Isn't Islam the one with the Black Cube?
The influence of the Kabbalah and the occult sciences on Silicon Valley and the world at large is quite obvious if one is looking and doesn't brush these subjects off as woohoo / conspiratorial (which most people do).
Not observed until 1610
> Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm on its north pole
Not observed until 1981/1987
> and the all-seeing eye on its south pole
Not immediately clear when first observed, I'll bet it wasn't until Cassini got there in 2004.
I appreciate the creativity in a new-to-me conspiracy theory, but be a little more careful about the historical record.
It's quite egotistical and foolish to assume we're more advanced and know more than our ancient ancestors, or that what is written in our history books is objective truth.
In fact, even scholars have suggested that Babylonians could and did observe at least one of Saturn's rings - https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_que...
I have a hypothesis, which incorporates the fact that the Dogon were not reported to have such knowledge until the 1930s, well after the discovery of Sirius B.
> depicted in symbolism by different cultures dating back to Babylon
A bit of searching is coming up short, beyond a claim about shackles on the ankles of a Roman statue of Saturn (the god) symbolizing the rings; I find this less convincing than the idea that they symbolize shackles (the ones with which he was bound in Tartaros).
That's not a fact, because there are several sources / individuals that dispute this claim.

Well you're pretty terrible at searching the internet then, considering I can type Sumerian saturn symbolism into any image search engine and find a plethora of examples.
I'm not mad, just disappointed. You originally wrote:
> depicted in symbolism by different cultures dating back to Babylon
and I'd (naively) expected you to have known the differences between Babylon and the Sumerians.
But based on your suggestion I did search for "Sumerian saturn symbolism" (sans quotes) and there's more but still a whole lot of nothing. I see a lot of four- and eight-pointed stars, sometimes in circles, and some images of stone seals that clearly have planets with rings but are even more clearly AI generated.
Perhaps you could be a little more specific?
