Apparently, many of us saw oriental patterns. In most cases, Europeans do not attach any importance to them, even if a letter ornament is found on the image or embroidery. Many of us do not even guess what secret meaning can be enclosed in such drawings and inscriptions.
Letter Ornament: History
Speaking about the ornament in the form of letters, it is worth touching on the theme of its appearance. Basically? the manifestation of lettering and font art initially focused on eastern countries. In Slavic culture, this was extremely rare until some time of the conquest of Russia.
If you look, the very art of using letters and symbols in the form of a pattern has been known for a long time. And it belongs more to Muslim countries, where, in fact, it originated.
It is worth noting that in this case the font has such a structure that the letters can easily be intertwined among themselves, due to the presence of certain curls. It looks very interesting. Moreover, many ornaments of this type have almost a sacred meaning and carry ancient wisdom. Note that even the tablets with the divine covenants given to Moses were written in that perspective.
The secret meaning of patterns
As for the meaning of such drawings, it is worth mentioning separately that the letter ornament in the same Ancient India played a rather significant role. Very often you can find many works in the same Sanskrit, written not in the form of a plain text, but in the form of intertwining characters like the many-armed god Shiva.
By the way, each branch of such a text has its own meaning. At the same time, the pattern that is used to write one or another phrase is also important.
How to decipher a letter ornament
For more than a century, the most prominent minds of the scientific community have been deciphering letter ornaments. Unfortunately, some texts cannot be deciphered at all, say, those related to the mysterious country of Shambhala, in which, according to legend, in a certain state of meditation that has been going on for thousands of years, there are all known prophets and messiahs such as Christ, Buddha, etc. .d. Although this is considered fiction from the point of view of modern practical science, there is certainly some truth.
If we talk about oriental writing, it is worth noting that most of the texts and patterns are composed from right to left. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to approach the drawing from the point of view of the European on the contrary. Moreover, quite serious ciphers are often used in the drawings and ornaments themselves, which are not yet accessible to modern science for understanding even with the use of the most advanced computer systems and decoders. The only question is: the ancients are considered wise, but they completely forget about their technologies.
And no one thought that even the simplest ornament in the form of cuneiform writing of a long-gone Sumerian civilization can tell us much more than what we can know? Unfortunately, the texts of the ancient Sumerians are not easy to decipher. It is hoped that someday we will still learn the secret meaning of these signs and ornaments. Who knows, maybe it will be something more than we are even trying to guess ...
