The Armenian rock painting from the Geghama Mountains is believed to be a unique observatory—a map for forecasting and recording the chronology of natural disasters, space and earthly catastrophes. This ancient artwork includes symbols representing earthquakes, volcanoes, avalanches (depicted as snakes), solar eclipses (signs of the sun), comet impacts (cross with a tail), and loss of life (crosses).
The “Stone Chronicle of Knowledge”
The final deciphering and interpretation of this “stone chronicle of knowledge” awaits its discoverers. It is hoped that they will be able to calculate dates and adjust astronomers’ forecast data about the onset of future disasters, potentially predicting events like the “end of the world.”
Historical Accounts and Catastrophes
The father of history, Herodotus, during his visit to Egypt, recounted his conversation with the Egyptian priests: “Four times during this time (so they told me) the Sun rose contrary to its custom; twice it rose where it now sets, and twice it set where it now rises.” This suggests a significant change in the Earth’s axis of rotation, causing the seas and oceans to inundate the continents, sweeping away everything in their path.
This global disaster was accompanied by a huge tidal wave, caused by the attraction of a neutron star. In Babylonian cuneiform texts, the year when the flood occurred was called the “year of the roaring dragon.” Legends about the Great Flood have been preserved by almost all the peoples of the planet.
An ancient cuneiform Mesopotamian text narrates the devastating catastrophe caused by Typhon: “His weapon is the flood; God, whose weapon brings death to sinners, who, like the Sun, crosses these domains. The Sun, his god, he plunges into fear.”
The Aftermath of the Flood
The terrible catastrophe in the form of a flood affected almost the entire population of our planet, leaving a lasting impact on humanity. For example, a quote from the manuscript of Avila and Molina describes the event: “As soon as they (the Indians) reached there, the water, overflowing the banks, after a terrible shaking, began to rise above the shore of the Pacific Ocean. But as the sea rose, flooding the valleys and plains around, Mount Ancasmarca also rose, like a ship on the waves. For five days, while the catastrophe lasted, the sun did not appear, and the earth was in darkness.”
After the flood, Typhon began to move away from our planet, but the disasters did not end there. Volcanic eruptions, fires, hurricanes, and a huge amount of volcanic ash, soot, smoke, dust, and water vapor formed, hiding the Sun for many years.
This period is described in the Mexican codices as follows: “An immense night reigned over the entire American continent, of which all traditions speak unanimously: the sun seemed not to exist for this destroyed world, which was illuminated at times only by ominous fires, revealing to the few human beings who survived these disasters the full horror of their situation.” After the destruction of the fourth sun, the world was plunged into darkness for twenty-five years.
The Armenian rock painting from the Geghama Mountains stands as a testament to the ancient knowledge and understanding of natural disasters, offering a unique perspective on how early civilizations recorded and predicted catastrophic events.
