Ecological knot, Charred Griffin Wall Painting Fragments
Former Californian Civilization Ruins, Getty Villa Wreck Zone
c. 0001240 BCE-0002035 CE (mined in 0003025 CE)
Charred fragment of a Californian Mycenaean period wall painting (0001240 BCE-0002035 CE). The ‘Ecological Knot’ marks a lost condition of balance between human and environmental systems. The fragment is not only preserved as a ‘Memory Mineral’, but has been activated as a structure through which new meanings and authorities can be assembled. It contains the residual form of a Griffin carried across deep time that was once a mythological guardian.
Memory Mineral
Mined from Getty Villa Zone, West Coast America Wreck Beds (0003025 CE)
Californian Mycenaean period (0001240 BCE-0002035 CE)
In the New Revitalisation following centuries of climate extremity, human settlements survive in semi-subterranean ecological domes governed by belief-driven regimes of moral clarity. Fragments of earlier civilisations mined as ‘Memory Minerals’, provide the foundation for the ideological discipline needed to survive. Doctrinal control is enforced through ritualised violence asserted through the selective reconstruction of the past. The Griffin and Lion depicted in this fragment are reinterpreted as an ‘Ecological knot’, a lost emblem of harmony between humanity and nature, and an aspiration waiting for better times.

Californian Mycenaean period (0001240 BCE-0002035 CE)
Attempting a New Renaissance following the depravations of climate extremity, the presidency of the Christian Church of America was finally brought down by a coalition of angry businessmen, protestors against the Al-Can War, denunciation of the Christian American Witch burnings, brutal heresy trials, and the growing malignancy of the Pox. It is said that President Jarret betrayed his friends and drank himself to death in 0002035 CE. God willed it and no redemption was possible.

A restoration of metadata recovered from this ancient fragmentary archived image appears to link it to the Mycenaean Tujunga (master painter) of the Griffin and Lion Wall Painting in their workshop. The influencer who broadcast the Mycenaean history of California, restored these wall paintings as the key evidence to link the texts of ancient Mycenaean civilisation with its location in West Coast America.
