The Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, Raphael’s Rooms, St. Peter’s Basilica and the breathtaking architecture of one of the most historic places in human history. And yet the most interesting thing is not what lies on the surface, but what lies beneath. It is there that the secret archives are located in a place inaccessible to ordinary people. The archives of the Vatican are amazing. They are a true labyrinth of corridors and floors, full of books, scrolls, and individual sheets. It is estimated that if all the contents of the archive were arranged in a straight line, it would exceed 80 kilometers. Ancient texts, lost documents, objects, over two hundred thousand manuscripts and a bunch of other things that are kept extremely strictly. Of course, as with any other secret, there are various theories about the secret archives. Some believe that the Vatican has long had contact with intelligent civilizations outside our planet and is working with them. That in the ancient archives lies a slightly different story. A history of secret powers, societies and apocalyptic prophecies. Already in the first century, the Catholic Church began to make its notes, and as they were entrusted to the first popes, they assumed the commitment and responsibility of carrying them everywhere with them. With the spread of religion and the rapid accumulation of archives, the Church was forced to start storing them somewhere, and decided that it would be the home of the Pope. So when a Pope dies, his successor will be able to continue the work of his ancestors. In 1404, the Vatican was attacked and Pope Innocent VII was forced to leave Rome as more than 1,000 years of archived history was thrown into the streets like ordinary trash. Thanks to this and several other cases in which important documents were lost, the Vatican decided that it had to store everything in a safe and well-guarded place. The archive officially begins to exist in 1612 during the time of Pope Paul V. The oldest documents that he managed to collect date back to the 8th century, at least that is the official statement, it is very likely that there are also much older texts. In 1612. Pope Paul 5 ordered that all the archives of the Church be kept in one place, right under the Vatican and since then it has been officially known as: Arkeevum Secretum Apostolicum Vaticanum. From then on it has not changed its location. The archive looks more like a fortress and underground bunker than a library. There is only one entrance, although there are doubts about that as well. Let’s first start with what is truly established as being kept in the Vatican’s archive. It is full of historically valuable documents. There are many letters here, written by various individuals to the corresponding Roman pope at the time: The archive keeps the official edicts of the popes. For example, the document by which the German heretic Martin Luther was excommunicated from the church. Another interesting edict is Inter Caetera - the one by which Pope Alexander VI in 1493 divided the world at that time into zones of influence between Spain and Portugal (obviously nothing new under the sun - the USSR and the US are not the first to want to divide the world). In 2001, the archives of the Knights Templar were found after being lost for many years. A long almost 60 meters (!) scroll with details about the process of 1307 against the Templar knights. At the end of the 13th century, when the Templar Order was in its power, when they were all over Europe, they were prosecuted for crimes, condemned, publicly burned and killed. But the documents in the Vatican completely changed the course of the history of the Templars and the Pope at that time. #vaticanarchives #vatican #secretorigins
