Mystifying Square, Divine Proportions - Nature's Black Box

This volume traces W. D. Gann's "Time Factor" and "Law of Vibration" back to the Chaldeans of 3000 BCE Sumer whose principal aspiration was to understand the motion of time. They divided time into years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds and devised calendars which helped them predict, and therefore survive, their two rivers' ravaging floods. Inadvertently, their findings also solved the mystery behind the ups and down of money markets. From ancient Sumer to Egypt, ancient China to the native peoples of Central and North America, civilisations unlikely to have had contact with each other built remarkably similar monuments according to geometrical proportions designed to embody cosmic knowledge that would last for all time. Each deciphered time cycles, created calendars and made long term projections of natural phenomena. The Square-of-9 is a matrix embodying nature's cosmic clock. Pauline Novak-Reich takes the reader through ancient math, sacred geometry and lore demonstrating the extraordinary achievements of people who lived in tandem with nature. Each one of these civilisations discovered Nature's "Black Box". Gann often reiterated that: "Everything in existence is based on exact proportion and perfect relationship. There is no chance in nature; because mathematical principles of the highest order lie at the foundation of all things... Vibration is fundamental: nothing is exempt from this law. It is universal, therefore applicable to every class of phenomena on the globe."
