This review is from: Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization: The Unfolding of History through the Mystery of Number (Paperback)
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.

Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization:
The Unfolding of History through the Mystery of Number nBy Richard Heath The future of Western society may depend, to some degree, on decoding our past, even if it's at the cost of unraveling some of our traditional beliefs. If you want to restore your sense of the sacred by exploring the mathematical connection with the macro and micro world we inhabit, then this book will fulfill and surpass your expectations. This is a very in-depth look at the world of sacred geometry that holds your attention, making it an easy read.Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide magazine

This review is from: Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization: The Unfolding of History through the Mystery of Number (Paperback)
...about this book is that the author claims that he at last has uncovered no less than the scientific and cultural worldview of the Lost City of Atlantis.
Now maybe I missed the headlines: do we know anything about Atlantis except for a few sketchy references in ancient authors, and a few good guesses about where it might have been located? Now maybe the system outlined in this book falls in the category of "good guess" about the "Atlantean" system, but that's not the tone. This guy seems pretty convinced that he KNOWS what went down in Atlantis. Proceed at your own risk.

every once in a while, along comes a book that appeals to open minds, and deepens or alters fundamental concepts. much more often come pretenders; this is one of those. i read say a hundred books a year; this for me is among the worst of the past SEVERAL years.
