"1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second month, in the second year after they left the land of Egypt, saying:

2 Number the whole congregation of the children of Israel, according to their generations, according to the house of their families, according to the number of names, every male without exception:

3 from twenty years and above, all who were fit for war in Israel, according to their armies, number them - you and Aaron"

The founder of the European doctrine of numbers was Pythagoras, who is credited with saying: "The world is built on the power of numbers." In his school, knowledge of the properties of numbers was the first step on the path to esoteric knowledge. Numbers, according to Pythagoras, have both quantitative and qualitative features. Studying the properties of numbers, the Pythagoreans were the first to pay attention to the laws of their divisibility. They divided all numbers into even - "masculine" and odd - "feminine", or otherwise "gnomon" and, which is very important, into simple and compound ones. The Pythagoreans called composite numbers, represented as a product of two factors, "flat numbers" and depicted them as rectangles, and composite numbers represented as a product of three factors, "solid numbers" and depicted them as parallelepipeds. They called prime numbers, which cannot be represented as products, "linear numbers."

The Pythagoreans considered perfect numbers to be numbers that were equal to the sum of their divisors (excluding the number itself), such as 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 or 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. There are not many perfect numbers. Among the single-digit ones - this is only 6, among the two-digit, three-digit and four-digit - only 28, 496 and 8128, respectively. Two numbers with the property that the sum of the divisors of one of them is equal to the other, were called "friendly".

In general, the language of numbers, this is a kind of magic and who knows how to understand it, goes beyond the framework of being.

The author, unfortunately, is not the person who was given mathematical abilities. However, God gave every person the opportunity to analyze and the desire to know the truth. And in this short miniature, I will try to unravel the mystery of the Magi who brought their gifts to Jesus.

The magi brought three gifts to the newborn messiah: frankincense, gold and myrrh (or myrrh). In the Orthodox tradition, each Gift had a symbolic meaning. So, incense was brought as a gift to the baby (God), gold indicated the royal destiny of Jesus, and myrrh, or the fragrant resin of myrrh, symbolized the sacrifice that Christ had to offer himself. So, God, king and sacrifice.

Gold plates in the form of parallelepipeds and rectangles, to which 60 beads are suspended on silver threads. In their cavity they contain a mixture of myrrh and incense.

I suggest taking a look at the intro to the miniature to understand what exactly was given to Jesus. As you can see, these are the most common numbers from Pythagorean mathematics - simple and composite.

Following the New Chronology Fomenko A. T. and G. V. Nosovsky, I claim that the Magi are Prince Vladimir (Belshazzar), the queen-mother Mavka (Melchior) and the commander of their troops, Hetman Ataman (Kaspar). You can read about this in the works of these remarkable scientists. I highly recommend them, to the reader, for the sake of the concept of the real history of the world and Russia.

Jesus Christ has many reflections in history: He is the god Osiris, Buddha, Hercules, Isa the prophet, Andronicus and many others. Moreover, he is Pythagoras.

I repeat, those who wish themselves will find confirmation of this, and based on the knowledge gained, I will try to explain what the baby Jesus received from the Russian rulers as a gift. I ask you to take into account the following: The Magi are not just strangers to the Savior and Mary, they are his relatives, because Maria is a Russian princess from the Rurik family, and on many icons she is depicted in the crown of the princess-marquise or in the Byzantine crown of the sevastokrator, which she received as a title of reverence from her husband the sevastocrator Isaac, the youngest son of the Byzantine emperor Alexei I Komnenos. Mary the Mother of God has nothing to do with Jews. She is the mother of Andronicus Comnenus, the real prototype of Jesus Christ, crucified in Byzantium by his rebellious commander Angel Isaac Satan. It was this real event that formed the basis of the biblical legend of Christ and the Antichrist.

And now let's move on to understanding the gifts that the Magi brought.

In the field of mathematics, Pythagoras is credited with the systematic introduction of proofs into geometry, the creation of the doctrine of similarity, the proof of the theorem bearing his name, the construction of some regular polygons and polyhedra. His name is also associated with the doctrine of even and odd, simple and composite, figured and perfect numbers, arithmetic, geometric and harmonic proportions.

The Pythagoreans accepted the sphericity of the earth and its movement around the central fire - a source of light and heat; other luminaries move around it, which produce a musical and euphonic noise, the so-called "harmony of spheres".

The Pythagoreans recognized the immortality of the soul and its gradual purification (catharsis) through comprehension of the musical-numerical structure of the cosmos.

Unfortunately, this is where my mathematical knowledge is limited. But nobody canceled the logic?

And what if these gifts, compactly presented mathematics and philosophy of knowledge of the Magi, passed on to their relative? All these plates made of gold and beads differ in configuration, quantity and color. Moreover, on the plates themselves there is a different ornament and on one of them the Sun is guessed. Let's just imagine that if they are correctly positioned (tuning), something will sound (or appear in the mathematical series) that I'm even afraid to say! Isn't it TRUE?

Those who are familiar with the image of Andronicus know that with complete disregard for theology, he possessed exceptional knowledge and quoted Holy Scripture. By the way, at his coronation, Andronicus swore precisely on the Holy Gifts that he had never been in Byzantium before, and with his crucifixion, Mary the Mother of God gave the Gifts to the Temple of Hagia Sophia - the biblical temple of Solomon, dedicated not to the woman of Hagia Sophia, but to Sophia - the Wisdom of God - Holy Wisdom. Later they will find themselves on the Athos-monastery. And before that they were always in Byzantium.

Did they not belong to the One to whom the Temple was built? Look at the Magi, at the icons and appreciate the reverence with which they carry these gifts to Mary and Jesus!

This is an undoubted relic that existed long before the birth of the Savior and the OBVIOUS KNOWLEDGE that Christ preached. If you place the plates correctly, get acquainted with the Pythagorean system, understand the meaning of the beads filled with incense, it is possible that SOMETHING will sound that we are striving for.

Remember the parables of Christ, the expressions of Pythagoras and Buddha that have come down to us, imagine how many Gospels are hidden and the texts have been changed, how many books have been burned and people who do not perceive the official church. All this suggests that 28 gold plates are not simple jewelry. Here is completely different! And most likely these are laws written in a certain sequence and giving the key to understanding the world. After all, it was not for nothing that Pythagoras left us his row, according to which astrologers are now making forecasts, and the number 28 in numerology suggests that a person born under it will be treated kindly by nature three times.

Almost every world religion has its own "sacred numbers", and each number symbolizes a specific meaning.

The NUMBER "0" has the same symbolism as the empty circle, indicating both the absence of death and the absolute life within the circle.

For Pythagoras, zero is the perfect form.

In Taoism, zero symbolizes emptiness and nothingness.

In Buddhism, it is emptiness and non-substance.

In Islam, it is a symbol of the Essence of the Divine.

In the teachings of Kabbalah - infinity, infinite light, one.

The NUMBER "1" means the primary unity, the beginning, the Creator.

The NUMBER "2" means duality.

According to Pythagoras, a dyad is a divided earthly being.

In Buddhism, two is the duality of samsara, masculine and feminine, wisdom and method, blind and lame, united in order to see the path and walk along it.

In China, it is yin, feminine, earthly, unfavorable principle.

In Christianity - Christ has two natures: God and man.

In the Jewish tradition, life force.

In Kabbalah - wisdom and self-awareness.

In Hinduism - duality, shakta - shakti.

In Islam, it is spirit.

DIGIT "3". The idea of trinity is the basis of many ancient philosophical and religious teachings. Three-dimensionality of space is associated with the triplet: length-width-height; three-phase substance: solid-liquid - vapor; trinity of time: past - present - future; a person (body, soul and spirit), as well as birth, life and death; beginning, middle and end; past, present and future; three phases of the moon; the trinity of the World; in many religions, the upper World is the sky, the middle one is the earth, the lower one is water.

Three is a heavenly number that symbolizes the soul. This is the number of luck.

In Christianity: Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the unity of body and soul in man and the Church. Three hypostases - this is the dogma of the Trinity, which is a distinctive feature of Christianity from Islam and Judaism. Therefore, the number "3" is the sacred number of Christianity. The Bible speaks of three gifts of the Magi to Christ as God, the King and the Atoning Sacrifice, three images of the Transfiguration, three temptations, three denials of Peter, three crosses on Calvary, three days of Christ's death, three appearances after death, three qualities, or theological virtues: Faith, Hope, Love.

In Kabbalah, the three symbolizes understanding, as well as the trinity of masculine and feminine principles and the mutual understanding that unites them.

In Hinduism - Trimurti, the threefold power of creation, destruction and preservation; various triplets of deities; the moon chariot has three wheels.

In Japan, the Three Treasures are a mirror, a sword and a gem; truth, courage and compassion.

In the Chinese character "wang" (three horizontal lines connected by a vertical line), which means the word "prince", the upper horizontal line symbolizes the sky, the lower - the earth, the middle - the person who, on behalf of the sky, rules the earth.

In folklore, there are three wishes, three attempts, three princes, three witches, fairies (two good, one evil).

Toasts are threefold. The three also means execution. Countless are the triplets of deities and powers. Triune lunar deities and trinity goddesses abound in the Semitic, Greek, Celtic, and ancient Germanic religions.

The main symbol of the triplet is a triangle. Three interlocking rings or triangles symbolize the indissoluble unity of the three faces of the trinity. Other symbols: trident, fleur-de-lis, shamrock, three lightning bolts, trigrams. Lunar animals are often tripods, representing the three phases of the moon.

NUMBER "4" means wholeness, totality, completeness; four cardinal points, seasons, winds, sides of a square.

In Pythagoreanism, the four means perfection, harmonious proportion, justice, earth. Four is the number of the oath of the Pythagoreans.

In Christianity, the number four is the number of the body, while the number three symbolizes the soul. Four rivers of paradise, the Gospel, the evangelist, the main archangel, the main devil. Four fathers of the church, great prophets, the main virtues (wisdom, firmness, justice, moderation). Four winds carrying the One Spirit, four apocalyptic horsemen, tetramorphs (synthesis of the forces of the four elements).

Four is a symbolic number in the Old Testament. The four rivers of paradise, forming a cross, four parts of the earth, etc., are found almost everywhere in symbolism. The four can be depicted as a four-leafed, as well as a square or a cross.

In Buddhism, the Tree of Life Damba has four branches, four sacred rivers of paradise flow from its roots, symbolizing four boundless desires: compassion, affection, love, impartiality; four directions of the heart.

In China, four is the number of the earth, which is symbolized by the square. Four rivers of immortality. Four is an even, Yin number. In Chinese Buddhism, there are four heavenly guards guarding each side of the world.

In Egypt, four is a sacred number of time, a solar measure. The firmament rests on four pillars. Four burial urns, placed on four sides around the deceased, are guarded by the four sons of Horus, who are connected to the four cardinal points.

In the Jewish tradition, this is a measure, a blessing, understanding.

Among the American Indians, this number is most often used as the four cardinal points. The four winds are depicted with a cross and a swastika. Ritual and ceremonial actions are repeated four times.

In Kabbalah, the four means memory. Four worlds of Kabbalah, four directions in space and four hierarchical levels of the Torah.

In Hinduism, the four is the totality, completeness, perfection. The Creator, Brahma, has four faces. The temple stands on four sides of a square, symbolizing order and finality. Four tattvas, four human bodies, four kingdoms of nature (animal, vegetable, mineral, kingdom of the mind), four yugas. In a dice game, a four means a win. Four castes, four pairs of opposites.

The Islamic four includes the principle - creator, world spirit, world soul, primordial matter. They correspond to the four worlds of Kabbalah. There are four more angelic beings, four houses of death.

NUMBER "5" is the number of a sacred marriage, since it is the sum of a female (even) two and a male (odd) three.

In the Greco-Roman tradition, five is the number of marriage, love, unity; the number of Venus, and the years of Venus form groups of five years. Apollo, as the god of light, has five qualities: he is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, eternal, one.

In Christianity, the five symbolizes a person after the Fall; five senses; five points forming a cross; five wounds of Christ; five fish, with which five thousand people were fed; five books of Moses.

In Buddhism, the heart has four directions, which, together with the center, form a five and symbolize universality. There are five Dhyani-buddhas: Vairochana - Blazing, Akshobhya - Imperturbable, Ratnasambhava - Gem, Amitabha - Infinite Light, Amoghasiddhi - Unchanging Fortune.

The Chinese have five elements, five atmospheric substances, five states, planets, sacred mountains, grains, flowers, types of taste, poisons, powerful amulets, basic virtues, initiations, eternal ideals, five types of relationships within humanity. In the Jewish tradition, five is strength and severity, understanding of the essence.

In Kabbalah, five means fear.

In Hinduism, these are five-member groups of the world, five elements of the subtle and gross states, five basic colors, feelings, five faces of Shiva and twice five incarnations of Vishnu.

In Islam, there are five pillars of faith, five divine presences, five basic tenets, five actions, five times daily prayer.

DIGIT "6". Means balance, harmony. Most prolific of all numbers (Philo).

In numerology, the number 6 means the union of two triangles - male and female, one of which stands on the base, and the other is turned upside down. This mark is well known as the Shield of David, the hexagon that is featured on the flag of the State of Israel.

NUMBER "7" is considered sacred, and divine, and magical, and happy. Seven was revered for many centuries BC, in the Middle Ages, and is revered today.

In Babylon, a seven-step temple was built in honor of the main gods. The priests of this city claimed that after death, after passing through seven gates, people enter the underworld, surrounded by seven walls.

In ancient Greece, the number seven was called the number of Apollo, one of the most important gods of the Olympic religion. It is known from mythology that the inhabitants of Athens annually sent seven young men and seven girls to be devoured by the Minotaur, a man-bull, who lived in a labyrinth on the island of Crete; Tantalus's daughter Niobe had seven sons and seven daughters; The nymph of the island Ogygia Calypso held Odysseus captive for seven years; the whole world is familiar with the "seven wonders of the world", etc.

Ancient Rome also idolized the number seven. The city itself is built on seven hills; the river Styx, surrounding the underworld, flows seven times around hell, divided by Virgil into seven regions.

Islam, Christianity and Judaism recognize the seven-step act of creating the universe. However, in Islam, the number "7" has a special meaning. According to Islam, there are seven heavens; those who enter the seventh heaven experience supreme bliss. Therefore, the number "7" is the sacred number of Islam.

In the Christian holy books, the number seven is mentioned many times: “Whoever kills Cain will take revenge seven times”, “… and seven years of abundance … and seven years of famine came”, “and count for yourself seven Sabbath years, seven times seven years, so that you have forty-nine years in the seven Sabbath years, etc. Christians have seven weeks of Great Lent. There are seven angelic ranks, seven deadly sins. In many countries it is customary to put seven dishes on the Christmas table, the name of which begins with one letter.

In Brahmin and Buddhist beliefs and worship, the number seven is also sacred. From the Hindus, the custom began to give seven elephants for good luck - figurines made of bone, wood or other material.

The seven was very often used by healers, fortune tellers and sorcerers: "Take seven bags, with seven different herbs, infusion in seven waters and drink seven days in seven spoons …".

The number seven is associated with many mysteries, signs, proverbs, sayings: "Seven spans in the forehead", "Seven nannies have a child without an eye", "Measure seven times, cut one", "One with a bipod, seven with a spoon", "For beloved friend seven miles is not a outskirts "," For seven miles of kissel "," Seven troubles - one answer "," Over the seven seas ", etc.

NUMBER "8" - the number of newly acquired paradise, as well as renewal, restoration, happiness. The eighth day gave birth to a new, perfect person. After seven days of fasting and repentance, spiritual renewal begins on the eighth.

For the Pythagoreans, eight means three-dimensionality and stability.

In the Sumerian-Semitic tradition, eight is the magic number of Heaven.

For Buddhists, the eight is the completeness, the totality of all possibilities. Eight symbols of good omen.

For the Chinese, it means the whole, all the possibilities manifested, good luck. Ba-gua are eight trigrams and pairs of opposites, usually arranged in a circle, symbolizing time and space. Eight joys of human existence.

In Christianity, it means restoration and rebirth. The baptismal is usually octagonal, which symbolizes the place of rebirth. Eight Beatitudes.

In Egypt, eight is the number of Thoth.

The Jews have the number of the Lord; the Temple was consecrated for eight days.

In Hinduism, 8x8 means the order of the heavenly world established on earth. The structure of the temples reproduces the mandala, which is characterized by the same symbolism - 8x8. There are eight regions of the world, eight suns, parts of the day, chakras.

In Islam, the throne governing the world is supported by eight angels corresponding to eight directions and eight groups of letters of the Arabic alphabet.

In the Japanese, eight means a lot; there are eight gods in the sky.

The NUMBER "9" means omnipotence, and represents the Triple Triad (3x3). This is the number of the circle, hence the division by 90 and 360 degrees.

The Pythagoreans have nine - the limit of all numbers, within which all others exist and circulate. This number is heavenly and angelic, heaven on earth.

Nine is a sacred number in Scandinavian and ancient Germanic symbolism.

Nine rarely appears in Christian symbolism. There are triple triads of angelic choirs, nine spheres and circles around hell.

For Buddhists, nine is the highest spiritual force, a heavenly number.

For the Chinese, 3x3 is the most auspicious of all numbers, meaning also eight directions plus the center as the ninth point, as in the Hall of Light. There are nine basic social laws and nine classes of officials.

In the Greco-Roman tradition, there are nine gods, and later nine muses.

The Jews have nine - pure understanding, the truth, since the nine reproduces itself when multiplied.

In Kabbalah it symbolizes foundation.

NUMBER "10" is the number of the cosmos, it contains all numbers, and therefore all things and possibilities, this is the basis and turning point of the whole counting. Means something all-encompassing, law, order, power.1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 - symbolizes the divine; one means a point, two - extension, three (triangle) - plane, four - volume or space.

For the Pythagoreans, a dozen is the renewal of the row, perfection.

In Rome, this number was represented by the sign X - a perfect figure, meaning completeness.

Ten is also the number of completing travels and returning to the starting point. Odysseus wandered for nine years, and returned in the tenth year. Troy was under siege for nine years and fell in the tenth year.

The Chinese depict a dozen in the form of a cross, the center of which is formed by the hieroglyph chi, which symbolizes the human I, in front of which lie both paths, yin and yang, this is a perfect figure. The Ten Heavenly Stems (Gan) are possibly associated with the ten-day week of the most common cycle.

Christians have ten commandments of the Decalogue, parables about ten lamps, virgins, talents. Tithing was dedicated to God.

In Kabbalah, ten is the numerical value of the letter J-yod - the Eternal Word, the first letter of the name of God. Symbolizes a brilliant ability to understand, divine support.

In Islam, an important role is played by usr (tithe), a tax on land holdings, which should go to the general needs of Muslims.

DIGIT "11". Since ten is a perfect number and law, eleven symbolizes going beyond both and means sin, violation of the law, danger.

NUMBER "12" personifies the cosmic order. This is the number of zodiac signs and months in a year (six masculine and six feminine). Twelve o'clock day and night. Twelve fruits on the Cosmic Tree. In addition, the twelve days of a return to chaos at the winter solstice, when the dead return, were celebrated in Rome during the Saturnalia. The twelve days before Christmas have the same symbolism.

This figure is found in Vedic, Chinese, pagan and European symbolism: 12 members on the council of the Dalai Lama, 12 paladins (peers) of Charlemagne, 12 Knights of the Round Table.

Christians have 12 fruits of the spirit, stars, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles, 12 gates and stones at the base of the Holy City, 12 days of the celebration of Christmas.

The Egyptians have 12 gates of hell, in which Ra spends the night hours.

The Greeks on Olympus have 12 gods and goddesses, 12 titans.

In the Jewish tradition - 12 fruits of the Tree of Life; 12 gates of the Heavenly City; 12 cakes on the table of the temple, representing the months of the year; 12 gems in Aaron's breastplate; 12 tribes of Israel, sons of Jacob.

In Islam, 12 imams, descendants of Ali, rule the twelve o'clock of the day.

DIGIT "13". The attitude to this number has always been special: it was considered either unlucky, or, conversely, bringing good luck.

In Christianity, during the evening services of the last week of Great Lent, thirteen candles (among the Catholics they are called tenepae) are extinguished one after another, which symbolizes the darkness that came on earth after the death of Christ. The number thirteen is considered unlucky because it is the number of Judas along with Jesus and the apostles. It is also the number of the witches' coven.

Among the Aztecs, this mysterious number was associated with the concept of time, namely, it meant the end of the time cycle. They also believed that the number "13" is somehow connected with heaven. In the hair of one of their main deities, there were thirteen locks, and in the beard - the same number of locks.

The ancient Chinese erected numerous temples in honor of the god Huang Di. The emperor's servants made sacrifices in these temples on the 13th of the first and fifth months of each year.

The sacred book "Kabbalah" mentions thirteen evil spirits, the number "13" designates a snake, dragon, Satan and a murderer.

The thirteenth chapter of the Apocalypse concerns the Antichrist and the Beast.

This number is used in fortune telling. There are many superstitions associated with it. Many hotels in the United States do not have a thirteenth floor or a thirteenth room. In addition, there is no seat # 13 on the planes of American airlines. In a number of large cities in France, houses, which should have a serial number "13", are designated by the code 12 bis. The hostesses are wary of placing 13 guests at the table.

This is thought to be related to memories of the Last Supper; when during the last meal of Jesus Christ, in addition to the twelve apostles around him, there was also the thirteenth - the traitor Judas.

"40". Means trial, trial, dedication, death. The special significance of forty days goes back, apparently, to Babylon, where the forty-day period of the disappearance of the Pleiades from the sky was a time of rains, storms and floods and was considered dangerous. The Romans quarantined arriving ships for forty days, and the word itself is derived from the word "forty."

Temples among the Persians, Tatars, in Baalbek, the temples of the Druids, the temple of Ezekiel had forty columns. In Christianity, forty days from Easter to Ascension is a period of inviolability and a time of the right to asylum. In the Old Testament, Moses spent forty days at Sinai; Elijah hid for forty days; for forty days the downpour of the Flood was pouring; the forty days of the trial of Nineveh at Jonah; the Jews wandered in the desert for forty years; they walked for forty years under the yoke of the Philistines; David and Solomon reigned for forty years; Elijah judged Israel for forty years. The book of the prophet Ezekiel speaks of a vision in which God commanded the prophet for forty years of the lawlessness of the house of Judah to lie on his right side for forty days.

In Egypt, forty days after his death, Osiris was absent, this is the period of fasting.

In Islam, forty is the number of change and death, but also reconciliation and return to principle. Mohammed was called at the age of forty. The Quran is read every forty days.

In Mithraism, forty is the number of days of initiation rites, festivals and sacrifices.

"60". Time number (60 minutes and 60 seconds).

In Egypt, it symbolized longevity.

In China, it is a cyclical number that symbolizes the sexagesimal cycle, known in the past in the West as the Chinese cycle. The interaction of alternating Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches is built in such a way that the cycle ends in the sixtieth year, when all combinations are exhausted, and then repeats again. Six cycles are roughly equal to a tropical year.

"70". In Jewish symbolism, seventy candelabra branches represent the Decans - twelve zodiacal divisions of seven planets into tens. Seventy years is the duration of a human life.

"666". In Christianity - the sign of the Beast, the Antichrist.

In Kabbalah 666 is the number of Sorat, the solar demon opposing Archangel Michael.

"888". According to the numerical value of the Hebrew letters, this is the number of Jesus as opposed to 666 - the number of the Beast.

And this is just what I found on the skid on the Web, without straining my mind too much. Can't historians see all of the above?

And yet I will add mystics to the numbers. According to the monks of the monastery, if you bring one of the 28 "pendants" to your ear, you can hear a whisper, and the pendants themselves talk with each other in the storage area. Whispering? Or maybe this is some kind of music of the Universe, a special way of carrying knowledge, through the language of numbers? After all, none of the pendants is similar to the other, and they are all unique not only in relation to Mary and Jesus, but also in the filigree performance. And their collection, SOMETHING complete and harmonious, like mathematics itself, to which Pythagoras assigned the first place in describing the world and its influence on it. I'm sure this is a digital mix, but what is the essence of it? Take a closer look at each item from this collection - this is explicit coded information, perhaps even a matrix. And its value is not in gold and incense. It is not so expensive now and there is much more gold in any bank. I think in those days the Magi could have brought chests of gold and bales of incense. Look at their clothes on the icons - these are wealthy people. And they brought 28 small plates and 60 beads to them. But the Magi possessed secret knowledge and understood what was waiting for Jesus, what is His role in the world of people. And yet they presented relatively inexpensive "pendants". So there was a sense in this, the ancients were not stupid.

Yeees! Whatever one may say, but to the Gifts, it's time to take a closer look at mathematicians. Obviously their bread! Here logic alone is not enough. Here is the place for mathematical analysis. The Pythagorean teaching requires a new awareness and the key to it is the GIFTS OF THE SAGES.
