Synopsis

Excerpt from Origin of Architectural Design: Or the Archaeology of Astronomy

In this thesis we attempt to establish the truth in re several much discussed subjects. Man as man is a very interesting study, and we can trace his history only by the monuments he has left behind him, whether intentionally or unintentionally. These monuments may take the form varying from a potsherd to the Great Pyramid at Cheops, but it is all markings of the advancement of man.

Sometime in the history of the human race, architecture must have had its beginning; something must have served as a model. The question naturally arises: - What was that model? In this thesis we are endeavoring to arrive at conclusions in regard to: -

1. The Origin of Architectural Design.

2. The Relation of Astronomy (as conceived by the primitive races) to Religion.

3. The Actual Scientific Knowledge Possessed by the Earliest of Civilized Peoples, i. e., the Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks.
