Los números sagrados y el origen de la civilización (Coleccion Libros Singulares)

by Richard Heath

A lo largo de toda la historia se puede apreciar el uso ubicuo de ciertos números y proporciones desde el arte y la arquitectura hasta en la aparición de las religiones y las sociedades secretas. En Los números sagrados y el origen de la civilización, Richard Heath revela los orígenes prehistóricos y el profundo significado de estos fenómenos numéricos sincrónicos, así como el modo en que quedaron impresos en nuestro entorno planetario durante la creación de la Tierra, la Luna y el sistema solar. El autor nos lleva a explorar la astronomía, la armonía, la geomancia, los centros sagrados y los mitos y señala el uso secreto del conocimiento numérico en la construcción de las catedrales góticas y la gran influencia de los números sagrados en la fundación de la cultura occidental moderna. Heath nos explica cómo el diseño templario de Washington, D. C., representa la Nueva Jerusalén, e identifica el papel desempeñado por las sociedades secretas como depositarias de la sagrada información numérica. A través de un extenso recorrido histórico, este libro ofrece las claves para comprender el verdadero papel y significado de los números.

About the author

An engineer turned application developer, I became interested in megalithic astronomy and its numerical skillset in 1992 - working with Robin Heath throughout the 1990s.

Since then I have written six books revealing that the sacred use of numbers referenced the world of planetary time, known to ancient civilizations but forgotten today.

Sacred numbers are the origin of mankind's grandest religious cosmologies, within which such numbers play a significant role and, I propose only megalithic astronomy could have discovered these numbers prior to their being sacredized.

My findings clearly suggest the Earth's celestial environment was not created automatically by forces: it was also shaped by planetary intelligences, so as to create a living planet in which thinking beings could arise.

Mai țineți minte rețeta fetițelor Powerpuff? "Dulce, acrișor și ceva fermecător! Iată ingredientele alese pentru a crea fetițele perfecte!"
Ei bine, cartea asta este un amestec mișto de geodezie, geomantică, metrologie, astronomie, astrologie, geometrie, matematică, filosofie, psihologie și mitologie. Mi s-au părut incredibile unele legături dintre legende, religie și alte domeniu și cum totul se explică simplu, matematic.

There were some parts I didn't quite understand because my math skills aren't up to par with some things discussed in the book. But everything I did understand was very interesting and thought provoking. It's amazing to me what ancient civilizations knew without the modern technology we have and rely so heavily on today.

Buncombe of the highest order. Anyone with a STEM education will immediately see that Heath falls victim to apophenia bias, the human tendency to find patterns in random information where no actual meaning exists. This is first apparent on Page 17 where he mistakenly ties the Golden Ratio to the orbit of Venus rather than to the actual and trivial source, the Fibonacci Sequence, a counting trick where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, and which humans happen to find aesthetically pleasing, and which apophenia bias leads us to see in all manner of unrelated phenomena, while ignoring the billions of cases where it does NOT appear. It only gets worse from there. If you have a liberal arts education with a penchant for conspiracy theories, have a ball. Otherwise, skip it.
