Grant name: Identification of global climate change indicators using cosmogeoprediction technology to compare data on sacred sites in Greater Altai and North America
Local partner: Ethnoculturological and ecological research laboratory of AruSvati Center
Country: Russian (Altai Republic)
Background and objective
Climate change is a global problem. Any, even the smallest changes, influence the occurrence, existence, and passing of civilizations, peoples, and cultures. This issue is particularly relevant in the Greater Altai region – often recognized as the birthplace of many peoples and a crossroads of ancient human migrations throughout Eurasia and other continents such as North America. Using interdisciplinary research to study landscape and historical-cultural sites in the sacred Karakol Valley unique aspects we identified that support the hypothesis that ancient builders in the natural-cultural landscape of this valley possessed significant knowledge about the Earth’s physics. Some sites were consciously “magnetized” and thus synergistically linked to the Earth’s magnetic poles, creating an energy information corridor for exchange. There is a corrective effect by these sites on disorders in the human body, by means of providing energetic information resources to achieve self-regulation and self-healing.
This project proposes an applied culturological exchange in Native American sacred sites using sacred site research methodology and cosmo-geoforecasting techniques, developed in Phase 1 of the project in 2016, for long-term forecasting of hydrometeorological characteristics to support human adaptation to potential natural anomalies. The project will develop contemporary methods of climate change adaptation and create an information resource for strategic development and implementation of traditional indigenous health systems, healing, and economic wellbeing.
The materials gathered are sufficient to create an informative and educational film on the initiative’s topic. Continuing Phase 1 of the initiative, a number of marker sacred territories in Colombia and Ecuador have been identified. These marker territories can play a significant role in developing a model for the adaptation of indigenous peoples to climate change. A map of marker sacred territories of Greater Altai and South America was prepared. It can play a significant role in developing climate change adaptation models for indigenous populations. Based on the initiative activities.it can be argued that Arusvati Center is now an international information exchange platform for the conservation and development of sacred lands of Greater Altai (Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan and China).
Local partner information
The Scientific Research Laboratory for Ethnoculturological and Ecological Research was established jointly within two scientific institutions: Polzunov Altai State Technical University and the Institute for Water and Ecological Problems (Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences). Today the laboratory is a structural subdivision of the AruSvati Ethnocultural Scientific Education Center. The goals of the laboratory are to create a productive scientific research atmosphere to study factors determining local diversity in subsistence systems for the population of Greater Altai, and develop, implement and research technologies processes to improve, modernize and increase the quality of education.
