Sacred Geometry

Indeed.

Wow Anon, your significant thread has disappeared; I sense some behind the scenes work. Could it be the Lord of the Rings (the name starts with letter "a")?

By the way, in those silly images you posted of what appeared to be a building of underwater civilization or something, underneath those nice exterior designs which are due to shaping extra amounts of cement into nice aesthetic forms, lie the simple geometric figures, so even your pictures obey the basics of geometry.

Huh? You lost me. When did I post pictures of underwater civilization? Are you taking a hallucinogen again?

Go to the beginning of this thread and you will see the pictures you posted ( which look like they were from Little Mermaid ).

Wow, now that is truly sad. Someone who is quite aware of art cannot recognize the legendary architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona, calling it underwater civilization? That is really disappointing.

[Anonymouse]

I guess so.

Great piece of information Anon, something I never thought about.

Geometry was also a fundamental tool for making things by hand. Without it, you simply can't. You may not be aware of it, but when you shape any object, you are following the laws of geometry, which is based on an even older skill--that of measures, or counting. In the ancient world, this knowledge was considered magic, and as magic, it was kept in the realm of religion, in the realm of priests, a carefully guarded secret which was passed on only the elect. As the image of the structure of the universe, geometry was a symbolic system for understanding how it worked, including astronomy.

Ancestral Armenians had a refined knowledge of astronomy and were able to predict astral events to an accurate degree. The oldest known observatories in the world are in Armenia. One is called Karahundj. "Kara" means "of stone" or "stones", and "henge" has no specific meaning in English, it either is a forerunner of "hung" or is borrowed from an old Indo-European root. Like Stonehenge, 'Karahundj' is easily defined in the first part, but the second is up to theory. 'Hundj' may be an early version of 'pundj', meaning 'bouquet', or it might be related to 'hunchuin', which means 'voice'.

Possibly erected as early as 4200 BCE, Karahundj and the ca. 2800 BCE observatory at Metsamor allowed Ancestral Armenians to develop geometry to such a level they could measure distances, latitudes and longitudes, envision the world as round, and were predicting solar and lunar eclipses about 1000 years before the Egyptians began doing the same. The fortress cities and temples that have been excavated in Armenia (some going back as far as 7000 years) show a remarkable awareness of using sacred numbers and geometry in constructing sacred buildings, using a complex system of squares, rectangles, circles, polygons with intersecting patterns.

I was under the impressions that Egyptians and Mesopotamians were the originators of math and geometry? How accurate is the claim that it was Armenians that began using methods of geometry first?

The first Armenian churches were built on the orders of St. Gregory the Illuminator, and were often erected on top of pagan temples. Just as Garni was built on top of an Urartian temple, and shows strikingly similar dimensions to the temple of Sushi at Erebuni, the first churches imitated the pagan temples, altering certain details to differentiate them from their predecessors. But a closer look at them shows that even with the most unique developments in Armenian sacred architecture (drum, conical roof dome, the cruciform shape of the church), a rigorous and consistent compliance to sacred geometry prevailed.

This is fascinating. Temple of Sushi? Yummmy! I would have like to see the Urartian temples, instead of destroying they could have preserved them to maintain the ancient history, the temple could have been a magnet of many scholars around the world.

I got it in a 'vision', much like Constantine got his 'vision' of the cross that aided him in his victory.
