The number of the points of the stars on each pantheon total 92; for uranium, the vital raw material, has 92 electrons. Each pantheon is gorged with a crown palisado, a form deriving from the stockade or palisade of a fortified enclosure, and this in conjunction with the chain attached to it provides a symbol of defence or control and of the harnessing of the atom to many purposes. | In ancient records pantheons invariably appear spangled with stars and this feature, coupled with the name itself, suggests that in the past they were meant to typify the natural powers of the universe, making them logical supporters.
