‘Are any messages encoded in the design arrangement and Masonry of Ancient Megalithic Structures?’

Posted on by

AI – ‘Yes, it’s widely believed by some that messages are encoded in the design and masonry of ancient megalithic structures, particularly through the principles of sacred geometry. This system of geometry, where proportions and forms are given spiritual or cosmic significance, was used by many ancient cultures to express cosmological ideas. While not all cultures universally shared these principles, the recurrence of certain patterns across diverse civilizations suggests a shared understanding of the cosmos and a desire to encode these ideas into their monumental architecture. 

How messages were encoded:

  • Sacred Geometry:

Specific geometric ratios and shapes were believed to possess intrinsic spiritual or cosmic significance. These were incorporated into architectural designs to convey profound spiritual or cosmological meanings. 

  • Cosmological and Astronomical Alignment:

The arrangement of stones in structures like stone circles was likely for ritual or astronomical purposes, possibly acting as a form of “map to the stars” to help understand the cosmos. 

  • Material and Craftsmanship:

The sheer scale and precise craftsmanship of megalithic structures also communicate messages about the ingenuity and engineering prowess of ancient builders. The intricate and monumental nature of the masonry itself can be seen as a testament to their advanced techniques, sparking curiosity about their knowledge and capabilities, as noted in studies by the Taylor & Francis Online and Facebook posts about Çavuştepe. 

Examples of encoded meaning:

  • Mandalas and Pyramids:

In India, the Himalayas, and ancient Egypt, the design principles of sacred geometry were applied to designs and pyramids to convey spiritual and cosmological ideas, according to wealthplanning.tv. 

  • Shared Cultural Significance:

Similarities in the architectural features of megalithic structures found in geographically separated regions, like India and the Caucasus, suggest a shared cultural significance or parallel development of ideas and practices, according to a Facebook post.’
