THE ARTIFACTS OF ANCIENT KABARDA THROUGH THE PRISM OF TIME
This article is dedicated to the study of the ancient artifact found in the Baksan gorge of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic and the ancient inscription on the artifact. The artifact is in the form of a cylinder, which depicts ancient Indian Brahmi scripts interspersed with Egyptian, Hattian, Elamite, Harappan, Phoenician, Etruscan, Gothic and local Tamgic signs. To decipher the ancient scripts on the artifact, the above-listed scripts were used with the involvement of the Kabardino-Circassian language (the Abkhazian-Adyghe language group) in reading and understanding the historical events of the ancient inhabitants of the Baksan gorge. The study of the ancient language on the artifact is of a comparative nature, based on the analysis of language units. The analysis of texts also involves the techniques of system analysis, modeling, descriptive and quantitative methods to identify similarities between the ancient Indian script and the Kabardino-Circassian language. The study reveals the typological and semantic similarity of the ancient Egyptian language with the languages of the Abkhazian-Adyghe language group, in particular with the Kabardino-Circassian language. The involvement of the Kabardino-Circassian language will give an objective picture of the events that took place in the distant past of the XVIII-XVII century BC.
