Personal force field belts of the lesser gods
It is important to remember that when the 'lesser gods' first arrived on Earth long, long ago the light personal force fields they wore as body armor when interacting with our long ago ancestors only had to be capable of repelling an assault by stick, spear, rock, club and much later arrows and swords.The myths and folklore of Man's civilizations do not record any evidence of technological advancements occurring inside the communities of the lesser gods. Most cultural myths have the lesser gods vanishing from Man's sight shortly after the invention of the bow or at least the Long bow. Numerous myths of different cultures imply all of the lesser gods did not flee or leave the planer, but instead adopted a much lower profile and are rarely if ever seen.
This may be simple self preservation on their part. Although they are somewhat impervious to hand held objects such as a stone or an ax, there do not exist many account of lesser gods, devils or angels walking up the stream of fire from a Maxim gun, or even an older Gatling gun. Their protective devices fall way short of Diana's bracelets or even Captain America's shield.
This is because of design limitations in their protective force field devices. Whether we speak of the Gods of Olympus or demons from Hell their protective armor seems to be based on converting kinetic impact energy into heat dispensed by a radiator worn on the individual godling's back or the horns of their helmet.
this worked well when the threat was Ooog throwing a big rock or Alley Oop's wife stabbing with a dagger.
Impact energy is convertible into wattage at a conversion rate of 1 foot pound is equal to 1..36 Watts of energy. It can be presumed that there is a wire mesh somewhere in a vest that conducts the captured energy to the previously mentioned radiator. How much energy can those wires conduct before melting?
I suspect this is why as the Long bow and the crossbow began to emerge you didn't see much of the demon/angel folk anymore. Simply put the energy dumped on target by those weapons is much greater than the wire mesh of their body armor or force fields can conduct or absorb.
Consider a modern .50 Browning Machine Gun bullet on average generates about 4,500 foot pounds of muzzle energy. That is 6,120 Watts of power per bullet. This against a force field designed thousands of years ago (with no signs of every being upgraded) to resist maybe 200 foot pounds of energy from a stone hurled from Alley Oop's sling.
Remember if it is not Human, then it is not a crime to vanquish it. :)

Meteor iron is the stuff of legend. Myth says witches, angels and demons can not stand against it. You will find mention of that in your Bible. Judges 1:19 "And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
It is possible this mythical property of meteoric iron gives us an additional clue as to how the force field worn by these creatures works. It is not farfetched to suspect a projectile (or bullet) made of Taenite would just zip through a lesser god's body armor and possibly also be effective against their sky ships (UFOs).
Iron Meteors typically retail for about (US) $5 per gram. There are 453.5 grams to a pound. This gives a 1 pound iron meteor a value of about (US) $2,267.50 By contrast Iron ore mined on Earth (which is normally only about 60 to 65% Iron today sells for only (US) $178.97 per Metric Ton.
The Sumerian stories are the oldest of all, and the stories come out in 3 other languages and civilization after the Sumerian's.. Aramaic was 1 of the other languages/civilizations..
There's many dragons described in the bible with some having amour so strong no arrow can bust through it, and Christians believe these dragons are all the same 1..
Looking at the bigger picture Ken, it don't matter what Gods did what or which God is which.. I think we all ( even all these Gods ) the spirits of us all will expire when this solar system expires..
Is our solar system gonna be here forever, or does it have an expiry date ?
The photo of Isis is that of Sumerian, Aramaic or Mesopotamian storyline Ken ?
Rveryone should know 2 of the largest meteor showers will both be this week on the evening (US time) of the 11th. 2 days away. Thousands of meteors will be in the night sky for most of the night. All should be alert to the possibility of a UFO trying to sneak into our atmosphere cloaked by the thousands of other objects. Take appropriate action if you see anything strange. :
I wouldn't sleep with a meteor without checking it with both a war meter and a geiger counter, but very, very, few of them have ever shown any trace of radioactivity. Most are pretty valuable though. If a small one landed in my yard I could probably get a new SUV fully loaded for it.
Trice in my life I have been close enough to hear them when they came down. Once, long ago, on a ship far at sea and it made a loud hiss when it hit the ocean and we were close enough to see the jet of steam. The other time was a few years ago and it came in obliquely from East to West with a SSSSSS noise overhead and came down somewhere to my West, but I was on a highway and the nearest exit was miles away so I have no idea whose property it landed in.
