Summary/Abstract: The archaic Scripture contains the message of primordial “places” that become “events”, sometimes extremely mysterious ones (Moriah, Golgotha). A via negativa of sorts marks the myth of Paradise: the creative act fills “lack” in the still empty place. This “change” creates a “site of a diabolical drama” of fall and salvation. The author postulates creating the foundations of the “place-event” phenomenon.
