The 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg was a mass sighting of celestial phenomena or unidentified flying objects (UFO) above Nuremberg, Germany. The phenomenon has been interpreted by some modern UFO enthusiasts as an aerial battle of extraterrestrial origin. This view is mostly dismissed by skeptics, some referencing Carl Jung's mid-twentieth century writings about the subject while others find the phenomenon is likely to be a sun dog.

The text of the broadsheet can be translated as giving the following description of the event:
"In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5
a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen
in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many
men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two
blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter.
And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood,
there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color.
Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such
blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line
and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there
were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red
strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like
the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big
rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and
big rods there were three, also four and more globes. These all started
to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the
sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes
standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the
sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought
vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in
and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such
an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the
earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth
with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black
spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the
point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although
we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the
heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to
repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise
such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule
and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a
frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the
God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to
heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their
lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the
well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and
perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his
help, Amen. By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg."
In fact, so close was the Hindu Divine Son to Dionysus that a story
arose that the Greek Son had himself either been born in India or spent
much of his early upbringing there before going to Greece. A town named
Nyssa, which is the same name as Dionysus’s birth town in the west, was
subsequently discovered in India and the Divine Son of the Greeks and
Hindus became synonymous. The name Dionysus denotes “the God of Nyssa.”
Similar to his counterpart, the forever young and effeminate Dionysus,
the Hindus’ Divine Son was the pre-pubescent Murugan, meaning the
“beautiful.”
His other names included Sanat Kumara and Karttikeya, a title denoting
“Son of the Pleiades.” Both the Greek Dionysus and the Hindu Karttikeya
were intimately associated with the Seven Sisters, who during their
infancy manifested physically as their nursemaids. And like Dionysus,
Karttikeya/Murugan had been born from the Earth mother, the Hindu
Shakti, meaning “Energy,” through mating with the invisible Father in
Heaven, Shiva.

Both Dionysus and Murugan became monarchs of Earth, but they were
also recognized as the greatest of warriors who carried and fought with
versions of their favored weapon, the spear. Dionysus carried the
Thrysus Spear and Murugan met his opponents on the battlefield with his
Vel Spear. Both Dionysus and Murugan eventually became the commanders of
great armies of righteous soldiers that fought for Zeus or Shiva, the
Father in Heaven.
While Alexander and his men were linking Karttikeya and Dionysus, the
counterpart of these two Divine Sons was being venerated in both India
and then Persia. This was the Christed Son, Mitra. The name Mitra
denotes friendship, contracts, mediation and balance.
It refers to the balance that is created through the union of the
universal male-female polarity. Like Karttikeya and Dionysus, Mitra was a
product of the universal polarity. His mother was of the Earth and his
Solar Father in Heaven was known by the name of Ahura Mazda. Both
Murugan and Mitra explicitly displayed their solar heritage through
their distinctive solar flags, as well as by counting the colorful cock
as their most sacred animal. Recognized worldwide as the quintessential
solar animal, the cock daily crows to ensure the rising of the morning
Sun.

Mesopotamian: Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Phoenician, and Canaanite
The ancient regions of Mesopotamia and Canaan were inhabited by a succession of overlapping civilisations: Sumer, Phoenicia, Akkadia, Babylonia, Assyria.
The mythologies of these people were interlinked, often containing the
same stories and mythological gods and heroes under different names.
The Sumerian creation myth, "The Creation of Man", from circa 2000 BCE, lists a number of physically differing people created by the goddess Ninmah.[n 1]
These included "the woman who cannot give birth" and "the one who has
no male organ or female organ", which have been regarded as being third
gender or androgynous. Enki,
the supreme god, is accepting of these people and assigns them roles in
society as "naditu" (priestesses) and "girsequ" (servants to the king).[95] The Akkadian mythical epic Atrahasis
contains another iteration of this story, in which Enki specifically
requests that Nintu create a "third-category" of people that includes
third-gender people, barren women, and an "infant-stealing demon".[95][n 1]
In ancient Mesopotamia, worship of the goddess Inanna included "soothing laments" sung by third gender priests called "gala".[n 2] According to old Babylonian
texts, these priests were created specifically for this purpose by the
god Enki. Some gala took female names, and the word itself means
"penis+anus", hinting at their androgynous status.[96]
The cultural practice, or "me", of androgynous, third-gender or
homoerotically inclined priests were part of those said to have been
stolen by Innana from Enki in "The Descent of Innana" myth.[96] In the Babylonian Erra myth, the gender of the "kurggaru" and "assinnu" priests was supernaturally changed by the goddess Ishtar, making them feminine.[n 2] The changes may also facilitate possession by the goddess, causing a psychological change or prompting physical castration.[97]
The relationship between the semi-divine hero Gilgamesh and his "intimate companion" Enkidu in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh
has been interpreted as a sexual one by some modern scholars. Enkidu
was created as a companion to Gilgamesh by the goddess Aruru, and
civilised by a priestess.[n 1][98]
As Gilgamesh and Enkidu were of similar ages and status, their
relationship has been seen as relatively egalitarian, in contrast with
the typically pederastic mode of ancient Greece or Persia.
Human fertility was a major aspect of Egyptian mythology, and was
often entwined with the crop fertility provided by annual flooding of
the river Nile.[13] This connection was shown in iconography of Nile-gods, such as Hapy, god of the Nile River, and Wadj-wer, god of the Nile Delta,
who although male were depicted with female attributes such as
pendulous breasts, symbolizing the fertility the river provides.[16]
Many female pharaohs and goddesses were depicted with male genitalia and it is known a few took male descriptions.
Isis and her sister Nephthys are considered to possibly be a
couple, both having children with Osiris and Wadjet the scorpion goddess
is also associated with her. Isis also appeared in the Greek myth of
Iphis, allowing two women to marry.
The Akan people of Ghana have a pantheon of gods that includes personifications of celestial bodies. These personification manifest as androgynous or transgender deities, and include Abrao (Jupiter),[19]Aku (Mercury),[20] and Awo (Moon).[21]
Possession by spirits is an integral part of Yoruba
and other African spiritual traditions. The possessed are usually
women, but can also be men, and both genders are regarded as the "bride"
of the deity while possessed. The language used to describe possession
has a sexual and violent connotation but unlike in Yoruba-derived
American religions, there is no link assumed between possession and
homosexual or gender variant activity in everyday life.
Gynomorph is a word used to describe an organism with female physical characteristics.
In Greek mythology and religion, a gynomorph was a bi-gendered god with both masculine and feminine characteristics. Gynomorphs were portrayed as effeminate young males, like Dionysos,
a masculine god who possessed distinctly feminine features. Gynomorphs
retained the creative capacity of female divinities, they had cosmic
wombs, but they also possessed the inseminating abilities attributed to
male divinities
In
Greek mythology Aphroditus was a male Aphrodite from Cyprus. A
divinity, half male, half female, uniting in itself the active and
passive functions of creation, a symbol of luxuriant growth and
productivity.
Ancient literature suggests that the figures
represent the androgynous Cypriot deity Aphroditus whose cult was
introduced into mainland Greece between the 5th–4th century BCE. The
revealed phallus was believed to have apotropaic magical powers,
averting the evil eye or invidia and bestowing good luck.
In later mythology became known as Hermaphroditus, the son of Hermes and Aphrodite.
