Ancient Symbols

Recommended Posts

Hi, in my personal practice journal, I started a science of sound        

discussion. I just modified a function, and this picture was the result:

To me at least, it looks like a heart shaped tai chi tu. Does anyone else here believe that ancient people were actually very advanced, and modern people are for the most part primitive?

'Ancient people' is a bit of a broad term, but yes, I would agree there was a decline in some respects.

 

However, this is a rather complex topic.

Depends what you mean by 'advanced'. Under some definitions and in some areas I think they were.  In some oral cultures memory seems more advanced than it is in modern 'westernised'  people  .

If we presume that immortality is a reality, then a 2200 year old being might be more advanced than a 22 year old. The 22 year old would have a naive human nature, whereas a 2200 year old might have experienced more of the dark and light of life. Just because the 22 year old does not see or perceive the world as a 2200 year old might, the few 2200 year old beings might have created symbols, tools and ideas to guide the many 22 year old beings.

Here is a nicer view of the original function:

 

 

 

The white data in all of the above graphs is in spherical coordinates.

 

The red data is the same data as the white data, just in Cartesian coordinates.

I do not want  to get involved with theories that are based on a string of presumptions, might haves and maybes.  They tend to support fantasies.
