отрывок из книги о сакральной геометрии, небольшой экскурс в историю геометрии:

Geometry was only mentioned for the first time by the Greek mathematician Euclid (3rd century BC) in his influential work 'Elements'. In the 21st century it is still an important fundamental work in geometry and education. So the Greek were the first to classify geometry - using a compass and a ruler. They believed geometry contained the absolute truth, which could be proven over and over again, and was linked to logic and based on underlying truths. They believed that the Creator of the Universe was felt as an absolute truth, not as a dogma, laid-on wisdom or religious conviction. Form and figure were thought to be essential for the universe and in their eyes geometry and figures were sacred for revealing the hidden order behind creation, valid until the present day. They have become instruments wich are used to create physic reality.
