Action
A research ship with the language expert Anahit Sarian on board finds off the Turkish Mediterranean coast a sunken ship of crusaders that sank in 1369 on the way from Cyprus to Armenia. You have a pentagonal stone body about three meters in diameter. Due to the location of the bodies of the crew, it is assumed that the plague raged on board, which was at that time in Europe. A special intervention force of a secret order arrives aboard the ship at night, destroys the shell of the stone body, takes the contents with it and locks the crew in the hold, along with the plague pathogen. Anahit can escape.

Robert Kästner, who has already dropped out of college twice and has been noticed as a petty criminal, travels to Italy at the request of his uncle, Arche researcher Professor Sörensen, to visit a colleague. He does not meet him in the apartment, but he finds an ancient Armenian script and a medieval depiction of Mary by a painter named Visus. Kästner finds the dead researcher in the refrigerator and has to flee from the police.

Kästner and Sörensen’s assistant Anahit meet in Yerevan, Armenia, where they receive help from taxi driver Hayk. They decode the scriptures found by Kästner, which indicate the Eye of God, which is said to have been transported on Noah’s Ark. By bringing the two parts of the eye together, the creation would be recreated. This is also the goal of the secret order, i.e. to restore the now corrupt world back to its origin.

Meanwhile, a German holiday couple finds the damaged research ship and the dead crew on a boat trip. The young people are also infected with the plague. The Turkish police set up a quarantine, but both die. Anahit, who wants to return to the research ship, is also arrested and investigated, but she is healthy. Together with the present virologist she travels to the research ship and reconstructs the remains of the stone block. A commando of the secret order blows up the ship, with the virologist dying, but Anahit escapes. But she is now also infected with the plague.

Kästner drives to the headquarters of the secret order, where he meets his uncle Professor Sörensen. Both are locked up but can escape through a secret tunnel. Meanwhile, the Eye of God was brought from the sea floor to Armenia.

In Armenia, Kästner, Anahit and Hayk meet again. They find out that a Soviet beverage factory was built over the monastery. They meet simultaneously with the members of the Order at the Monastery e
