To be interested in the device and an origin of the universe people became during ancient times. Depending on civilization type each people had the representation, however eventually the science developed and to change to religious and mythical representations came, more reasonable, scientific. However and today scientists can't give the exact answer on this matter.

Research objective: to compare ideas of ancient civilizations of an origin and a Universe structure to today's scientific hypotheses.

Hypothesis: representations of the ancient have similar lines with modern scientific hypotheses about a structure and a Universe origin.

Representatives of ancient civilizations imagined the Universe in the form of that that surrounded them, also depending on type of their civilization. For example, representatives of agricultural civilizations with irrigational system of irrigation imagined that the world appeared from the infinite ocean; the civilizations living in the wood district represented that the tree was the center of the world. Ancient used the most primitive tools for space supervision.

Now modern scientists use the latest scientific developments for Universe studying; there are many hypotheses about a structure and a Universe origin, and each of them has these or those confirmations by practical consideration. For example, one of widespread theories – the Theory of a Big Bang rather in details describes the first minutes of the birth of the Universe and submits to physics laws, however and it doesn't give the answer to a question that was before explosion and about the first instants after explosion too it is difficult to tell something since at such big temperature many laws of physics behave extremely. Also before scientists there is a complex problem: description of a structure of the Universe. All the matter is that it is rather difficult to connect a microcosm and a macrocosm where different laws operate.

However that there are facts which knew already ancient and which is interesting, having forgotten over time, again, were already scientifically open in the present. The question arises, from what sources the ancient took such difficult cosmological knowledge? On this question too there are some of very ambiguous answers:

− Ancient received this high knowledge of more developed civilization installed from representatives which visited the earth in the ancient time.

− Representatives of ancient civilizations could assume it intuitively

− Historian Gumilev assumed that Earth over the atmosphere has «a reason sphere» in which to be protected all knowledge, probably ancient were able to be connected to this sphere and to get from it knowledge.
