"Cruci-fiction" is right. Ishtar was a Babylonian/Sumerian goddess.She descended into the Underworld, known as Absu, to fight her sister, the goddess of the Underworld, Queen Ereshkigal. She was hung on a stake and later resurrected, after 7 days, I think. I'm not sure about how long, it's been awhile since I've read the Necronomicon.

HUH???! Okay, according to Wikipedia (which is NOT Encyclopedia Brittanica, but still, Ishtar is: "Anunit, Astarte and Atarsamain are alternative names for Ishtar. ... In late Babylonian astrology, the goddess Ishtar was related to the planet Venus ..."
After that, you've lost me! I have no clue what a Babylonian goddess has to do with the crucifixion.....

Ishtar is the representaton of the old testament Semiramis, who sacrificed children to the pagan god Molech.
The Romans were pagans. The "christian" emperor Constantine and the Pagan Jews ( the ones worshipping the calf made of gold) "incorporated" the pagan rituals into the world of christendom.
By the way, your entire Calendar (including every day of the week) is pagan; as is EVERY major holiday (and most minor ones, too)

Ishtar was a goddess that stormed the gates of Hell and defeated many demons, according to Persian lore.
