^{page 75 note 2} I confess I have been unable to find any trace of the existence of the triangle, as an emblem of the Sun, in the portraits of these Deities, as given by Wilkinson and Bunsen, or in any of the hieroglyphic signs. But it is reasonable to suppose, that Le Noir and other Freemasons had some grounds for their assertion. The Obelisk was the sign of Ammon, and a sharp pointed Pyramid of Sothls, the dogstar, (vide Bunsen), but there is no Equilateral Triangle.

^{page 77 note 1} I have not observed the triangle in any of the engravings lately published by Mr. Layard, of the ruins of Nineveh, nor in Rich's work on Babylon and Persepolis.
