Secrets Of Sacred Geometry

Many of history’s greatest minds shared a universal secret that facilitated their genius expressions in art, engineering and architecture. An underlying esoteric tradition that spans back through pre-history, which they applied to their modern inventions and theories, that centers on number, harmony and cosmology that exists at the core of mystery school religions.

Geometric ratios were employed in the designs of ancient Egyptian, Indian, Greek and Roman architecture. This includes churches, temples and mosques, believed to have a sacred, divine significance. Here’s more from Robert Sepehr, author and anthropologist.

The Mythical Origins of Europe

For much of Western history, from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance, noble families across Europe insisted that they were not related to the populations that they ruled, but instead traced their ancestry back to illustrious heroic figures of myth and legend.

The Etruscan civilization flourished in central Italy starting around 900 BC, with assimilation into the Roman society, beginning in the late 4th century BC. Although the Etruscans developed a system of writing borrowed from Greek script, the Etruscan language remains only partly understood, making modern interpretation of their society and culture heavily dependent on much later and generally disapproving Roman and Greek sources.

The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna (meaning Red) and held the serpent as sacred, and some scholars associate them with the Sea Peoples named by the Egyptians, or the Tribe of Dan.  More from Robert Sepehr, author and anthropologist.

What We Can Learn from Cicero

He informed the Founding Fathers and renounced the excesses of Democracy, and died for it. He mastered the art of oratory. He preserved the knowledge of ancient Greece. His life and works extolled the virtues of the republic, and decried the evils of the voting public.

…and for that, he is persona non grata in History classes.
Muted by historians, but made deafeningly relevant by the protractions of time.
In his own words: “Time destroys the figments of the imagination, while confirming the judgments of nature.”

Teenagers in Ancient Rome

Ray Laurence, a classics professor from the University of Kent, shares what life was like for teenagers in ancient Rome, his words accompanied by a short animation from Cognitive Media. Kids then didn’t have video games or Facebook to distract them from their appointed tasks. They learned to fight, they married young, and occasionally they took communal baths or partied like it was 1999 BC.  This video is part of the TED-Ed series. H/T Open Culture
