“Epics of ancient peoples are spiritual. They are interpretations of prayers to God, cosmology and the divine calling of man,” he believes. h:Artur Armin, author of the film “The Mystery of Mheri Door”, with whom we talked about the “Sasna Tsrer” epic, the Mheri door inscription, the discoveries made.
– When the premiere of the film “The Mystery of the Dark Door” took place at Kino House, the hall was full. Did you expect such a reaction?
– To be honest, I didn’t expect it. It’s a science documentary, and I thought people would leave after 5-10 minutes due to the weight of the material, but the opposite happened. they stayed until the end. People feel their root, their beginning.
The Mheri door inscription is a ritual calendar-calendar. I found that the numbers of bull and ram sacrifices are based on mathematical and geometrical patterns. Taurus and Aries have astrological significance. Each bull represents one draconian semester. And the total number of rams is the number of days in the lunar year. On the door of Mher, about 3000 years before us, the first month begins with the Sun month and ends with Mehekan, that is, the month of February. It starts on March 21 and ends on February 21.
– Since when did Mher’s door and inscription attract your attention? Did you do this study alone?
– 2007 Historian Artak Movsisyan sent me the history of Armenian history, I looked through it and on the first page I saw the translation of the Mheri door inscription and independently I started counting the number of rams and bulls and immediately saw the mathematical and geometric relationship. Then, when Artak called, I asked why they didn’t write about it, he said that there is no such thing. Then, the monument expert Samvel Karapetyan gave me the dimensions of Mher’s door, and I went, measured with my own hands and found the Urartian size. It turned out that the width and height of the door is made in proportion to the gold ratio.
I think 95-97 percent of the mystery of Mher’s door has been fully revealed.
– You mention that a ram sacrificed to the gods means one day. In:how did you understand?
– By number. The door of Mher is a 365-day calendar, and it is called a lunisolar calendar, and they are all calculated by the astrologers. The arc of the ecliptic, which rotates in two halves, was divided into 5-day or 10-day intervals, and that the constellation-god rises at sunrise, a few tens of minutes before the sun’s rays, that is its zero point. The next day he will leave 4 minutes earlier.
– You are talking about the stars, for example, some archaeologists do not consider Karahunj an observatory. What would you say?
– The one who says that there was no observatory, but a tomb, proved himself that it was an observatory. If it is a mausoleum, then it is an observatory. According to the old belief, the king, the hero, the priest, in short, after death goes to his god, who is the astrologer. The mausoleum, the temple, the sanctuary and the astrologer are one whole complex.
What did observatory or astronomy mean in ancient times? they thought they were going to find the lens of the Byurakan observatory in Karahunj, they would say, yes, is it an observatory? Ancient astronomy had one function: to measure time, which was as necessary as air. Spring sowing, autumn sowing, birth of a child, keeping for 7 days after burial… all this comes from paganism. People were able to determine the time by the position of the sun, how high it is above the horizon. Let me say the words of Hrachya Acharyan. the peasant says: when will you go out tomorrow, he answers: when the star of the plow has risen, I should already be there. Now this villager is not an astronomer, so what is he? The Plow Star is today’s Aries constellation. The time was determined by the stars and was passed down from father to son. And the tomb in general should be connected with ancient faith, astrology. So, I don’t understand the contradictory conversations that reach the point of absurdity.
– It is interesting that you consider the heroes of the “Sasna Tsrer” epic to be gods.
– They are gods. When morons talk about the “Sasna Tsrer” epic, it is already annoying. Archaeologist, orientalist Hovsep Orbeli said that the heroes of the Armenian epic are gods, and the Armenian epic is older than the Greek one, and brings an important pattern. Older, archaic gods are endowed with one function, because in our epic every hero-god has one function. Greek Zeus is both a judge and a blackmailer. It has 10 functions. it means that he has fallen.
However, they say that the heroes of the epic are historical persons. Uncle Toros is supposedly Toros Rshtun, David is Davit Bagratuni. And all those who say that the epic is based on historical heroes, then I ask a question, which historical hero is the dragon, maybe it was your uncle? The lightning-sword is the weapon of the thunder deity.
It is necessary to understand and evaluate correctly. as if you had gold, but use it instead of copper. It is a bad thing and also a crime against world science.
Regarding the statue of David of Sassoon, do you understand that this is the statue of the thunder deity that is 50-60,000 years old?
It is entirely about the gods, it is religious preaching, what is the epic story? It should be called an ancient fairy tale, which is our birth certificate, religious world knowledge.
– Now Sanasar and Baghdasar or Dzenov Ohan are gods of what?
– All Indo-European twins, Indra and Agni, are twin brothers, Sumerians too. Let’s take our Sanasar and Baghdasar. one is silver. Sanasar is a silver circle. In one of the stories of the epic, he says: what should they give for my head? They say: half a copper for your head, one for your horse, he gets angry and says no, three silvers for my head and two silvers for my horse. There is the mystery of the trinity. The heroes show who they are one by one.
Hovsep Orbeli was the first to say that our Hersians are gods. Vergo of the dew is the deity of rain, Ohan of Dzenov is the bull. He pulls the bull’s skin and screams. Leo Mher is the “Leo” constellation. If we put these three, it is called vernal equinox, summer solstice, winter solstice. The opponent remains, Misra Melik, the autumnal equinox.
In other words, the heroes of the “Sasna Tsrer” epic acted as gods in ancient times. Tsovinar, the deity of the cosmic pre-waters, the twins Sanasar and Baghdasar, hydrogen-gun beings who fight with the dragons of the sky and the underworld. Uncle Thoros is identified with the deity of the windstorm, which, with his six-legged steed, having traveled hundreds of kilometers in one day, appears in the cities of Van, Arzrum, and Kars. And Dzenov Ohan, Tsran Vergo, according to academician H. They are deities of lightning, thunder and rain. Even the “enemy”, Misra Melik, also appears as a deity. This deity is invoked with the lunar year of 360 days; Melik’s gurz weighs three hundred and sixty liters.
What did Tsovinar get pregnant from, 1.5 handfuls of water? After 9 months, 9 days, 9 hours, she gave birth and had twins. Go back from the Gemini and you will reach the Virgo constellation. Or, he says, chew 40 peach branches. If you open the Babylonian horoscope, it is written chewing a branch, a tree standing behind a lion or a girl is drawn. There are even pictures of the tiles. Pictures of 12 of our gods in 1995. were found in the ancient site of Vani Vern Ansav. A royal shield is found, broken, and just as the gods are lined up in the Mheri door inscription, on this shield we see the pictures of 12 gods, each standing on the corresponding animal. If we compare it with the Babylonian one, we see that on that day, at that hour, a goat rises, in sequence, the god standing on the goat on the shield and his name is Turk. Turk is not ugly, Turk is ugly. Opposite the owl constellation is Angeghya Turk.
