THE FIRST ALPHABET IN THE WORLD IS INVENTED BY RUSSIANS!




Such a sensational discovery was made by the Volgograd scientist Nikolai Taranov.
The author of the book “Runes of the Slavs and the Glagolitic”, Volgograd scientist Nikolai Taranov is sure that the first alphabet on Earth appeared with us.
Director of the Volgograd Institute of Art Education Taranov is the owner of many titles: Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, calligrapher, professor, candidate of art criticism, member of the Union of Artists of Russia. And besides, he is still studying symbols. In doing so, just like in Dan Brown's acclaimed novel, our "Professor Robert Langdon" is on the trail of a medieval church conspiracy and a surprising discovery.

Was the Slavic alphabet invented long before Cyril?

Who invented the Slavic alphabet? Ask any schoolboy - he will answer: Cyril and Methodius. For this merit, the Orthodox Church calls the monk brothers Equal-to-the-Apostles. But what kind of alphabet did Cyril come up with - Cyrillic or Glagolitic? (Methodius, it is known and proven, supported his brother in everything, but the “brain of the operation” and an educated person who knew many languages ​​was precisely the monk Kirill). This is still debated in the scientific world. Some Slavic researchers say: “Cyrillic! It is named after the creator. Others object: “Glagolitsa! The first letter of this alphabet looks like a cross. Cyril is a monk. It's a sign". As an axiom, it is stated that before the work of Cyril, there was no written language in Russia. Volgograd scientist Nikolai Taranov categorically disagrees with this.
- The statement that there was no writing in Russia before Cyril and Methodius is based on one single document - "The Tale of the Letters" of the Chernorite Khrabr, found in Bulgaria, - says Nikolai Taranov. – There are 73 lists from this scroll. At the same time, different copies, due to translation errors or scribal errors, have completely different versions of the key phrase for us. In one version we find: "the Slavs before Cyril did not have books", in the other - "letters", but the author points out: "they wrote with features and cuts." It is interesting that Arab travelers who visited Russia back in the 8th century, that is, even before Rurik and even more so before Cyril, described the funeral of one Russian prince: “After the funeral, his soldiers wrote something on a white tree (birch) in honor of the prince, and then, having mounted their horses, they departed. And in the "Life of Cyril", known to the Russian Orthodox Church, we read: "In the city of Korsun, Kirill met a Rusyn (Russian), who had with him books written in Russian letters." Then Cyril, whose mother was a Slav, took out some of his letters from the bag and with their help began to read those same Rusyn books. And these were not thin books. These were, as stated in the same "Life of Cyril", translated into Russian "Psalter" and "Gospel". There is a lot of evidence that Russia had its own alphabet long before Cyril. And Lomonosov spoke about the same thing. He cited as evidence the testimony of Pope VIII, a contemporary of Cyril, which states that Cyril did not invent these letters, but rediscovered them.
Then a legitimate question: why did Cyril create the Russian alphabet, if it already existed? Then, that the monk Cyril had a task from the Moravian prince - to create for the Slavs an alphabet suitable for translating church books. Which he did. The letters in which church books are now written, and in a modified form - all of our today's print media, textbooks and fiction, are the work of Cyril, that is, "Cyrillic".

WHY DESTROYED THE GLAGOLITCH?

“There are 22 points that prove that the Glagolitic was older than the Cyrillic,” says Nikolai Taranov.
"Palimpsest" - there is such a concept among archaeologists and philologists. This is the name of an inscription made on top of another inscription scraped out with a knife or destroyed in another way. In the Middle Ages, parchment made from the skin of a young lamb was quite expensive, and in order to save money, scribes often destroyed "unnecessary" records and documents, and wrote something new on the scraped sheet. Everywhere in Russian palimpsests, the Glagolitic alphabet is erased, and on top of it there are inscriptions in Cyrillic. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- There are only five monuments written in the Glagolitic alphabet left in the world. The rest were destroyed. Moreover, in my opinion, the records in Glagolitic were destroyed on purpose, - says Professor Nikolai Taranov. - Because the Glagolitic alphabet was not suitable for writing church books. The numerical value of the letters (and then the belief in numerology was very strong) in it was different than what was required in Christianity. Out of respect for the Glagolitic alphabet, Cyril left in his alphabet the same names of the letters as they were. And they are very, very difficult for an alphabet "born" in the 9th century, as claimed. Even then, all languages ​​were striving for simplification; letters in all alphabets of that time denote only sounds. And only in the Slavic alphabet such names of letters: “Good”, “People”, “Think”, “Earth” and so on. And all because the Glagolitic is very ancient. It has many signs of pictographic writing.

For reference: pictographic writing is a type of writing, the signs of which (pictograms) designate the object depicted by them. The latest finds of archaeologists speak in favor of this version. So, tablets with Slavic writing (the so-called Tertian writing) were found, the age of which dates back to 5000 BC.

This discovery about the antiquity of our primordial alphabet is of great importance for the entire Slavic world, - Volgograd scientist Nikolai Taranov is sure. – So the professor of the Kyiv Academy of Arts, calligrapher Vasily Chabanyk, after listening to my theory, became very interested and suggested that I give lectures in Kyiv. After all, whatever you say, but the alphabet of our peoples is the same and the ancient history is the same. But, unfortunately, due to the current political events in Kyiv, I cannot go there.
Professor Semchenko from the Minsk Academy of Arts is also very interested and supports this version. I spoke about this at two International Exhibitions of Calligraphy. And even foreign scientists, the French and the British, who, it would seem, are far from the history of the Slavic world and its writing, after listening to a lecture through an interpreter, came up to me and shook my hand. They said, "That's amazing, we've never heard anything like it."

Probably, the world will still talk about the discovery of Professor Taranov. This version, about the antiquity of the Slavic alphabet, was also seriously interested in the chairman of the Russian Union of Calligraphers Petr Chibitko. And the other day, an open lecture by Nikolai Taranov about the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets, about the sacred meaning of the symbols of the oldest alphabet on Earth, appeared on Youtube.

NUMEROLOGY OF THE GLAGOLIC

Each sign in the Glagolitic has a sacred meaning and denotes a certain number.

The sign "Az" is a person, number 1.
The sign “I know” is the number 2, the sign looks like eyes and a nose: “I see, so I know.”
The sign "Live" is the number 7, the life and reality of this world.
The sign "Zelo" is the number 8, the reality of a miracle and something supernatural: "too", "very" or "very".
The sign "Good" is the number 5, the only number that gives birth to its own kind or a decade: "Good begets good."
The sign "People" - the number 50, according to numerology - the world from where human souls come to us.
The sign "Our" - the number 70, symbolizes the connection between the heavenly and the earthly, i.e. our world, given to us in sensations.
The sign "Omega" - the number 700, a certain divine world, "Seventh Heaven". At the same time, the Omega sign, the Volgograd scientist believes, resembles a star with prominences in an older style, and in a later, stylized one, a horseshoe. Since among the ancient Slavs the star, now known as Omega, was called the Horseshoe and was considered a guiding one.
The sign "Earth" - according to Taranov, means a picture: the Earth and the Moon are in the same orbit.

"Only a genius could create the Glagolitic"!
All modern alphabets in Europe are descended from the alphabet of the Phoenicians. In it, the letter A, we were told, stands for the head of a bull, which then turned upside down.
- And the ancient Greek historian Photius of Sicily wrote: “These letters are called Phoenician, although it is more correct to call them Pelasgic, since they were used by the Pelasgians,” says Nikolai Taranov. “Do you know who the Pelasgians are?” These are the ancestors of the Slavs, the Proto-Slavic tribes. The Phoenicians stood out among the surrounding swarthy black-haired tribes of farmers, Egyptians and Sumerians, with fair skin and red hair. Yes, even with their passion for travel: they were excellent sailors.
In the XII century BC, the Pelasgians participated in the Great Migration of Peoples, and some of their groups of desperate conquerors of new lands wandered to the ends of the world. This allows the Volgograd professor to put forward a version: the Phoenicians were familiar with the Slavs and borrowed the alphabet from them. Why else, next to Egyptian hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform, did an alphabetic alphabet suddenly form?

They say that the Glagolitic was too decorative, complex, so it was gradually replaced by a more rational Cyrillic. I wrote down the epithets that were “awarded” to the Glagolitic: “ugly”, “uncomfortable”, etc. But the Glagolitic was not so bad at all, Professor Taranov is sure. - I studied the earliest versions: the first letter of the Glagolitic alphabet does not mean a cross at all, but a person. That is why it is called "Az" - I. Each person for himself is a starting point. I would say: this is the most human alphabet on Earth. The whole meaning of the letters in the Glagolitic is through the prism of human perception.
I drew the first letter of this alphabet on transparent film. Look, if you superimpose it on other letters of the Glagolitic, you get a pictogram! Not every designer will come up with such a way that each grapheme falls into the grid. I am telling you this as an expert. I am amazed at the artistic integrity of this alphabet. The unknown author of the Glagolitic was a genius! There is no such clear connection between the symbol and its digital and sacred meaning in any other alphabet of the world!
