Page 2 of 2 Years later historians will discover that on that day a miniature amulet discovered in the 19th century disappeared. The amulet was of great importance and influence for the history and conception of the beginning Christianity. For 60 years no one knew its fate, as though it has disappeared from the face of the earth. Until the present day when an anonymous announcement was made that the descendants of a Russian officer had handed into to a Museum in Moscow. An international exhibition was held in Moscow and academics from all over the world were invited. The news reaches Vera in the Alps. She is accompanying her father, an influential professor from Eastern Europe, on an expedition to a mystical castle on the Swiss border. In the basement rooms of the castle she stumbles across clay figurines from the first European civilization, known to science as the most developed in the Ancient World. A civilization which had inhabited the Central Balkans 8000 years ago and was the first civilization in the world to have worked with gold, glass, salt and encoded information in numbers, pictograms and a calendar which was to form the basis for the proto-Bulgarian calendar, considered by UNESCO to have been the most accurate in the world. Vera will call its creators the “obliterated civilization of meanderers”, since in the fourth millennium BC, the civilization mysteriously disappears with no obvious reason and they burn down their own temples. The traces of the Obliterated civisilation become so interwoven into the story of the young archeologist that they transform fiction into reality. The facts seem to fit together to such an extent that events seem transformed into a crazy deception or the genius plan of fate. Far away in Rome a mysterious man with harsh eyes and pale skin follows a priest through the corridors of the ancient Roman catacombs. His name is Ariman, the Persian name for the Devil. The Priest wants to show him the signs of a solar code which he has discovered during his work. Ariman’s task is to expunge the last traces. He is one of the few surviving subterranean people who are doing everything possible to hide their world from the people of the Earth. The international archeological conference in Moscow will bring together Ariman, Vera and Dr. Verder, the historian form the Berlin Museum. Each in his or her way is attracted by the last traces of a disappeared civilization about which the academic world still does not know enough. Ludmila Filipova creates her own theory about the disappearance of the Obliterated civilization. She bases her theory on the history professor’s research that proved that due to the shape in which seven stars are arranged they actually did leave these lands. Some of the survivals reach Egypt, some Mycenae, giving rise to so many similarities between the tree civilizations. But the most people of the first civilization just disappeared with no traces. What is incredible is that the same shape of stars is depicted on the stolen Orphic amulet. Vera Kandilova is captivated by her desire to discover the secret of the Obliterated civilization and believes that the traces will lead her to treasure. Within the complex web of facts, manuscripts and myths, she will discover the number of the solar code. It is the key to reading the old manuscript The Parchment Maze. Although she still believes that she is pursuing her own fantasy the code takes her to the gate of the Underworld, which Ovid described in the Metamorphosis, which he calls the “Tenarian Gate”, and its inhabitants “the incorporeal”. The symbols on the Orphic amulet which disappeared from Berlin in 1945 are the key which will open it. The Parchment Maze is a personal investigation by the author containing hundreds of references to real facts, footnotes and academic sources. The historical information contained therein explains to the reader why the story of Orpheus the Sage overlaps with that of Jesus and what happened to the first and most developed civilization which had ever existed in the European continent. And the ancient manuscript which contains the reply might still be in some library somewhere in the world. |
