= Sen- Germen= PlantMan® Concept Jewelry To explain the unknown the Armenians created a complex and bewildering theology that drew on the sun and the sky, the four elements, plant and man, that was included a pantheon of human gods and goddesses in pagan time. Their beliefs greatly influenced the ancient world and have been incorporated into many ancient religions such as Zoraostriszm , Manuizm and then Christianity. This remarkable experience of the ancient science and spiritual practices of our grandfathers that created a renaissance in the culture, technology and art of Noah’s Land unfortunately disregard today.

PlantMan® Invention Story of Sun and Moon Silvers After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 6th century, there was a decline in knowledge in the Western World and a period of regression, known to us as the Dark Ages. During the next 600 years the center of gravity of intellectual thought shifted to the Moslem world, a byproduct of the invasion and conquest of Byzantium. Moslem scholars who collected and translated the manuscripts from antiquity and developed scientific and technological schools of learning translated the manuscripts of antiquity from Greek and Armenian to Arabic. Yet, vestiges of scholarship persisted in the monastery libraries where learning was kept alive and although the influence of the Church was more interested in theology than natural history. History relates that during the sovereignty of sultan Arslan ibn Masud in Konia, which lasted from 1156 to 1192, the knowledge of spiritual science and chemistry was as important to people as being preceptor. The astrologist of sultan Aslan the Khubaish from Konia, called Khubaish Tiflisi, a title conferred by 1170-1185 for his love to Tiflis where he stays, was an early member of Sufi Order that established scholarly houses in the Middle East. Tiflis was the capital of Georgia, where about sixty-five percent of population was Armenian and influence of Armenian culture and science was substantial. During apprenticeship in Tiflis he was inspired by rich prehistoric culture of Armenian and starts study ancient Armenian science and visiting the famous spiritual centre of medieval Armenia the Sanahin monastery to learn «Tractate of Chemical Art», «The story of seven wise mans», «Interpretation on Surreptitious of Virgins» manuscripts in the library of Sanahin monastery. His knowledge about Paleolithic-Neolithic artifacts of Ukhtasar and Geghama Mountains, astrological monument of Karaunj that back to 12,000 to 25,000 years old record persuades to become skilled at ancient culture of civilization that complement his knowledge about wisdom of transformation that influenced the revival of botanical and horticultural information based on the writing of antiquity in his work “Alchemy” and “Manuscript of Workmanship” (“Bayan as-sanaath”). Tiflisi found the strong connection in between Armenian and Babylonian-Assyrian culture and science of metal-crafting and knows that early Armenian jewelry art was largely dominated by the belief of signs and omens involving the priest as both diviner and exorcist yet including metallically treatment in medicine. The later on, the examination of clay tablets in the library of King Assurbanipal of Assyria (668–626 BCE) where identified 120 mineral and several metals that were used for medical treatment including silver, gold, cupper, zinc, etc confirm Tiflisi findings. By using his knowledge of metal-crafting in “Manuscript of

Workmanship” Tiflisi introducing the plant and man metamorphoses, ceramic making, technology of glazing and alchemical Sun and Mood silver making. PlantMan® Metamorphoses Acadian, Sumerian, Assyrian and Hettetian populations mingling with Semitic and West Asian immigrants formed a people and created the Armenian history. The studies of the Cave Paintings or Stone Crafts that existed in Armenian Highland confirm the idea of anthropologists, that, cognition processes of different nations depending on their cultural factors. Studying the rich cultural heritage, which we’ve got from our forefathers, particularly the pictures on the rocks, discovered in the territory of Armenia as well as historical manuscripts and archeological-ethnographic researches given us references about developed art and craft culture of Armenia. Entire pictures of Plant and Animals, Hunting and Plot, Birth and Space, Moon and Sun, Snake and Tree that are described in sequence on the petrography’s, are talking about the later stages of the development of thinking process. By the creation of pictures on the rocks, our forefathers improved their organs of sight: developed visual ability, memory, scope of logical exercises, sensitiveness to the symbols, in terms of the theory of informatics and artificial intellect, developed the visual functions of image recognition. Instead of imaginative ideas the influence of verbal thinking made possible the Man self-identification by living in balance and harmony with Nature. The earliest connections of Plant and Man we found in art and mythology. And it’s not a secret that mythology is the handmaid of literature, and literature promotes happiness. Myths were told or sung to people at least 7,000 years ago. They were told to explain dreams or reasoning for certain happenings or to understand their gods. Homer was a poet around 900 B.C. and was the main recorder of most myths, although there were poets who sang hymns and told stories of the mythological characters some 2,000 years before Homer. It is trough that many modern authors have glamorized myths and made them interesting to read, but also trough that the Sumerian and Armenian brought their gods to the Persian and Egyptian. The Greeks brought their gods to the Romans. But the Romans had also other gods: Pomona, goddess of the fruit; Flora, goddess of flowers; Lucina, goddess of childbirth; and many more. The study of Greek mythology shows that there are about 52 herbs which influenced by the gods and goddesses to our language, literature, art, culture, customs, politics, astronomy, and our calendar. Wars have been fought, trade routes established, lives sold, and cultures, countries and businesses founded, all in the name of the PlantMan. The Plant became a part of the man and Man found self-identification trough plants. Historically, these phenomena of METHAMORPHOSES or reincarnation of Man to the Plant and Plant to the Man are rich in myth, legend, artifacts, prehistoric rock crafting, lore, romance, and business that influenced to the jewelry invention like art and nature.
