Not so.
Eostre was an Anglo-Saxon/Germanic pagan goddess whose
feast in the springtime occurred concurrently with the Church's
highest holiday. It is only in the English language that the word
is still used casually. There is no connection between Eostre
and Ishtar, except for a phoenetic happenstance, again within
the English language.
Ishtar's Gate was constructed as a city gate to ancient Babylon
approximately 575 years before Christ.

Does this mean he didn't really exist , or that he wasn't really the Father of our country or its 1st POTUS ?
He wasn't the first president....

He might be alluding to John Hanson.

Yes, he was . I know what you are referring to, but that is an erroneous belief. The position of President of the Congress was a ceremonial position . The US under the AoC had no executive office .
