The monumental "Temple of Man" represents the most important
breakthrough in our understanding of Ancient Egypt since the
discovery of the Rosetta stone. This exhaustive and authoritative
study reveals the depths of the mathematical, medical, and
metaphysical sophistication of Ancient Egypt. Schwaller de Lubicz's
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 temple's
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 humanity's perennial search
for self-knowledge and the prehistoric origins of its culture and
science.
