Hendaye's Cyclical Cross: a coded calendar?
The so-called "Cyclical Cross" is an enigmatic monument located in the Basque town of Hendaye, in the French Pyrenees Atlantiques. Its esoteric symbolism was analyzed in the XNUMXs by Fulcanelli, the "last of the Alchemists", who saw in the Latin inscription on the arms of the cross and in the bas-reliefs on its pedestal the revelation of the Four Ages of humanity and the prophecy of the cataclysm next future that will come to put an end to the deadly Iron Age.

In the first article of this cycle [cf. Cyclic time and its mythological meaning: the precession of the equinoxes and the tetramorph], we have said that, at regular intervals, due to the precession, some alternations of constellations occur in the four cardinal points of the year. This is the reason why the sacred texts speak of certain "catastrophes" that determine some "submergence" of an old "earth" and the rise of a new one (at least up to a certain time in history). Each age of the world has its "earth", that is its ecliptic plane, delimited by the equinoxes and solstices, which emerges from the "sea", that is, from the demarcation plane of the celestial equator. When the points of the year are determined by other constellations, a new "earth" rises on the horizon, while the old one sinks below sea level.
