The Armenian Alphabet: A Divine Masterpiece
The Armenian alphabet, created in 405 AD by Mesrop Mashtots, is a unique linguistic and mathematical marvel. Mashtots, with the help of Patriarch Sahak Partev and King Vramshapouh, developed this script through divine inspiration, as described by Mashtots’s pupil, Koryun.
The first sentence written in the Armenian alphabet was:
“Ճանաչել զիմաստութիւն եւ զխրատ, իմանալ զբանս հանճարոյ.”
“To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding.”
Linguistic and Numerical System
The alphabet originally had 36 letters, with two added in the 12th century. Each letter also serves as a numerical value in Armenia’s ancient calendar and mathematical system.
Sacred Geometry
The alphabet’s structure is rich in symbolism, with the first letter (Ա) representing God (Astvats) and the last (Ք) representing Christ (Kristos). Arranged geometrically, the letters form shapes like an equilateral triangle, symbolizing the Christian Trinity.
Alchemy and the Periodic Table
A mind-blowing secret: the numerical values of the Armenian alphabet align with the atomic numbers of the seven ancient metals: gold, silver, copper, etc. For example, the Armenian word for gold (Voski) adds up to 79, which matches the atomic number of gold in the periodic table. This connection is a mystery since the periodic table wasn’t known in Mashtots’s time.
A Visionary Creation
The Armenian alphabet remains a masterpiece, with divine or visionary origins that continue to fascinate historians and linguists.
