HISTORY

The first pickaxe hit the rock on a warm Saturday night, in August 1978. Falco, the Founder of Damanhur, and ten other Damanhurians  were sitting around a fire lit behind the house they had bought on Vidracco’s hill, when a star fell across the sky. It was unusually big, very bright and it moved slowly, leaving behind a visible trail of golden dust.

This was interpreted as the sign that it was a good moment to begin digging a tunnel into the mountain, leading to the heart of the Earth, to build a work of art dedicated to the sacred aspect within every human being.

As soon as the meeting ended, two Damanhurians began chipping away at the rock of the mountain with only a hammer and a pick. They continued digging with great fervor all night. When in the morning others came to carry on with the work, over a meter had already been excavated inside the mountain. They continued non-stop in shifts of four hours each, for fifteen days, before the pace became less intense, although work never stopped. Pick, shovel, buckets, pick, shovel, buckets, chisel, hammer, buckets…

The Damanhurians felt enthusiastic of sharing a common activity which was also carried out in total secrecy. A permission to excavate would have never been granted by the local government, as Piedmont had no laws regulating underground buildings of that magnitude, and the project would have seemed too ambitious to carry out. The secret was kept for sixteen years.
