Armenian alphabet is a prayer?

[yerazhishda]

I heard that the (original) Armenian alphabet is one long anagram-prayer starting with "Asdvadz" and ending with "Krisdos". Does anyone know the prayer or where to find it?

The alphabet has many mysteries. For example, it has been figured out that if you take the numerical number of the letters that spell "voski" (gold in Armenian), the numbers added up equal Gold's atomic number. the same goes for silver, lead and tin (all ancient metals).

Also if you setup the alphabet in a dimond shape, the four corners spell out HAYK.

If you think about all of this, it makes sense...Mesrob Mashdots spent years of studying and prayer to come up with the Armenian alphabet. He didn't just take a couple weks and ascribe a sound to a shape (letter). That tells me that the Armenian alphabet is very special...perhaps ordained by God.

For example: Gold / ՈՍԿԻ

Ո+Ս+Կ+Ի
24+29+15+11=79

79 is the atomic number for gold

...same goes for lead "artchitch"(82), silver "artz" (47) and tin "kalay" (50)

That or Mesrob Mashdots was just way smarter than we give him credit for.

No matter how smart he was there was no way he could have known the atomic weight of yet to be discovered elements! At least by human means.

I read somewhere that there was a guy before Mesrob Mashdots who wrote the alphabet but before his death burned all Armenian history or something like that.

Knowledge of the Armenian alphabet is useful but not essential for appreciation of Armenia's cultural patrimony. However, one sure way to impress on-lookers, including local worthies, is by deciphering the date on medieval inscriptions. Dates are generally marked by the letters ԹՎ or the like, often with a line over, indicating "t'vin" ("in the year") followed by one to four letters, each of which stands for a number based on its order in the alphabet.

In the Middle Ages, Armenians used a calendar that started in AD 552 as the beginning of the Armenian era. To translate into standard years, simply add 551 to the number. Thus, should you see an inscription reading ԹՎ ՈՀԳ, simply check the alphabet table below and see that this equals 600+70+3+551= the year of Our Lord 1224.
