WOMAN’S PREGNANCY CYCLE IN SETS OF SIGNS ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS OF PODILLIA TOWELS

Abstract

By groups of simple signs (sticks, chevrons, dots) we mean sets of signs that are found on archaeological artifacts and folk ornaments. According to the author they transmit the duration of the cycles of the Sun, Moon and some planets, as well as the duration of a woman’s pregnancy. The logic of the formation of these sets is investigated. The author interprets them based on the thought of G. Cantor, according to which, in the history of mankind, sets preceded numbers. The article analyze the set consisting of 280 sings, which transmitted the pregnancy cycle in days, as well as sets 40 and 10, which transmitted the pregnancy duration in abbreviated form of 7 and 28. The presence of these sets is demonstrated on archaeological artifacts and ornaments of Podillia towels.
