents itself to our view. Some tribes had the tradition that the creation bird rode to land and safety upon the back of the turtle, which would be but another derivation from this same figure.
Bird heads are engraved upon many objects found throughout America, which, in some cases, show a remarkable similarity to the head of this starry form, and should, undoubtedly, be identified with it. This is especially true in respect to THOSE ENGRAVED UPON THE GORGET symbols, and they are invariably drawn with the mouth open.
