<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 2916164, member: 88401&quot;]Seeing the common forms of these small coins[ATTACH=full]705069[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]705072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]705073[/ATTACH]&nbsp; with the stellate/flower pattern it reminded me of the magic square of 3X3 or the Box of Nine as some of the ancients called it. The ancient Arab mathematicians called it Al Jabr&#039;s Box(hence=algebra).The ancients ascribed a box or grid of numbers to each of the seven planetary &quot;heavens&quot; or &quot;firmaments&quot; surrounding the Earth. The smaller the magic square(as they are now called popularly) the slower the celestial orb connected to the &quot;heaven&quot; appeared to move in the sky. This is a very involved study and is based on a radically different worldview than the one most folks have today. Having studied these for many years the tiny coins of Miletos were at first a curiosity and then I saw two rarer issues that had my jaw a little unhinged. There was the full depiction of the different grids as a lattice of cells with the original flower pattern on the center. The obverse has the cat full facing showing the total bilateral symmetry that is discovered when the grids are studied thoroughly. These folks were recording their sacred knowledge of the shape of the creation on these coins a mere 2600 years ago! The ancient Arabic culture used these number grids and this book reveals some of the geometry and meaning that these ancient mathematicians derived from them. The ancient Hebrews(see image of the Hebrew grids) and other Mesopotamian cultures and of course the Greeks also derived great value from their use and study.<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Islamic-Patterns-Analytical-Cosmological-Approach/dp/0892818034" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Islamic-Patterns-Analytical-Cosmological-Approach/dp/0892818034" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Islamic-Patterns-Analytical-Cosmological-Approach/dp/0892818034</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
