Crescent
Mytes Gradel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

...Crescent shall shine again...
To be scrabed of thy darkness membrane
And give hope to us
To be shield on us
Like pray of infant and like flight and pride
Our crescent shall shine again
Grove to us from remorseless
Your voice behind the mountain's echo




Your fear behind the night's frost
Your body behind the death's side...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mytes Gradel's "Crescent" are quite metaphorical and deep. The song essentially revolves around the idea that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope for a brighter future. The crescent is a metaphor for this hope, and the lyrics suggest that it will eventually shine again. The line "To be scraped of thy darkness membrane" seems to imply that the darkness is like a layer that needs to be removed, almost like shedding a skin. This could represent the idea that to reach a brighter future, we must let go of the darkness within ourselves and in the world around us.


The lyrics also mention the crescent being a shield for us, which could be interpreted as protection or guidance. The line "like pray of infant and like flight and pride" suggests that the crescent is like a symbol of innocence, freedom, and confidence. The final line "Grove to us from remorseless" implies that the crescent shines despite the lack of remorse or guilt felt by the darkness it is conquering. It is a powerful force that can overcome even the most remorseless of obstacles.


In the next stanza, the lyrics speak of the fear, body, and voice of the darkness. The song implies that these are all things that will eventually be conquered by the shining crescent. The overall message of the song is one of hope and perseverance in the face of darkness.

Genesis 10:8-12   (Torah)

8) Kush (Nubia, Sudan, Ethiopia) begot Nimrud: and he became a warrior/tyrant upon the earth.

9) He was a warrior hunter in the face of the Most High: therefore it is said, like Nimrud the warrior hunter in God’s face.

10) And the first of his kingdom was Babel (East Africa), Erekh, Akkad, (city north of Iraq) and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (Sumer)  

11) From that land he went to Asshur, (Regions of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran), and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: that is the principal city.

Nimrud ruled from East Africa all the way to India he was from North Sudan. The people out of North Sudan a part of the Kush Empire was where the men were very tall and strong Nimrud came from there. These people are mentioned by Isaiah in 18:2. These people were known to be a fierce warrior class.

Nimrud was known by many different names, here is a list of some just to name a few: Gilgamesh, Baal, Belus, Melcartth, Adonis, Eshmun, Dumuzi, Dionysus, Bacchus, Orion, Mithra, Apollo, Ra, Tammuz, Osiris, Titan, Hercules.

Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson was convinced that there was a relationship between the Sumerians and Africans. As a result he used two African languages: one Semitic and the other Kushitic to decipher the cuneiform writing. Rawlinson was sure that the ancient Nubians and Puntites founded Mesopotamian civilization.(1)

The Sumerians referred to themselves as ùĝ saĝ gíg ga (cuneiform: 𒌦 𒊕 𒈪 𒂵), phonetically /uŋ saŋ gi ga/, literally meaning "the black-headed people"

Sumerians were head shavers just like the Egyptians.

Sumerian Ruler Gudea

Madrid, Spain - February 24, 2017: head of Gudea at National Archeological Museum of Madrid. He was a ruler of the Sumerian city of Lagash in Southern Mesopotamia.

The Sumerians came from the Sahara before it became a desert. Affinities exist between Nubia ware and pottery from Ennedi and Tibesti.

Dr. Himanshu Narayan Singh (CSIR-Institute of Genomics & Integrative Sciences, Delhi, India) believes that this pottery spread from Nubia, through Mesopotamia and Iran southward into India.(5) The earliest examples of this BRW date to the Amratian period (c4000-3500 B.C.).

These Saharan people were round-headed ancient Mediterranean types. They were often referred to as Cafsa or Capsians; a group of people not devoid of negroid characteristics according to Jehan Desanges a French historian, philologist and epigrapher, a specialist of North Africa during Antiquity. A member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton[1](11) Wyatt MacGaffey, Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College, Pennsylvania claims that the term “Mediterranean” is an anthropological euphemism for “Negro”.

The boats of the Saharan people are similar to those found on ancient engravings of boats in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Many of the boats found in the eastern desert of Egypt and among the Red Sea Hills show affinities to Mesopotamian models.

The Sumerians and Elamites often referred to themselves as “ksh”. For example the ancient Sumerians called their dynasty “Kish”. The words “kish”, “kesh” and “kush” were also names for ancient Nubia-Sudan.
The Elamites also came from Kush. According to the classical writer Strabo, Susa the centre of the Elamite civilization was founded by Tithonus, king of Kush.

B.B. Lal (Braj Basi Lal, better known as B. B. Lal, is an Indian archaeologist. He was the Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India from 1968 to 1972 and has served as Director of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla.) has shown conclusively that the Dravidians (original east Indians); (southern India), came from Nubia and were related to the C-Group people who founded the Kerma dynasty.(3)

They both used a common black-and-red ware (BRW) which Lal found was analogous to ceramics used by the megalithic people in India who also used analogous pottery signs identical to those found in the corpus of Indus Valley writing. (4)

History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC)

The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC).

At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials.

At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats.

Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC.

Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior.

Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"

Most people are aware that the Pharaonic civilization of ancient Egypt is one of the world’s oldest and longest-lasting. However, the nation of Ta-Seti predated Egyptian civilization.

According to Our Weekly, in 1962, a research team headed by Keith C. Seele, director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition, discovered a Pharaonic dynasty in Nubia that predated the first Pharaonic period in Kemet (Egypt).

The area extended from northern Sudan to southern Kemet; in some literature it was referred to as ancient Ethiopia, or as in the Bible, Kush. Today, it is called Ta-Seti.
On March 1, 1979, The New York Times carried a front page article by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: “Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest.”

In the article, Rensberger wrote: “Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia.” He estimated that “The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC.”

Captivating History

Correction: The Greeks lost at Thermopylae.

kontra basso

so although you know the History of ΘΕΡΜΟΠΥΛΕΣ you still saying unhistorical facts that you invented regarding the name of Mesopotamia ...without explaining how still today we call it by its Greek name and not by they "local" name was called before the Ionians (it was Ionia there) and ALEXANDER THE GREAT WHO passed from there.

This WAY

13:55 cyrus was from meed and Ellam
After cyrus his both son been killed by draius from pars and perses claim the kingdom of meed and ellam
And he change the capital that time

Mesopotamia are 2 Greek words Meso = middle and potamos = river . The area between two rivers . Tigris= Tiger and Eufratis from the words eu which means good and the verb φραζω which means "i close". On this case these two rivers close this piece of land between them.

Great historical timeline. I knew most of the info, but never had it in my head in the correct order before this video. Thanks.

Freedom for None - Uroboro Djinn

Yes! This is the most important part of learning history. A proper timeline in proper context.

Great video! Serves as a good starting point to interest people in Mesopotamian history.
