The symbol that we have come to recognize as the Fleur de
lis, first appears in the art of the ancient Sumerians.
Historians propose that Sumer was settled between 4500
and 4000 BC by a non-Semitic people and that ancient
Sumer was known as the "land of the civilized kings". The
Sumerian word for "Lord" is apu, the same exact word for
"Lord" used by the ancient Inca civilization of Peru (Hugh
Fox, 2005 p.7)
The Sumerian clay tablet above portrays the goddess
Inanna (known to Semites as Ishtar) flanked by two winged
deities carrying ritual buckets and crowned with the Fleur
de lis symbol. Note that the winged deity on the left holds
what appears to be a pine cone in his left hand.
