appearance of writing - an important milestone in the development of mankind, along with spoken language.The cuneiform characters and, of course, nodular letter gave people a wonderful opportunity to share important information, store it, passed from generation to generation, accumulating a great experience.Knot letter - the main theme of this narrative.That it is one of the oldest forms of writing, the echoes of which can still be found in our everyday speech.
knot letter was known to almost every continent.It was used in ancient China, in areas inhabited first Slavic tribes, and the Americas.The basis of this type of information transmission - knotting of different shapes, each of which corresponds to a specific word or action.It was a whole system of vivid images that can describe a very complex picture of life or historical events.Consider knotted letter as written, it is probably not entirely true.It was more a way to capture information and pass it on to others.The principles of this letter were quite simple: on the ropes in different colors and lengths to tie knots definite shape.Some were used for counting people, food or soldiers, the other is the status or importance of the message.The cords of different colors can serve as a symbol of a particular object (for example, potatoes or horse), or were intended to draw attention to the special status of the information.Until now, we use an expression such as "permeates".That red spoke about the special importance of the data.
knot letter Maya, for example, as many researchers of ancient cultures, sacred meaning and was used only by priests.There is a hypothesis that it was it became the progenitor of the icons that we can see in the famous calendar of a great civilization.However, the true meaning of its symbols is unsolved, as there is no accurate data that knotted letter was fairly widespread in the area.A similar story can be traced to this writing and other peoples of North America.Knot letter Aztecs probably did not enjoy popularity among the people, or is not used.
In ancient China, it was used in the cult of the emperor and was considered an art of religious priests.Today ornate nodes - congratulations - you can see in the festive decorations from China.A certain amount of information, there is only the "pile".That's called nodular letter Incas, which has received a sufficient spread of the representatives of this civilization.The Slavs knotted letter, as well as a pile, allowed to conduct complex calculations, and over time they have become a set of characters that wore special "oberezhny" sense.That is why the Slavic soldiers tied knots - nauzy - on his arms, firmly believes that they will be able to bring them victory in battle.Even modern man has kept the tradition of tying the knot "in memory".We continue to look for "the conversation" and delve into the "intricacies of the plot."
