Rome – Secrets in Plain Sight

 

Channel: Secrets in Plain Sight
Duration: 7:48
Description: Secrets In Plain Sight is an awe inspiring exploration of great art, architecture, and urban design which skillfully unveils an unlikely intersection of geometry, politics, numerical philosophy, religious mysticism, new physics, music, astronomy, and world history.
Exploring key monuments and their positions in Egypt, Stonehenge, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, London, Edinburgh, Washington DC, New York, and San Francisco brings to light a secret obsession shared by pharaohs, philosophers and kings; templars and freemasons; great artists and architects; popes and presidents, spanning the whole of recorded history up to the present time.
As the series of videos reveals how profound ancient knowledge inherited from Egypt has been encoded in units of measurement, in famous works of art, in the design of major buildings, in the layout of city streets and public spaces, and in the precise placement of obelisks and other important monuments upon the Earth, the viewer is led to perceive an elegant harmonic system linking the human body with the architectural, urban, planetary, solar, and galactic scales.

Ancient Greek / Roman Music – Organographia III

 

Channel: Aemilius Paulus
Duration: 3:51
Description: Despite the fact this music is a reproduction of Greek creations, the Ancient Romans were notable for deriving nearly all of their music (especially in upper-class settings) from the Greeks. Therefore, this music was just as common in the Roman Republic/Empire as it was in Greece. In fact, at least two of the Musica Romana pieces are nearly identical to the songs produced by this group.
