HEAVEN RESTS UPON ITS FOUR PILLARS

Transfer to FOUR PILLARS: The Urartu script was finally deciphered in 1882 by A. H. Sayce. The oldest of the inscriptions is from the time of Sarduri I of Urartu, whose title was 'King of the Four Quarters'. Interestingly in 1450 B.C. Thutmose III wrote the same regarding the territory of the RMN, (Armani), he recorded that in their land heaven rested on four pillars.

ARMENIAN LANGUAGE HAYKS'
V.V.Ivanov and Tamaz Gamreklide place the Indo-European (Aryan) homeland in Armenian Highland, postulating the Armenian language as an in situ development of a 3rd millennium BC. A Proto-Indo-European language.

The ancient and modern Armenian name for the country was/is  Hayastan, HAYA-STAN.  Hayastan is Haya, combined with the suffix '-stan' for (land). Haya is the 'living Spirit of Dawn, the Macrocosmic infinate spirit of the creator, thus Hayk is Haya with the diminutive suffix K makes of it a microcosmic SOUL.
Hayk was the first great Armenian leader after whom it is said the Land Hayastan was named after. I believe that all three nouns, Hay-astan for the land, Hay for its people and Hayaki for its progenitor first patriarch, He is said to have settled at the foot of Mount Ararat, after building a palace for his grandson Kadmus at the foot of lake Van. He originally traveled to assist in building of a Tower in Babel, and, after his return to the Ararat region and persued for not wanting to finnish theroject he defeated the Babylonian king Bel (believed by some researchers to be Nimrod) in 2492 BC near the mountains of Lake Van, in the southwestern part of historic Armenia (present-day eastern Turkey). Recently a British Museum curator Irving Finkel has thrown light on the period. He tells a real-life detective story that I go into greater detail below. He begins with the arrival in 2008 of a single, palm-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet into his posetion. Dating from about 1850 B.C., this clay document proved to be a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a myth from ancient Mesopotamia containing instructions for building a large boat to survive a flood. Finkel shares his research and additional discoveries that provide unanticipated revelations about the ark before Noah. His recent publications include The Ark Before Noah: He claims after decoding the Story of the Flood, that the ark described in the tablet was circular, essentially a very large coracle or kuphar and that it was made of rope on a wooden frame. Interestingly — Herodotus recorded that the boats known as Kuphars which come down the river to Babylon are circular, and made of skins. The frames, which are of willow, are cut in the country of the Armenians above Assyria.


The collapsed volcanic cone at the summit of Aragats is, according to some interpretations of the Christian Bible’s Old Testament, the landing point of Noah’s Ark. Recently


According to Movses Khorenatsi, Aramaniak -the son of the patriarch and founder of the Armenian nation Hayk- along with his clan, settled in the area of modern-day Aragatsotn. The cemeteries of Verin Naver archaeological site -located 3 km west of Ashtarak- are dating back to the period between the 24th and 14th centuries BC.


Being situated at the heart of the Ayrarat province at the centre of the Armenian Highland, Aragatsotn was among the most strategic regions in the history of Armenia, since its establishment.


Hayk (Haya in Armenic Sumerian) was a chieftain of the Armens, an Armenian tribe at the time of Aratta (The name also resembles Ararat, and the mountain is indeed located in the possible area of Aratta). Hayk is also used in place of Orion, in the Armenian translation of the Bible. The traditional etiology for the ethnonym is from Armenak or Aram, the great-grandson of Hayk's great-grandson, and another leader who is, according to Armenian tradition, the ancestor of all Armenians. Armani is mentioned among the enemies defeated by the Akkadian king Naram-Sin (2300 BC), locating them in the southern Armenian Highland. The Assyrians (direct descendants of Akkadians) to this day refer Armenians by their inscription Armani. Old Persian name 'Armin', means "dweller of the garden of Eden". Thutmose_III of Egypt (1500 BC in his 23rd year records) mentions the people of 'Ermenen' as paying tribute when he held his court at Nineveh, and says that in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars." (To this day Turks refer to Armenians by this form 'Ermeni') Artatama's (Armenian name with 'Arta' prefix) title was "King of the Hurri", which reveals the Hurrian-Aryan Armenian links.








A Babylonian inventory of the Akkadian Empire locates the land Armanî next to Lullubi[1] Another mention by pharoah Thutmose III in the 33rd year of his reign (1446 BC) as the people of Ermenen ("Region of the Minni"), and says in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars".[2] The Kurdish and Turkish form referring to Armenians is Ermenin.


V.V.Ivanov and Tamaz Gamreklide place the Indo-European (Aryan) homeland in Armenian Highland, postulating the Armenian language as an in situ development of a 3rd millennium BC Proto-Indo-European language

So in the 33rd year of his reign, while he was in the Armenian Highlands in 1446 BC, Thutmose III of Egypt, referred to the people of the highlands as Ermenen (Armenians), and said that in their land “heaven rests upon its four pillars”



King, Ara the Beautiful. However during the great battle, one of her lovers shot his arrow at Ara, piercing the King’s chest with the poisoned tip. Ara collapsed to the ground.


By the time the devastating news reached the compound of the Armenian fortress, it was evening, which meant the soldiers had only one night to evacuate the women and children to the mountains, and rescue whatever property they could before the brutal foreigners attacked.


The subjects of the Armenian King decided that under no circumstances should the enemy take hold of the Imperial Throne—it was a symbol of strength and continuity of Armenian kings. The colossal throne was made of plain tree wood and decorated with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.

As the dawn neared, they still were not able to find a secure place to hide the throne. As the enemy’s horsemen got closer and closer to the city wall, the thunder of their hooves grew louder and louder.

Just in time, the subjects decided on a hiding spot—somewhere higher and farther away. This perfect hiding place was on the snowy peaks across from Mt Ararat. They quickly and carefully transported the throne to its temporary home.

By the time the Assyrian soldiers breached the city walls and began looting the castle and its cellars, the city was empty; not one person remained in the houses. However, somehow they found out about the throne being hidden and they searched long and hard, desperate to find it. They searched the hills, valleys and dark gorges; climbed to the peak next to Mt Ararat, but all to no avail. Their search went for days, weeks, months, but all in vain—the throne was gone.

Even though kingdoms have changed and centuries have passed, Armenians remember that starless night. They have not forgotten the death of the King, nor the Imperial Throne. The highest mountain peak in Armenia owes its name to that throne—Aragats.

Before going any further I posit that the referrence "heaven rests upom its four pillars" is alluding to the Aragats massif in todays Armenia which is surrounded by Kasagh River on the east, Akhurian River on the west, Ararat plain on the south and Shirak plain on the north. The circumference of the massif is around 200 km (120 mi), and covers an area of 6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi) or around  1⁄5 of Armenia's total area. 944 km2 (364 sq mi) of the massif is located above 2,000 m (6,600 ft).


ARAGATS translates ARA-KAH in Armenian, meaning the "Throne of Ara" Mount Aragats (Armenian: Արագած, pronounced [aɾaˈgats]; formerly Ալագյազ, Alagyaz; is an isolated four-peaked volcano massif in Armenia. Its northern summit, at 4,090 m (13,420 ft) above sea level, is the highest point of the Lesser Caucasus and Armenia. It is also one of the highest points in the Armenian Highlands. The ancient Armenians had a number of holy sites, the most important of which was Mount Ararat, which was thought to be the home of the gods as well as the center of the Universe. Ararat is the location where Noah landed, touched down, ground zero of the Abrahamic relegeon.

In 20th-century comparative mythology, the term axis mundi (variously also cosmic axis, world axis, world pillar, center of the world, world tree) was greatly extended to refer to any mythological concept representing "the connection between Heaven and Earth" or the "higher and lower realms"

Located in the four cardinal directions, as seen above Mount Aragats has four summits, they are a group of four mountains or pillars which obviously hold up the sky or Heaven in Armenia. They are symbolically important as a type of axis mundi and cosmology. Their functions in Armenian mythology could have ranged from pillars which functioned to hold the beautiful and heavenly ARA seated on an Earth Throne its four legs planted solid on the Earth and its peaks holding up the circular canopy of the Sky (or Heaven), allowing travel between the two, defining the location as paradise or the wonderland which associated with magical people like Ara, Atarghatis and Noah, the plants, and the animals in pairs, everything two by two.


The name of the mountain is less often spelled Aragatz or Aragac. According to Armenian tradition, Aragats originates from the words Արա Ara + գահ gah, which translates to "Ara's throne". Ara refers to the legendary Armenian hero Ara the Beautiful. Aragats was mentioned by the early medieval historian Movses Khorenatsi. In his History of the Armenians Khorenatsi claims that the mountain is named after Aramaneak, the son of Hayk, the legendary father of the Armenian people. The Orion-Aryan Armenian sun cult — a winged sun disk — was flanked on both the Right and Left by a pair of eagles and lions — symbolic of the solar power/energy. The lion and Eagle survive as symbols today.

NARA is the Arabic word for fire and the HOLY LIGHT.

Aramaneak called his possessions "the foot of Aragats" (classical Armenian: ոտն Արագածոյ, otn Aragats'oy; modern: Aragatsotn).The modern Aragatsotn Province, dominated by the mountain, was formed in 1995.

A relatively modern name for the mountain is Alagöz, which literally means "variegated eye" in Turkish. This term was widely used up until the mid-20th century in European, Tsarist Russian, and early Soviet sources. A variant of the word, Alagyaz (Ալագյազ), was used in Armenian. A village on the foot of Aragats is named Alagyaz.


British Museum curator Irving Finkel tells a real-life detective story that began with the arrival in 2008 of a single, palm-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet. Dating from about 1850 B.C., this clay document proved to be a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a myth from ancient Mesopotamia containing instructions for building a large boat to survive a flood. Finkel shares his research and additional discoveries that provide unanticipated revelations about the ark before Noah. His recent publications include The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood (2014). The ark described in the tablet was circular, essentially a very large coracle or kuphar and made of rope on a wooden frame. Interestingly — Herodotus recorded that the boats known as Kuphars which come down the river to Babylon are circular, and made of skins. The frames, which are of willow, are cut in the country of the Armenians above Assyria.The boats are of various sizes, some larger, some smaller; the biggest reach as high as five thousand talents' burthen. Each vessel has a live ass on board; those of larger size have more than one. When they reach Babylon, the cargo is landed and offered for sale; after which the men break up their boats, sell the straw and the frames, and loading their asses with the skins, set off on their way back to Armenia. The current is too strong to allow a boat to return upstream, for which reason they make their boats of skins rather than wood. On their return to Armenia they build fresh boats for the next voyage. It seem to me that all societies retell stories of catastrophe and Atrahasis’s story is one of the best told which warns of disasterous concequences that will destroy humanity. It differs from the Bible’s account in not having an angry God eager to chastise; Atrahasis gets news of the impending bitter waters because he listens to a voice outside his wall of reeds telling him to expect the worst. Those who lived in Mesopotamia were in many respects like us, thoughtless. They could see how fragile all life was and they wanted to know whether it was possible to stay above the waters, away from the heard, in the event of the obvious impending disaster, obvious to a wise seer like Atrahasis, as the name in translated suggests. Atarhasis alone heard the message, for it was not written on the wall. And he got the message to build an Ark. As did Noah, Atarhasis listen to your voices, he survived and became the progenitor of upright god fearing civilised humanity. A message of this terrific book is that we too, modern man, as we may consider ourselves, should do the same. The story of the Babylonian flood drew attention because of its similari to the flood in the Book of Genesis, which was well-known, but this tablet provided even more startling information that people did not anticipate, according to Ancient Code. The tablet told of the Babylonian tale, and according to it, the god Enki told the Babylonian Noah, Atrahasis, to build an ark, and according to the old text, the ark used “quantities of palm-fiber rope, wooden ribs and bathfuls of hot bitumen to waterproof the finished vessel.”

Acording to Finkels decoding of the cuniform tablet, given the amount of rope described in the text, when stretched out in a line, would reach from London to Edinburgh. This lends itselfd to the idea that the Ark is a metaphor as is the fish/boat that saved the Hindu Manu again the first Man/Mind that brought forward Civilized Man as we know him today in pairs, by defining the creative or created spirit as the one that needs both a father and a mother and the definition of a Father being the relevent factor in the success of the experiment.The Ark would have an area of about 2.2 square miles.The oldest extant map of the world is depicted on a clay tile. The map was found in Iraq, in 19 century. Now it is stored in the British Museum.


This Babylonian map of the World dates back to 6 century BC. According to cartographer Ruben Galchyan, the map shows the world in the form of a circle, surrounded by “bitter” waters, in which there are 7 islands. In the center of the map is Babylon, next to it Armenia and Assyria are depicted. Another 7 cities are depicted in a form of small circles. The part called Bit Jakinu is probably the modern Iraqi Marshes. From the mountains of Armenia, the Euphrates River flows through Babylon and Marshes, and reaches the Persian Gulf.

ON the back of the tile there is a text that describes seven islands in the sea and unusual creatures living there. The islands are depicted in a form of triangles, most of which are damaged and illegible.Below is a drawing of the ancient map is the Babylonian stellate map drawn on a brick (6th c. B.C.). The Babylonian stellate map with geographical names on it is the fi rst well-known map in the world. The world is represented as a fl eating disc in the sea. The map is surrounded by salt water and there are seven islands on it. On that map Armenia is indicated in the northern territory from Mesopotamia, and it borders with Babylon and Assyria in the southern part. On the upper right side of the map the word Armenia is written. The Euphrates River is originated from the mountains. Assyria, Babylon and seven cities including Habban, Derri, Bitlakina and other cities are also indicated on the map. The islands are in a triangle shape and the Sun, the Moon as well as the fl ora and fauna are indicated on them. Today only Armenia exists from the above mentioned countries and cities









Babylonian Map of the World – The oldest map of the world

This map, for me, leaving out the idea behind the "Cosmic Ocean" encircling the World, which at the time was known to include Egypt, Canaan, Phoenicia, Syria, the Greeks of Asia Minor, Elam, Media and Persia, all nations that do not appear, suggest to me that this map is concerned, or simply plots out the Tigris' and Euphrates' beginning in the mountains of Armenia, encircling an acientof Assyria and Babylonia, ending in the marshes extending from Nedjef to Qurna, which it does.

The Babylonian "World Map" map is highly schematized:The double circle surroundsing Babylon appears on a rectangle in the center. This circle is labeled in cuneiform the Nar Marratum, translated to mean nar= "river," (Arabic: nahr= "river") marratum= "bitter" (Arabic: marah, myrrh, merra, murr, murrat also mean "bitter").




The usual scholarly explanation is that this River is being called "bitter" because it represents the idea of the Cosmic Ocean surrounding the earth separating the waters above from the waters below.

Surrounding the Circle-River ("Bitter River/Bitter waters," or "Cosmic-Ocean") are eight triangles, sometimes interpreted as being "islands" beyond the "Bitter Ocean" which encircles the land/world of Babylonia.

To the SE of Babylon appears Deri, to the NE of Babylon is Asshur and Armenia, to the NW of Babylon is Habban and to the SW of Babylon is Bit-Ya'kin ( bit= "house" or "tribe" of Ya'kin" or Ja'kin)

All agree that Armenia is the mountainolus area of Eastern Turkey that the map is referring to.

I have alwaysa thought about the ark as a metaphor or symbolic in our lives.

The Fifth Element, the wood gopher of the Arc of Noah with instructions for the Ark as specified “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood (atzei gopher)” could mean: do not get angry. Bitumen (gaphrit) signifies anger. In making an Ark of gopher wood you are to enclose anger, and not manifest it? “Make it an ark with compartments (kinim)” could mean: do not get inebriated, rather maintain inner balance. “Compartments (kinim)” are chambers, like one who has many chambers in their house has to be settled in their mind to know the location of each chamber and its use... “Cover it (vekhapharta) inside and out with pitch” could mean: be forbearing. “Cover it (vekhapharta)” signifies forgiving (tekhaper) from the depths of your heart, so that nothing remains of any anger against your fellow. (Mei Hashiloah)

From a Magical Treatise on the Properties and Inherent Nature of Elemental Wood so as to understand its use as a metaphor or alegory as related to the ARK.

Whereas each of the Four Elements, complete unto itself, maintains a Proper Balance between itself and the Pillars of Creation, and the Cardinal Directions, and the True and Proper Wandering Planets, and Many and Wondrous Other Things that manifest themselves in the Splendour of Being, the scholar is well-advised to consider them to be Complete and Whole unto Themselves, unblemished by exclusion of Any Principle by which they cannot so Effect.


Yet beyond this Wholeness there exists a Deeper Integration, the Blending and Manifestation of Kether in Malkuth, and within this Primal Form exists the Wondrous and Resplendant Form of True Wood.


TobySmith’s project, was interestingly titled “Heaven and Earth on Aragats,” however it ended up being less about showcasing a retreating glacier than it was about the disappearing livelihood of those who depend on Aragats.







Lapis Lazuri, again takes us to ancient Armenia, named the Armenian stone it was attributed with great healing, purifying and curative properties, the 'Armenian Stone' allegedly points the way to enlightenment, and aids in the opening of the Third Eye. Popular with ancient alchemists (who knew it as sapphirus), it was used in medicine, cosmetics and paintings. It was also believed to confer ability, success, divine favor, ancient wisdom and cure sore throats. No wonder it was as valuable as gold!

FLAT EARTH CIRCULAR DOME, FOUR CORNERS AND PILLARS - THE ARCHITECTURAL PENDENTIVE!







A DOME RESTING UPON A SQUARE BASE "THE EARTH IS HIS FOOTSTOOL"
While reading up on Byzantine Architecture, I stumbled on this statement:


"The most distinctive feature was the domed roof... and


To allow a dome to rest above a square base, either of two devices was used:




The squinch (an arch in each of the corners of a square base that transforms it into an octagon) or the pendentive." (As shown here.)


In masonry the pendentives receive the weight of the dome, concentrating it at the four corners where it can be received by the piers beneath.




Flat Earth Model -


The Flat Earth Model has clear precedent in the architectural pendentive. It supports exactly what the Flat Earth model, as well as the Bible itself, states is the structure of the Earth:


A circular dome, or 'firmament' resting on a flat 'table' with four corners and pillars beneath, as seen in the picture above.


This illustrates the flat surface of the earth on which rests the circular dome. This in turn rests on the four pillars below the surface -


'The pillars of the earth' (1 Samuel 2:8) AND the 'pillars of heaven' (Job 26:11), as they hold up the entire structure.




Pillars of the Earth -


The pendentive model in Byzantine architecture is dependent upon the use of these piers, or pillars, below the structure:


"It is a constructive device permitting the placing of a circular dome over a square room (or an elliptical dome over a rectangular room)."


A pier, in architecture, is an upright support for a structure or superstructure: A solid support designed to sustain vertical pressure, in particular.




Pillars of Heaven -


These pillars,or piers, are mentioned in the Bible as an essential part of the earth's structure as well:


"...For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them. (1 Samuel 2:8)


"The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof." (Job 26:11)




Dome, Circle & Four Corners -


The Bible also speaks of the 'Four Corners of the Earth' as well as the 'Circle of the Earth' - The 'dome' - or firmament of 'heaven'.


The Bible further speaks of God as the original architect and 'maker': "Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is..." (Psalm 146:6)


"He hath compassed the waters with bounds..." (Job 26:10)






God, the True Architect -


The Lord God is the true 'architect' of this world, complete with 'compass' to circumscribe the waters with bounds!


In fact there are many Bible verses that speak of the Lord being the ultimate and original 'architectural genius' of the heaven and earth. Here are just a few:


"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:3)


"For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." (Hebrews 11:10)


The Earth is His Footstool -
"Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath
mine hand made." (Isaiah 66:1-2)
Hayg Etymology
The modern Armenian name for the country was Hayk, or later and present Hayastan. Haya, combined with the suffix '-stan' (land). Hayk was one of the great Armenian leaders after whom the The Land of Hayk was named. He is said to have settled at the foot of Mount Ararat, traveled to assist in building the Tower of Babel, and, after his return, defeated the Babylonian king Bel (believed by some researchers to be Nimrod) in 2492 BC near the mountains of Lake Van, in the southwestern part of historic Armenia (present-day eastern Turkey). Nairi, meaning "land of rivers", used to be an ancient name for Armenia and Armenians, used by Assyrians and Egyptians.

AR/UR the root of ARKTO Greek, URSA Latin, ARCH Armenian all referring to the GREAT BEAR, URSA MAJOR AND the LITTLE BEAR, URSA MINOR.
I will start with story of how the proto-Germanic tribes replaced their original word for bear—arkto—with this euphemistic expression "bear" which is said to be from the Proto-Indo-European word *ǵʰwḗr- ~ *ǵʰwér "wild animal". This terminology for the animal originated as a taboo avoidance term: out of fear that speaking the animal's true name might cause it to appear. According to author Ralph Keyes, this is the oldest known euphemism. Euphemisms are intended to amuse, while others use bland, inoffensive terms for concepts or that the user wishes to downplay. Euphemisms may be used to mask truths or secrets. The English word "bear" comes from Old English bera (BR) and belongs to a family of names for the bear in the Germanic languages, Bear taxon names such as Arctoidea and Hel-arctos come from the ancient Greek ἄρκτος (arktos), meaning bear, as do the names "arctic" and "ant-arctic", via the name of the constellation Ursa Major, the "Great Bear", prominent in the northern sky. Bear taxon names such as Ursidae and Ursus come from Latin Ursus/Ursa, he-bear/she-bear.
THE Etymology OF BEAR AS IN TO CARRY, TO BEAR AS IN A VERB. NOT THE BEAR, THE ANIMAL (WHICH BY THE WAY HAS NO TAIL) AS IN URSA MAJOR AND MINER. IN ARMENIAN WE HAVE THE VERB GRE/BEAR AS IN THE VERB TO BEAR
A SYNONYM OF PLOW/PLOUGH IS 'BRING TO LIGHT' OR 'TURN OVER' BRING FORTH.
What is another word for come to light? emerge, appear, materialize, surface, arise, transpire, turn up, come out, be revealed.

In some colloquial speech, beared can be found for both the simple past and the past participle, although it is usually considered nonstandard and avoided in writing. Similarly, bore may be extended to the past participle; the same provisos apply for this form.
