>>22219120>the god pan watched over them in a sort of idyllic garden of eden scenario.this refers to the time before the capture event.
Earth was in a tidal lock with Saturn so Saturn always appeared to be in the North (all the oldest Gods live in the North for that reason).
During this time Earth was so close to Saturn that it was within its Plasmasphere and the light bounced off that Plasmasphere and illuminated the world with a Purple light.
there was no day and night cycle and no seasons and the North and South pole were tropical regions with megafauna living there. it was like perpetual dawn.
>the golden age of cronusThe reason why Saturn is associated with Time itself is because when the tidal lock broke as part of the capture event, the Day and Night cycle began.
Suddenly there were two suns in the Sky, and this also shows up everywhere, like in Egypt or even with the Abbos in Australia, the concept of a night sun of course also existed in ancient Babylonian thought as well.
Saturn and the Sun were viewed as the "two chief lights of the heaven, one to serve during the day and the other at night."
This is indicated by the fact that when the Sun was intended, a gloss to that effect "Samse u-mi" (i.e. Shamash of the day) - was inserted in those astrological texts dealing with Shamash/Saturn.
A Shamash-of-the-day presupposes a Shamash-of-the-night.
As the capture event progressed this "nothing ever happens lush green paradise" turned from comfy to hellish.
