“Learn how to see.
Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
Tekst
In this Chapter I will give a brief historical account of the Sacred Geometric shapes found on artefacts throughout history.
The designation Genesis Pattern (also called the Germ of Life), Seed of Life and Flower of Life were first used by Drunvalo Melchizedek in 1985.
The Seed of Life and Flower of Life are indicated in museums and historical writings with the name “six-petal rosette”, “six-fold flower”, “hexafoil” or geometric flower(s) motif.
Marko Manninen has carried out in-depth research on this topic. Herewith 2 links

At the back of the Seti I Temple in Abydos (13th c. BC.) is the structure called the Osirion, a mortuary temple.
Similarities with similar megalithic structures from the Old Kingdom, such as the Valley Temple and the Sphinx Temple at Giza, predate the Osirion older than the Seti I Temple, between 26th-21st c. BC.
At least thirteen Flowers of Life can be seen on two supporting columns of the Osirion, although some are very faded.
Between the Flowers of Life are Greek letters, theta θ, epsilon ε, lamda λ. And possibly also the letter digamma F. Also the inscription ‘Theos Nilos’ or ‘God of the Nile’. Over the centuries, the symbols and inscriptions have faded.
The Ptolemaic dynasty (Greek-Hellenistic period) ruled Egypt from 3rd c. BC. to 30 AD.
ICXC is also written at the top of the Flowers of Life.
The Coptic (Christian) period in Egypt is from the 3rd to 7th c. AD.
