Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take
for granted; nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
Sir Francis Bacon
The Sacred Cut represents the main factor in ancient geometry itself. There is
only one Sacred Cut. In fact, it was the main-door key to ancient geometry.
Tons Brunés
When one holds the key it is not difficult to open the different doors and
discover what lies behind, but if one has no key, or if one does not understand
how it should be used, the doors remain securely sealed, and the curious are
obliged to guess what they possibly screen from sight.
Tons Brunés
Pythagoras was the first person history records as having broken with the
ancient tradition. Pythagoras educated ordinary men.
Tons Brunés
The ancient Egyptians, from the very beginning of their recorded history, made a
mystery of their factual knowledge of astronomy and other sciences and arts.
That is, this knowledge was deliberately restricted to an Inner Circle, and kept
from the mass of the people as an iron-clad state policy . . . .
Thothnu Tastmona
Even "Euclidean construction" is only sketchily defined by Webster as
"construction by the compasses." It will be well to consider this matter
carefully, for we are entering a new field where numbers are identified,
not with things but with thoughts, and with relationships both of
area and location.
