Abstract
Description
One of main ideas of this paper is a hypothesis that the simulation play an essentially more significant
role in a human history and culture than it is usually assumed. On some examples it can be demonstrated
that modern computational simulation has ancient prototypes and some artefacts can be interpreted as
special simulation tools and environments. As typical examples of ancient simulation tools the
“life/world tree” on mammoth bone and megalithical
“models of the world” are presented. These artefacts
were interpreted earlier as calendars, observatories or
“ancient computers”. The proposed hypothesis
considers the following interpretation as most exact
and appropriate: “special computational simulation
tools and environments with real-time functions
(calendar) and real-world interface (observatory)”.
