«The coin-shaped amulet» from «The bat cave»: structures of the puzzle bronze ware and the experience of laying bare its symbolics (to the problem of Buddhism and systems of time notation in cultures of the Middle Ages of the Far East)

In the paper, the structures, numerical symbolic «records» and semantics of the puzzle object discovered in the Bat Cave (the south of the MaritimeTerritory of the Far East) are analysed. The manufactured article was found at the time of reconnaissance work of the Far Eastern Archaeological Expedition of the 1970th year (headed by A. P. Okladnikov). «The coin-shaped bronze object» is represented in this publication as a sacral element of the Buddhist religious system - a miniature variant of Mandala, the great symbol of integral picture of the Universe, with numerical calendar-astronomical «records» included in it. Such «records» witness the high level of natural-scientific knowledge in the Gold Empire of the Chourzhen, the rival of the Under the Skies Power in the East of Asia of the Middle Ages.
