Reveals the ancient mathematical principles refuting the notion of the solar system as an accidental creation*; Reveals how ancient civilizations encoded their secret knowledge of the sky in mythology, music, and sacred measures*; Shows how modern culture can benefit from the ancient astronomical and astrological worldview based on number*; Shows the role of ratio and harmonic proportions in the creation of the material worldHumanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience.
