-ARMENIA-THE STONE ANSESTOR OF THE BIBLE-

Armenian Highland is the stone ansestor of the Bible.It is the source of the Biblical knowledge and is one of the birth places of the world Astronomy,Astrology,Math and ancient mythological Cosmogony.

The sources to validate those conclusions are found in the following:

• Development of mankind (according to Bible) is characterized by the existance in a certain historical period of one nation and a single language.
• Development of human characteristics is regarded as an unbroken chain in the motion of society.

• In the development of social and biological structures of a society basis is formed by biological structures and superstructures-i.e. genetic pecularities of mankind development as a living organism determine the essence of human developing characteristics.

  They didn't change greatly in the course of the centuries.The standard-model of human characteristics in the Bible as well as in other religions, and the philosophical theories behind them didn't undergo particular changes.

• Since the development of biological structures is determined by the principle of the least activity, the development of social structures in the long run, reflects the effects of the same principle.

• Biological and social structures are characterized by self development and existance of a negative feed-back. The development of a society is based upon the self-education and self-training.

• Self-education and self-training are impossible without keeping, passing and spreading of information-knowledge,skills and abilities.

• External material vehicles and guardians of the information were paper(before it-leather), but the first were stone, rock surfaces, walls and ceilings of caves.

  Matenadaran(major historical museum in Yerevan, Armenia)-is the well known and unique guardian of the ancient manuscripts, which is closely cherished and preserved by Armenians has become the object of cultural pride in Armenia.

  Up to now, Armenians couldn't imagine that they are the posessors of the price-less wealth for the world civilization, a unique treasure, called Karedaran-the universal complex of rock carvings and ancients drawings, petroglyphs and mystic depictions, left by our ansestors since the dawn of the humanity.

  The first, pre-historic stone Encyclopedia of the humanity, accurately reflecting the evolution of the knowledge and experience of one of the most archaic nations in the world, the first stone University in the history of the Earth, is perfectly situated in the land of Armina, the ancient Aratta-the modern Armenia.

General study and analysis of the Karedaran treasure-the vast stone depo of ancient knowledge depicted on the rocks found in Armenia, show the following:

• The structures found in the rock carvings and drawings are equivalent to the structures that developed astronomy,mathematics, trade, hunting, culture, traditions, world outlook, modes of life, etc. of the inabiting archaic people of the Armenian Highland.

  It is astonishing to witness the extent of methology of cognition and the exposure to passing and originated knowledge that the ancients had in their posessions.

  The majority of experts consider the rock carvings to be of magic sense and religious purpose. They are well known through out the world, dating from the Paleolitic to Middle Ages and vastly represented in the caves and grottoes of Soth France(Combarel, Mostespan,Lasco etc.), North Spain(Altamira, Castilio etc.),in Ural-Russia(Capov-cave), Georgia (in grottoes of Mgvimevi), Azerbaijan (Kobustan) and in Italy, Africa, Mongolia, Sahara, Scandinavia, Carelia and East Sibiria-Russia.

  Rock carvings in Karadaran(Armenia) reflect in aristic form not only economic and spiritual life of people in the corresponding period, but also represent a balanced and developed system of accumulation, keeping, systemizing classification and passing of the knowledge, survived since the antiquity.

• On rock carvings there are found apperances not only of the modern Armenian alphabet but of Greek as well. It is worth noting that these drawings have been preserved in its originality for many thousands of years.

  We may assume that these languages had been taught in the stone University of Armenian Highland as the means of communication. Question arrises as of why precisely Armenian and Greek alphabets had been taught?

  May be not only for the reason that bearers of those languages were located and lived geographically and biologically close by, but because they are from heirs of the common, single language mentioned in the Bible. Our research shows that the meaning of the rock carvings is much more vast and elaborate than that.

• In Karedaran we have found many ancient drawings of a very high, artistic imagination and aesthetic level, reflecting many ancient Armenian legends, myths and epos, frequently resurfaced in archaic Sumerian literature, such as story of Gilgamesh and his adventures.
• Many parts of fundamental Biblical myths, stories and episodes are shown in a rock carvings of Karedaran. This fact gives us grounds to contemplate a hypothesis that Bible is a hand written account of totally projected certain knowledge and information coming from the antiquity.

• Karedaran is a stone text-book of maral principles as well, teaching kindness and structure of moral presepts. Graphic forms of good and evil, social and family relations, love and care, relations with nature, earth and the animal kingdom are shown surprisingly simple and intelligible in their form of rock drawings.
• Decoding of Karedaran is not an easy task. However, there is a key to this task. The nature presented us with the divine triple-Bible, Grikor Narekatsi(ancient Armenian mystic monk, who wrote the Book of Mournful songs) and finally-Paruyr Sevak- the poet-phylosopher and great thinker of our time.

Paruyr Sevak faciliates the search of a way towards the understanding and reading of Grikor Narekatsi(many of his cogitations have truly an immense significance and are not appreciated up to now). In his turn,Grikor Narekatsi faciliates the right understanding and interpretation of the Bible.

Here, the Bible itself becomes the key for the study of human knowledge, the great treasure-Karedaran.We think that the Bible is a living Karedaran guide, opening in itself many mysteries and secrets of our world civilization.In an instance, astonishing results in history of the cultural development, language and religion are received.

The Bible and Karedaran simplify the search for knowledge and reveal a technological sequence which gave a rise to Alphabetic letters and their graphic forms, words and word combinations.

The mechanism of language structure development as means of communication is revealing the technology of accumuluation and knowledge keeping, formation of sciences. Unity and intercommunication of logical and conseptual mentality are brought to light. Psychology and analitical activity of our ansestors come to light with some objective regularities of social life development.

In karedaran we find:

We realize that complex investigation and system of analysis of thousands of pictures(more pictures than the number of papers in the Bible)is a work beyond the strength of a little group of scientists and specialists of the "Search" Centre. Karedaran demands the attention on behalf of our young Armenian State on one hand and of international scientific world-on the other hand.

Suggestions

• With the help of Armenain Foreign Office to put on a suggestion within a framework of the United Nations(UNESCO) to examine the issue of recreating the encyclopedia on the origin of our human civilizations on the territory of historical Armenia and declare the territory as the international cultural and scientific monument, a magnificent treasure to be protected and preserved by the world communtiy derived from its birthright of doing so.

• To organize an International Commission for the development and realization of the program on re-creation of the Karedaran.

• To organize an International Fund in Armenia with branches in other countries possesing the complexes of rock carvings and drawings survived from the antiquity.

• To create a scientific insitution attached to that International Fund for the study of the stone encyclopedia of the human civilization and the museum of rock art.

• We appeal to all governments, scientific organizations, men of art, science, techonology, culture and religion to promote the re-creation of the Karedaran in Armenia.

• Remember that Karedaran is situated near the biblical Ararat mountain, which guards the treasures of human life up to now-precisely knowledge that belongs to everyone.

Knowledge in culture, science and art knows no bounds, yet it has a sense and meaning for all mankind. We think and hope that the President of Armenia can and must declare to the world a program of re-creating the stone treasure of knowledge and draw attention of politicians, scientists and specialists to this problem of restoring the world treasure.

In our view, that will promote the cultural significance of Armenia and its role in human development, and creation of our world civilization. Armenia is not only a country of chemical plants and nuclear power-station.

First of all, Armenia is the country of culture, sciences and art. It is a country where men of genious created, where great artists, phylosophers and thinkers of the Earth have lived.

Imagine, what would the humanity loose if in one time, all databases of knowledge in all languages in the world were destroyed. Karedaran is the place of thousands of rock carvings, ancient drawings, petroglyphs, archaic writtings and manuscripts, containing a unique information, knowledge and experience in one, the only available language for all people-in the language of drawings and ancient rock carvings.
