Royal and papal crowns could be worthy of consideration in this context...

..It is made of gold with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, enamel and pearls...
The crown is made up of 12 hexagonal rosettes on the base each supporting a gold stem topped by a lily. The stems and lilies alternate in size and height. They are heavily jewelled versions of the
fleur de lys (lily flower) that was popular for medieval crowns. In the middle of the hexagons, which have enamelled white flowers overlaid onto a translucent blue or red background, is a pale blue sapphire, 11 of which are oval and 1 is hexagonal. Each point is decorated with alternating rubies and clusters of four pearls that have a small diamond at the centre. In addition to diamonds, pearls, and sapphires, the lilies are also decorated with emeralds.
I think both you and Bluegazer have made a good catch here. I would suggest that the crown with 12 hexagonal rosettes made of gold with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, enamel and pearls can also be indirectly linked with the Israelite High Priest's ephod that was called the 'Breastplate of Judgement', which the High Priest wore when in the presence of the Ark of the Covenant. The breastplate consisted of four rows of inlaid precious jewels or gemstones:
“It is to be square – a span long and a span wide – and folded double. Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be Carnelian, Chrysolite and Beryl; the second row shall be Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli and Emerald; the third row shall be Jacinth, Agate and Amethyst; the fourth row shall be Topaz, Onyx and Jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings. There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.” Exodus 28:16-20
Used to communicate with God, the Breastplate was originally worn by Aaron, elder brother of Moses [
MJF: a fiction according to the C's]. Known as the Priestly Breastplate, or the
Breastplate of Judgement, it contained the ‘Urim’ and ‘Thummim’, two stones used to determine God’s will. Well we know who may have been the so called god or deity the High Priest was unwittingly communicating with.
The Jewish scholar Josephus realised that the number twelve had huge significance. From the twelve stones on the Breastplate, to the twelve gemstones mentioned in the Book of Revelation (c.69-96AD), to the number of the sons of Israel, to the signs of the Zodiac [MJF: this number has varied over the ages though], and the months of the Roman calendar year. Hence, it is interesting that the Crown of Blanche should have 12 hexagonal gold rosettes within it, each supporting a gold stem topped by a lily, which are heavily jewelled versions of the fleur de lys (the lily flower).
The 'Fleur de Lis' is itself an interesting symbol since it may have an underlying connection to the triad looking plasma discharges that can occur in nature, which can resemble a trident (Trent?) in appearance. As the C's said, our ancestors may have seen such plasma discharges in the sky and been in awe of them. The Fleur de Lis is supposedly based on the lilly flower, which is also the symbol of the House of David and of the
Virgin Mary and
Saint Joseph (who was descended from the House of David) who is often depicted with a lily.
Nobody knows for certain when the Fleur De Lis symbol was first designed, though it has been found on seals and coins dating as far back as the 10th century A.D.
However, some French scholars believe the flower may originally have been an iris (see below). Apparently, the French or Franks, before entering Gaul, had lived for a long time around the river named
Lys in Flanders. Nowadays, this river is still bordered with an exceptional number of irises which have yellow flowers, which is not a typical feature of lilies. The Fleur de Lis was the symbol found on the French Royal Standard or flag until it was replaced in the French Revolution by the Tricolour. Many noble Norman families also adopted the Fleur de Lis within their family crests and my own Norman family was no exception.
An Iris compared with the fleur-de-lis emblem
And as Bluegazer noted the three-pronged
Ψ sign represents the PSY symbol and the
wave function in quantum mechanics and is also a symbol for Antennae in electronics. Hence, there could have been an ancient, occulted scientific principle underlying the
Ψ symbol, which subsequently found expression in the Fleur de Lis.
However, say if the crystal skull the Templars called Baphomet was a triple faced skull that was the Grail, which through its pure crystal composition was capable of acting as a powerful receiver or antenna that allowed for the fine tuning of signals coming from vast distances in the way that radio telescopes are today. In turn, could the gemstones incorporated within the High Priest's Breastplate of Judgement have been a means of passing on messages transmitted via Baphomet, where the different gemstones would light up to signify what the message might be and the High Priest could then interpret them (in a similar way perhaps to how a Ouija board operates today).
If so, is it possible that English author
Graham Phillips and his American friends the Russells may have found some of the missing gemstones from the original Breastplate of Judgement that seemingly made their way to Warwickshire in England after the English Templar Knight
Ralph de Sudely had discovered them in the Holy Land and brought them back with him as sacred relics that were then put on display at the Templar chapel at Temple-Herdewyke until the Black Death wiped that Templar community out in the mid-14th century? Phillips claims in his book
The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant that the gemstones displayed some very unusual properties including emitting energy that left clear marks on photographic paper even when they were stored in the dark and leaving red marks on Phillip's hand after he had handled them.
However, Phillips and his friends also found a broken stone slab with highly unusual rune like symbols inscribed on it that could have been the remains of one of the Stones of Testimony on which the Biblical Ten Commandments were supposed to have been written. Although experts at the British Museum were unable to identify the stone script, could it have been a form of proto-runic script, which eventually evolved into the later runes linked with the Gaels and the Scandinavians that Bluegazer displayed in his post above?
We should recall here that the C's confirmed that Abraham/Moses was a Hittite/Levite. On this question of an unknown script, it recently came to my attention that the Hittites were capable of writing in several contemporary scripts, five of which are known - see:

Quoting from that article:
Ongoing excavations in Turkey – in the ruins of the ancient capital of the Hittite Empire – are yielding remarkable evidence that the imperial civil service included entire departments fully or partly dedicated to researching the religions of subject peoples. [MJF: Could these have included those of the Sabians of Haran and the Zoroastrians perhaps?]
The latest example was unearthed just two months ago. It turned out to be written in a previously unknown Middle Eastern language that had been lost for up to 3,000 years.
Over the decades, around 30,000 complete and fragmentary clay tablet documents have been unearthed in the ruins of the ancient Hittite capital – Hattussa (now known as Bogazkoy) around 100 miles east of modern Turkey’s capital, Ankara.
The great majority were written in the empire’s main language – Hittite. But the Hittite government’s scribes wrote around 5 per cent of them fully or partly in the languages of the empire’s minority ethnic groups – peoples like the Luwians (south-eastern Anatolians), Palaians (from part of north-west Anatolian), Hattians (central Anatolians) and Hurrians (from Syria and northern Mesopotamia).
The most recently discovered minority language, recorded by government scribes (and previously unknown to modern scholars) is being called Kalasmaic – because it seems to have been spoken by a subject people in an area called Kalasma on the empire’s north-western fringe.
The empire’s civil service scribes wrote all their manuscripts in a Hittite version of a pre-existing Mesopotamian-originating script (the oldest writing system in the world) called cuneiform, consisting of wedge-shaped lines arranged in groups representing syllables.
The area of the Middle East which is now Turkey was, in ancient times, particularly rich in languages.
Linguistic diversity often depends on topography. The more mountains and isolated valley systems, the more languages are likely to develop and survive.
At present only five minority languages are known from the Bronze Age Hittite empire – but in reality, given the mountainous topography, there may well have been at least 30.
Indeed, just adjacent to the ancient Hittite Empire were the Caucasus mountains region which still today boasts some 40 languages.
The Hittite language is the world’s oldest attested Indo-European tongue.
The earliest inscriptions date from the 16th century BC. As an Indo-European language, it is related to most modern European languages (including English) as well as many Asian languages (including Iranian and many Indian ones). Indeed, despite the 3,000-year time gap, ancient Hittite and modern English have dozens of words in common.
Watar was for instance Hittite for “water”. Duttar was the main part of the Hittite word for “daughter”. “Wine” was wiyana, while card was “heart/cardiac” and newa was their word for “new”.
Given what is said above, is it possible that the Hittite Abraham/Moses may have been responsible for inscribing the Tablets of Testimony in an unknown Hittite script akin to a primitive Ogham or Runic script? Could this ancient script have even been written in the alphabet of the exiled Trojans who had originally come from Britain?
King Solomon
As to King Solomon and the Seal or Sigel of Solomon, we should not lose sight of what the C's have told us and that was that there never was an Israelite king called Solomon and his character was based instead on the Egyptian pharaoh called Narmer who famously united the two kingdoms of Egypt, which as Laura noted occurred around the same time as the formation of the "Elohim Covenant" with the Rosteem (Rosicrucians), which may in turn be related to the Nordic Covenant:
Q: Was Solomon a king of Egypt?
A: Yes.
Q: Which king of Egypt was the equivalent of Solomon?
A: Narmer.
This suggests that the Seal of Solomon may originally have been an Egyptian symbol that went with the Israelites during their Exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses.
In my earlier post, I mentioned how Solomon was supposed to have harnessed through a magic ring or talisman the advanced talents, knowledge and skills of demons led by Asmodeus to build his temple. This may simply be a flowery explanation for Narmer obtaining assistance from certain aliens (was one of these an alien grey who called himself Ptah who possessed a magic levitating throne?). This connection between Narmer and aliens may be gleaned from the following exchange between the C's and Laura:
Q: Who was the Queen of Sheba?
A: Fictional.
Q: Did a great queen come to visit King Solomon?
A: Alien influence.
Solomon’s Temple
According to Professor James Pritchard in his book, 'Solomon and Sheba' (1974, p.35): "... the so-called cities of Megiddo, Gezer and Hazor, and Jerusalem itself were in reality more like villages. Within were relatively small public buildings and poorly constructed dwellings with clay floors. The objects reveal a material culture, which, even by the standards of the ancient Near East, could not be judged sophisticated or luxurious. The magnificence of the age of Solomon is parochial and decidedly lacklustre, but the first book of Kings implies exactly the opposite."
Again. we find the author David Rohl in his book 'A Test of Time: The Bible from Myth to History' (1995, p.174) claiming the same thing: "When it comes to the Iron Age (which is purportedly the time of Solomon and his ally, Hiram of Tyre) there are no stone buildings. How then did Solomon acquire building expertise from Phoenicia if the Phoenicians did not have the skill or resources to build stone structures for themselves."
So, there was no Temple of Solomon and there is very little evidence that there was even a Solomon. We are left with only one solution: that the whole story - and many others like it - are symbolic.
David Rohl seems to have reached the same conclusion as Laura, as confirmed by the C's above. However, if there ever was a Temple of Solomon then it appears that it was the temple or necropolis of Knossos in Crete:
Q: Was the Temple on Crete at Knossos, was it really a necropolis as Wunderlich suggests?
A: 5th density waiting room.
Q: Did they sacrifice humans there?
A: Yes.
Q: Did they sacrifice animals?
A: Yes.
Q: What animals were they sacrificing, and to whom?
A: Apis Bull in part.
Q: What was the other part?
A: Haho 353535
Q: "Ho" must be a name. Is Ho a name of a god?
A: HOH 353535
Q: (T) Is it water? (L) Is it like Hawah? (A) HOH water?
A: Remember Irish pig.
Q: Was this temple the source of the legends of the Temple of Solomon?
A: Yes.
