This exhaustive and authoritative study reveals the depths of the mathematical  medical  and metaphysical sophistication of Ancient Egypt. Schwaller de Lubiczs stone-by-stone survey of the temple of Amun-Mut-Khonsu at Luxor allows us to step into the mentality of Ancient Egypt and experience the Egyptian way of thinking within the context of their own worldview.  His study finds the temple to be an eloquent expression and summary--an architectural encyclopedia--of what the Egyptians knew of humanity and the universe. Through a reading of the temples measures and proportions  its axes and orientations  and the symbolism and placement of its bas-reliefs  along with the accompanying studies of related medical and mathematical papyri  Schwaller de Lubicz demonstrates how advanced the civilization of Ancient Egypt was  a civilization that possessed exalted knowledge and achievements both materially and spiritually. In so doing  Schwaller de Lubicz effectively demonstrates that Ancient Egypt  not Greece  is at the base of Western science  civilization  and culture.  To understand the temple of Luxor  twelve years of field work were undertaken with the utmost exactitude by Schwaller de Lubicz in collaboration with French archaeologist Clement Robichon and the respected Egyptologist Alexandre Varille. From this work were produced over 1000 pages of text and proofs of the sacred geometry of the temple and 400 illustrations and photographs that make up The Temple of Man.  The Temple of Man is a monument to inspired insight  conscientious scholarship  and exacting archaeological groundwork that represents a major contribution to humanitys perennial search for self-knowledge and the prehistoric origins of its culture and science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666167816245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0892815701","price":385.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780892815708.jpg?v=1782421286","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-temple-of-man-9780892815708","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
