Reflection of Space-Time in Ancient Cultural Heritage of UralsDOI: 10.4236/oalib.1102888, PP. 1-7 Subject Areas: Archaeology Keywords: Ancient Cultural Heritage, Shigir Idols, Okunev Stelae, Sundial and Calendars, Orientation in Space-Time Abstract
Based on the example of Shigir idols, the article reviews the possibility
of using the ancient sacred objects as tools for orientation in space-time
(according to dating of C-14, the age of the Grand Shigir Idol is 11,000
years). Author’s reconstructions of solar navigation technology are justified
by: paleo-astronomic and metrological calculations; reflection of curve of
shadow of the gnomon during the year in the proportions of the body and face of
anthropomorphic figures; comparison of geometric basics of “faces” of Shigir
idols, masks of Okunev stelae in Khakassia and vertical sundial on the
milestones of the eighteenth century in St. Petersburg. The results show a rational
assignment of objects of ancient culture.
