Product Description
Review
"You do not have to be deeply into the field of mathematics, or the field of esoteric numbers, to enjoy this book, and to gain some wisdom from it. The discussions on secret societies, and those on sacred numbers and architecture are absolutely breathtaking! Well written, and easily understood, this book has a place with those who wish to understand their own lives better."
Product Description
The ubiquitous use of certain sacred numbers and ratios can be found throughout history, influencing everything from art and architecture to the development of religion and secret societies. In "Sacred Number and the Origins Of Civilization", Richard Heath reveals the origins, widespread influences and deeper meaning of these synchronous numerical occurrences and how they were left within our planetary environment during the creation of the earth, the moon and our solar system. Exploring astronomy, harmony, geomancy, sacred centres and myth, Heath reveals the secret use of sacred number knowledge in the building of Gothic cathedrals and the important influence of sacred numbers in the founding of modern Western culture. He explains the role secret societies play as a repository for this numerical information and how those who attempt to decode its meaning without understanding the planetary origins of this knowledge are left with contradictory, cryptic and, often, deceptive information. By examining prehistoric and monumental cultures through the Dark Ages and later recorded history, "Sacred Number and the Origins Of Civilization" provides a key to understanding the true role and meaning of number.

This book is why I read. Not just to learn something new, but something useful. If you're the kind of person who likes to take nothing for granted, then this book is for you. And 99.9% of people take numbers and their origins without a second thought. But surely nothing is without a purpose and reason in this universe. Nothing eternal is simply a coincidence. The author contends that numbers are essential to the underlying principles by which the natural world and the heavens exist. He shows that certain groups in history had knowledge of the power and complexity of numbers and incorporated this into their architecture and symbolism. However, as the roots of the numbers themselves are still unclear, much more research is needed into this field.
