There exists a primary connection between humans and nature, and this connection must be one of cooperation. In such an interaction, nature is inherently peaceful and does no harm to humans. Rather, the problem arises when humans interfere in the workings of nature, causing disruption. Nature is inherently defined by its peace and perfect harmony. When a man-made construction such as a house, a castle, or a temple is introduced into the natural landscape, it breaks this inherently existing balance. Consider an uninterrupted view of a mountain chain, and then consider a house erected in its center. While a person may construct a house to achieve peace, it is done from the perspective of a human being's benefit, while breaking the balance of nature. This is exactly the concept that defines the Anthropocene. In this paper, the idea that human manipulation of nature, such as the Himalayas, reduces its value rather than improves it will be discussed. This theory is illustrated through paintings created by Nicholas Roerich. While the term Anthropocene was coined in the year 2000, this artist foresaw its essence years before.
