Sacred Geometry: The Hidden Codes of the World's Great MonumentsWhy do the world's greatest monuments - the Pyramids of Giza, the Parthenon, Chartres Cathedral, the Taj Mahal - still captivate us centuries later? The answer lies in a universal language older than words: Geometry. In Sacred Geometry: The Hidden Codes of the World's Great Monuments, author Pranav Pandya takes readers on a breathtaking journey across civilizations to uncover how ancient architects encoded mathematics, proportion, and cosmic harmony into stone. These temples, pyramids, stupas, mosques, and cathedrals were never built as mere shelters - they were designed as bridges between earth and sky, matter and spirit, human and divine. Inside you will discover: The golden ratio hidden in the Great Pyramid of Giza and Orion's BeltThe ideal proportions of Greek temples and the Parthenon's subtle refinementsIndian mandalas in stone, cosmic blueprints carved into templesBuddhist stupas spiraling pilgrims toward enlightenmentIslamic mosques and palaces where infinite patterns bloom in tile and lightGothic cathedrals transforming geometry into radiant stained glassMayan and Inca wonders aligned with solstices, equinoxes, and the starsWith vivid storytelling and clear explanations, this book reveals the timeless codes that unite science, art, and spirituality.
