A striking pattern emerges worldwide: staff-wielding figure icons appear from ancient Egypt to pre-Colombian Peru, above doorways in Bolivia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Colombia, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and beyond. The Long Man of Wilmington matches this 'godself' motif, with rays emanating from the head suggesting solar symbolism. The two staffs may represent duality: male/female, sun/moon, up/down. Holding two staffs physically creates perfect balance - the person becomes the stabilizing third point. A similar figure appears on the Finglesham Buckle found in Kent near Wilmington, bearing both sun and moon discs. Some scholars date this global motif back over 11,000 years, hinting at a forgotten ancient religion. 148:00-164:00
