The use of trumpets made from the conch shells of large marine mollusks was one of the peculiar traits of Mesoamerican culture. The earliest evidence of this practice can be placed in the Middle Formative (I mil. BC), but this tradition persisted among the native population of Mexico until the 20 th century. Conch shell trumpets were excavated in many Maya sites (Uaxactun, Kaminaljuyu, Mayapan, Tikal, Dzibilchaltun etc.). Since the 1960s it was believed that their main function was that of alarm, and sometimes they were considered as a type of musical instruments. The analysis of previously unpublished hieroglyphic inscription on the conch shell from Asunción Mita (Department of Jutiapa, Guatemala) preserved in the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of Guatemala shows that it was used in the ceremony of appeal to the deities. New interpretation of the hieroglyphic texts on the Early Classic conch shells leads to the conclusion that, in the Classic Maya culture, their main function was ritual. They served as one of the main instruments of the ritual communication with the deities and ancestors, whose names and images were inscribed on the conch shells.

In the times of the Covid-19 pandemic, a healthy perception of time does our spiritual and mental health good. Compared to the postmodern temporality, especially Nietzsche's philosophy, this paper ushers in a soundly healthy perspective of time portrayed in the book of Ecclesiastes. Time is one of the major themes in the book of Ecclesiastes. I intend to explore several aspects of time in this book, that is, wisdom, vanity, repetition, process, and determinism. The preacher Qoheletinitially looks for the wisdom of life, and eventually, via a deep reflection of time, he concludes that wisdom in time is to turn to God for redemption in this troubled world.

The Kipchakovo archaeological site complex encompasses several monuments located in the northwestern part of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is believed to be one of the earliest archaeological centers of the Pyany Bor cul-ture. Therefore, the artifacts discovered on its territory serve as valuable illustrative material reflecting the process of emergence and formation of the Pyany Bor cultural traditions. One of those is the tradition of using bear images in the folk costume. Thearticle analyzes two recent finds of metal garment elements with bear images from the Kip-chakovo settlement and the Kipchakovo burial ground. The first artifact –a bronze onlay with protomes of two bears –wasfound by chance on the territory of the Kipchakovo settlement. The second one –a bronze buckle with the full-figured image of a bear –comes from one closed assemblage of the Kipchakovo burial ground. The onlay has close parallels with some antiquities of the Kara-Abyz culture dated to the 3dand 2ndcenturies BC, while the buckle looks similar to a number of finds, which make up the Pyany Bor and Kara-Abyz archaeological assemblages at the turn of the eras. The authors statethat bear images depicted on both finds represent the same line of animal art development in the aforementioned cultures and belong to a large group of bear images that could be further divided into two sub-groups (early and late) based on some typological variations. An intermediate stage between these subgroups is rep-resented by a belt hook with the image of three bears from the Kipchakovo burial ground. The early type of bear im-ages was formed in the Kara-Abyz culture during the 3dand 2ndcenturies BC under the influence of the Scythian-Sarmatian animal style. The late type started to appear at the turn of the eras and became widespread in the Pyany Bor culture. However, it was genetically linked with the early one. The authors also emphasize the exceptional role of the Shipovo and Kipchakovo archaeological site complexes in the described processes of the bear images trans-formations
