About
This document, "THE AXE WAS GOD" 1959, is a short and to the point 50 page pamphlet, not really a book. It has been re-packaged together with two other pamphlet/books, by the same author; Henry Binkley Stien.
This book examines the symbols of power used by Ancient and Modern Nation States. In the case of the Axe, the author points to ancient Egypt, Crete, Greece, Rome, Germany, the British Isles, and preColumbian America; as examples where you will find the Axe symbolically represented as the official religious and state icon. You find it prominently displayed today in the United States House of Representatives as the Fasces. The bundle of 13 birch rods wrapped around an Axe.
