We continue the climatic theme. Let me remind you that there is an established theory of glaciations and interglacials. These periods last hundreds of thousands and millions of years, but despite this, the world today is preparing for the next climate change. Only there is no idea about this change.
In my article "Climate: Styles in Art as a Reflection of Cataclysms and the Short History of the Earth" I began to state the hypothesis of the climatic period. In the history of the Earth, it begins in 981 and ends in 2018.
In 988, Prince Vladimir conducted the rite of the baptism of Rus. It is this action - BAPTISM - that means the passage of mankind across the water border and the exit to life on the "planet" Earth: baptism - Greek. βάπτισμα - "immersion in water". Therefore, it is no coincidence that the next coincidence of dates: starting from 981, 988 is the eighth year, and, according to Macrobius, the Romans washed newborns in water on the eighth day after birth. What is a day for a person, is a year for the World …
Baptism is a SACRAMENT, that is, a mystery - a sacred rite, in which the invisible grace of God is communicated under a visible image. In Christianity, it is believed that this sacrament was established by Jesus Christ himself, but the roots of baptism go back to the pre-Christian mysteries. Suffice it to remember the Celtic god Jesus.
Baptism is designed to change the inner essence of a person. In baptism, a person dies in the flesh "in the form of mortification represented by water" (Gregory of Nyssa), but is reborn from the Holy Spirit. A person washes away all previous sins from himself. The Epistle to the Romans says: “So we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also can walk in a new life” (Rom. 6: 4).
And, finally, baptism is performed with the involvement of the godfather and mother, who are obliged to share the work of the parents in raising the child.
Baptism is a Christian version of the description of those ancient events when the first man appeared on Earth. This is the very first moment of humanity, therefore it is captured in all traditions, which, however, freely juggle its dates. Since this myth is the main one, we will consider it in great detail.

This myth is fully described in the Russian folk tale "By the Pike's Command." Algorithm of the myth: the old king Perun becomes a father; for some reason, he puts the baby son Dazhbog and his mother the mermaid Ros in a barrel (basket, box, etc.) and throws it into the river (sea); but they miraculously save themselves (saves and adopts the daughter of the king, pharaoh, etc. - hence the idea of godparents) and equip a new magical white kingdom - Russia.
Perun is a father, personifying LIGHTNING, living in the original water-air Earth. The myth shows that lightning conceived life in water, which then overcame the initial water element and got out onto land. The mermaid Ros is exactly why the mermaid is that she, born in the old, watery world, survived in the new, earthly world and was able to learn to breathe earthly air.
The personification of natural phenomena can only be a poetic move. But it cannot be ruled out that this myth should be taken literally: that is, the first woman with a child was able to get out of the water and inhabit the land. Analysis of history for fiction and reliability shows that such a landfall took place in 981 (or a little earlier).
The Greek version of this myth says: the king of Argos, Acrisius, learned from the oracle that he was destined to die at the hands of his daughter's son Danae; Acrisius imprisoned Danae in a tower; the thunderer Zeus (Perun) penetrates to it in the form of a golden rain; Danae gave birth to Perseus (Dazhbog); Acrisius placed his daughter and grandson in a box and threw them into the sea; Danae and Perseus were saved - their box was nailed by waves to the island of Serifos.
Among the ancient Egyptians: Isis with the child Horus hid from Set in the swamps of the Delta; the goddess Wajit acted as the nurse of the young Horus and helped Isis to save the child.
This tale in different versions can be found in the Old Testament: God expels Adam and Eve from Paradise. The same outcome is described in the form of the expulsion of the Jews from Egypt. The Book of Exodus tells: the Egyptian Pharaoh ordered to kill all the newborn boys, but the mother of Moses, Yaga Veda, hid him in a basket and let her go through the waters of the Nile; Pharaoh's daughter found the basket and adopted the child. The same myth in the plot with Noah and his ark.
In the New Testament, the Romans kill Jesus - the son of the Virgin Mary (Sea) and God, and he is resurrected. Among Christians: after the death of the Apostle James in 44, his remains were put into a boat and launched along the waves of the Mediterranean; miraculously, this boat sailed to Spain, where the saint had preached earlier, and was thrown ashore at the mouth of the Ulya River, where the city of Santiago de Compostela later arose.
For the Spaniards, the 1st expedition of Christopher Columbus took place in the year of the end of the world - 1492 - 1493 (7000 - 7001); on the ships "Santa Maria" ("Holy Mary"), "Pinta" (English "Mug"), "Niña" (Spanish El Niño - "baby" or Spanish La Niña - "girl"; Russian babysit). Juan de la cosa, on his 1487 world map, depicted the Virgin Mary with a baby inside a star capsule, heading towards America.
In 1639, hieromonk Nikon (the future patriarch), while escaping from the Solovetsky monastery, suffered a disaster near the rocks on the way to the mouth of Onega, but escapes in the bay of Kiy-island; in memory of his salvation, Nikon installed a worship cross on the island.
Among the French, Napoleon was exiled to the village of Longwood on Saint Helena: Eng. Longwood has an eloquent etymology, where long - "remote" and wood - "piece of wood", or the wood - "wine barrel".
A. Pushkin expounds the same myth in "The Tale of Tsar Saltan …".
In Italy, the same myth was introduced into the "biography" of the discoverer of electricity - Alexandru Volte: when he was 12 years old, the boy tried to unravel the "secret of golden glitter" in a key near Monteverdi and fell into the water. He was also miraculously saved.
Figure: The symbolism of the ark (from left to right): in the Christian cross, in the coat of arms of Paris, in the coat of arms of Kostroma.
In view of its fundamental nature, the symbolism of this myth is enshrined in the Christian cross, where the "sickle" means the ark, and the cross - the mast and the oblique "Latin (Roman)" mizzen sail, and on the coats of arms of Paris, Kostroma and many other cities. The name of Paris comes from the name of Perun and his epithets. And the name Perun, in turn, is the designation of God - for example, belodvor. Perun [perun], Charsky perω [perou] - "god", Azer. päri, Crimean Tat. ferişte - "angel".
Or epithets. Thunderer shooting lightning arrows from a bow - lit. perkūnas - "thunder", Basque. porru, gypsy. purum - onion. Crossing the border - lit. perėja - "pass"; Est. piir - "line, border, limit"; goll. perk - "limit". Ark in the form of a ferry or other ship - white. ferry, floor. prom, Czech. prám, est. praam, est. parv - "ferry"; Czech prám - "raft"; lat. paro - "light ship, barge".
Thus, the symbolism of the main myth about the miraculous salvation of an infant in the waters of a river or sea indicates that it was such a salvation from which the human race itself began. It is no coincidence that this myth is the basis for the officially scientific theory of the origin of life on Earth.
Only a few "peoples" artificially made their "history" old, pulling the main myth about Perun, his wife and son to an invented depth. Real historical cities and countries operate with correct dates within modern history.
On the climatic chart, the appearance of man on Earth falls on the year 981 and is marked by the myth of baptism. Since this year, the blue line reaches its maximum, and the red line, accordingly, falls to its minimum.
