... who is a swift, winged messenger of Zeus (Jupiter) and the gods, who is connected with electricity (especially as Thoth, in Egypt), the creator of illusions (mental problems), and is god of thieves, travelers, and healing. He, too, becomes a great god, known to many - East Indians, Mexicans, Teutons, and others. Though Yahweh reflects Jupiter, he also has qualities of Thoth; Moses was probably a devotee of Thoth, and acts towards Yahweh as Hermes towards Zeus (de Grazia, 1983a).

The Saturnian Deluge was caused by a salt-water tree cut down by a tapir, according to the Cuna Indians (ibid). In Hindu myth, the gods were churning the heavenly waters and ground salt into the seas (Tresman and O'Gheoghan, p39, and see Figure 33). Salt domes are among the most common of the mineral intrusions that are scattered over the Earth's surface. Small ones are about one cubic kilometer in extent, ...
