Serpent in the Sky

The question of secrecy

Had the Egyptian's possessed both their high order of knowledge, and a manner of expressing or encoding it similar to our own, Schwaller de Lubicz's work would have been unnecessary and th e paradox of supposed primitives producing artistic masterpieces would have never arisen. Beyond a certain level, in every one of the arts and sciences of Egypt, knowledge was secret. The rules, axioms, theorems and formulae — the very stuff of modern science and scholarship— were never made public, and may never have been written down. But the question of secrecy is today thoroughly misunder stood. It is generally agreed among scholars that most ancient societies (and many modern primitive ones) reserved certain types of knowledge for select initiates . At best this practice is considered absurd and undemocratic, at worst it is considered a form of intellectual tyranny, by which a class of priestly conmen kept the masses in a state of quiescent awe. But the ancient mind was rather subtler than our own. There were (and are) good reasons for keeping certain types of knowledge secret, including the secrets of number and geometry; a Pythagorean practice that particularly arouses the ire of modern mathematicians. Five was the sacred number of the Pythagoreans, and members of the brotherhood were sworn to secrecy regarding it on pain of death . We know the secrets existed only because they leaked out.

That Egypt possessed this knowledge is incontestable in the face of the harmonic proportions of her art and architecture as revealed by Schwaller de Lubicz. But perhaps unfortunately, Egypt was also much better at keeping her secrets than the loudmouthed Greeks — so very good that Egyptologists refuse to believe she possessed them. Though by definition circumstantial, the evidence that she did so is commanding, and it remains only to understand the valid motives behind keeping this kind (or any kind) of knowledge secret.

In a world of hydrogen bombs, bacteriological warfare and other progressive horrors, it is self-evident that knowledge is dangerous. It is also self-evident that the ancients possessed no technology capable of unleashing such brutal power. However, if we look more closely at the manner in which we are emotionally and psychologically influenced — which in turn makes predictable the manner in which we will react to given situations — we will see that dangerous knowledge lies behind this curious Pythagorean number symbolism .
