Archimedes Mystery Manuscript

This documentary caught my eye last night so I decided to watch it this evening.

The TV documentary is about the ancient Greek Archimedes, his life, his work and the manuscript itself. They say that he was born in Sicily, 3BC.  He was a mathematician, famous for invention. It mentions 'Syracuse' and Nostradamus also gave a 'Syracuse' prophecy, so it is about the timeline.

On the front of the manuscript is the cross because a monk had decided to reuse the parchment to make a prayer book, a huge restoration process is underway.

The documentary mentions how Archimedes came up with the symbology for Pi and his equation for infinity. It shares that the 'dark ages' began due to the 'faith' of religion.  Its suppression, just like science is 'muzzled' today by the 'stakeholders in faith'. The documentary shares that he wrote 'The Method' and how if scientists had access to this manuscript centuries ago, that science would have progressed so much faster than it did.

This mystery manuscript that turned up in Paris and was revealed by a French family. It sounds like a release from the Vatican due to France being a Catholic country. Manuscripts and books like this do not just turn up on peoples bookshelves. Yes, there have been many collectors down the ages. However, only the wealthy could afford to collect, and a majority of the wealthy supported the Church. They are intrinsically linked. The manuscript was auctioned by Christies for $2 million.

This painting came to be today, the golden lotus flower and I can see the grass roots raising up the flower above their heads so that it can be seen.
