Part 2/7:
According to Staley, the design of the Statue of Liberty draws heavily from ancient pagan figures, presenting her as not just a figure of freedom, but as an incarnation of various gods. One striking resemblance highlighted by Staley is between the Statue of Liberty and the ancient figure, Addis. Addis, a key figure linked with Kelli or Ishtar and the wife of Baal, is noted for his extreme acts of self-castration and his tendency to cross-dress, complete with a similar headpiece.
