The double axe head symbol?

Question

The symbol of the double axe head in Greek archaeology has a much older origin than is commonly known. Where does it originate?

Vivet...you've really done your research...its a little known fact that the double axe head, along with other symbols we attribute to ancient Greece, are from the mother Goddess worship...proto indoeuropean in origin.

Answer 1

Labrys is the term for a doubleheaded axe, known to the Classical Greeks as pelekus (πέλεκυς)or sagaris, and to the Romans as a bipennis.
Representations of the labrys are on paleolithic and Neolithic finds of "Old Europe" often associated with the worship of the Great Goddess and similar Earth Mother goddesses who were the deities of most early cultures. The labrys symbolism is continued in Minoan, Thracian, Greek, and Byzantine religion, mythology, and art that date to over three thousand years ago. The labrys also appears in African religious symbolism and mythology (see Shango).
