Alis Amon

Description

Based on a bit of creative word play, where you take the title Mona Lisa and move the omega to the alpha position.  So Lisa gets put before Mona, then the final letter of each word gets moved to the front of the word.  The result is Alis Amon, then take a meaning from the result - Al Is Amon, and there you have a creative concept to work with.

Al or El is a title, typically just meaning Lord.  Amon was an Egyptian God (most likely originating from more Southern African origins - Ethiopia is particularly indicated), originally separate but later merged with Ra to become Amon Ra a.k.a. Amen Re.  He was equated with Zeus in Greece, and the element of air.

The sheep skull is symbolic of Amon, as he was often depicted in the form of a Ram, a symbol of fertility.  He was seen as a lord of the poor and travelers (but also equated with war), suggesting he was a key deity among shepherds.  The influence of this god can still be seen today in the fact that many prayers are ended by saying Amen.  The Jews used to sacrifice rams to him.  The Egyptians, believing the Ram to be sacred to Amun, sacrificed a goat to him instead.

"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
