Structures of the cosmos and sacred sets on the artefact of the paleolithic
Journal Title: Interdisciplinary Cultural and Humanities Review - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The problem of the semantics of groups (sets) of signs (dots, dashes, etc.) on Paleolithic artifacts, which has not yet been solved by scientists, was studied. The disclosure of the semantics of the sets of signs helps to get deeper into the spiritual world of the Paleolithic people, to understand the specifics of the logic of their thinking. The purpose of the study was set to determine the quantities hidden behind the sets of signs, and to determine the logic of their formation. G. Kantor’s idea was used as a methodological key, according to which, the operation with sets in the history of mankind preceded the operation with numbers. It was shown that many signs were associated with primitive mythology. In the reconstruction of this mythology, a structural method was applied. A number of sets were identified, their semantics was determined, and the concept of sacred sets was formed. Sacred are such sets that are often repeated and consistent with the logic of constructing a myth. It was determined that behind these sets the cycles of some luminaries (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus) and the physiological cycles of a woman (menstrual and pregnancy) have been hidden, reduced by certain numbers (5, 7, 8, 28). Sets that played a certain role in the mythology of primitive people also belonged to the category of sacred ones. The idea was expressed and traced on the artifacts, according to which the sacred sets were placed on the Body of the Goddess in a certain order. The structures and sacred sets on the images of goddesses on an artifact from Moravia (Czech Republic, 20 thousand years B.C.) and on other artifacts were analyzed. Analysis showed that they contained a number of sets that have been classified as sacred
