Moon – Inspirer of Counting and Accounting Processes

Abstract

Observations on celestial bodies played an important role in the process of birth and development of civilizations. The need to observe and fix the trajectories of the movement of lights in a short or relatively long period of time was primarily determined by the human sedentary lifestyle: one is engaged in agriculture, builds settlements, cities, creates states, erects cult objects, pyramids. It is logical that in such a situation the process of development of human intelligence is significantly accelerated and, above all, progress is achieved in the processes of accounting and reporting. This progress was largely determined by the need to observe the trajectories of the Moon and the Sun (and also planets at the next stage) and determine the corresponding data. The article presents some results obtained on the basis of a multidisciplinary approach – new etymological versions for some terms of this specific nature.
