Star of Venus
The Star of Venus also called the Star of Ishtar is an ancient symbol originating in Iraq used as early as 2000 BCE that represents the planet Venus, historically to represent the Assyrian and Babylonian Goddess Ishtar that are connected with Venus, as well as being historically used by Phoenician culture to represent Venus and the goddess Astarte (a counterpart of Ishtar).〔Hugo Gressmann, Julian Obermann. ''The tower of Babel''. Jewish Institute of Religion Press, 1928. Pp. 81.〕〔Carl G. Liungman. ''Symbols: Encyclopedia of Western Signs and Ideograms''. Lidingö, Sweden: HME Publishing, 2004. Pp. 228.〕 The symbol has been commonly represented as an eight-pointed star as it was discovered to be presented as such on a Babylonian seal approximately dated to 800 BCE.〔 However in modern times in Islamic societies it has been represented by a five-pointed star that is used alongside a crescent moon.〔
The Star of Ishtar is the central symbol of the Assyrian flag.
