500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci drew human anatomy with such precision that modern doctors are still amazed.

Leonardo da Vinci didn’t just draw the human body — he unlocked it.

Here's how: 🧵 Image
Leonardo da Vinci once said:

“A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.”

His anatomical drawings are a symbol of his genius.

- combining art and science in ways that were centuries ahead of his time.

Let's dive in... Image
In 1489, he obtained a human skull and began his journey into anatomical studies.

He meticulously sectioned it to investigate its internal structure.

- producing exquisite drawings that revealed unprecedented detail... Image

This is Hermes Trismegistus.

Three unknown initiates would encode his teachings into The Kybalion.

Let's go down the rabbit hole of one of the most famous texts you probably haven't read...🧵 Hermes Trismegistus
The Kybalion, published in 1908, distills Hermes' wisdom from the Emerald Tablets into 7 core principles.

These principles offer a framework for understanding the universe and our place in it.

The rabbit hole:
Principle 1: Mentalism -

"The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental."

This principle suggests that reality is fundamentally mental in nature... Image

Imagine pitching this:

“Let’s carve out a mountain - and make it into you.”

Dinocrates wanted to do just that.

Alexander the Great had a surprising answer...

Let's check out the full story of Alexander's personal architect: 🧵 Picture edited by Classical Aegis
Dinocrates' most famous idea was to carve Mount Athos into a colossal statue of Alexander.

The statue would hold an entire city in one hand and pour a river into the sea from the other...

But Alexander's reaction was surprising... Image
Alexander was intrigued but ultimately rejected the plan.

But why?

The answer reveals a lot about both men's characters... Image

In 1950, archaeologists uncovered a broken clay tablet in Syria.

It turned out to be the first written music in human history.

The Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal

Here’s the full story, and what it sounds like: 🧵 (thread) Image
In the 1950s, archaeologists digging in Ugarit (modern-day Ras Shamra, Syria) uncovered something astonishing.

A set of 36 cuneiform tablets.

One of them contained something humanity had never seen before:

- music from 1400 BC
Hurrian Hymn No. 6 is the oldest surviving piece of music in the world.

It predates the Greek musical system by nearly a thousand years.

And unlike earlier artifacts, it contains both lyrics and instructions on how to play it. Image

He claimed stars shaped the Soul.

As Above, So Below.

His Astronomia Magna blended alchemy, astronomy, and medicine and dared to defy the entire scientific world.

Here's the story of the forgotten genius who challenged how we heal: 🧵 Picture created by Classical Aegis-- classicalaegis.com
Paracelsus was a rebel.

He burned the medical textbooks of Galen and Avicenna in public.

- arguing that true knowledge came from Nature.

- not ancient authorities... Image
So, what is Astronomia Magna?

It’s a treatise on the interconnectedness of the cosmos and humanity.

He believed celestial and earthly elements were not separate but part of a living, breathing system.

The macrocosm (universe) and microcosm (human) were mirrors of each other... Image

In Egypt there lies a structure so ancient and enigmatic, it defies explanation.

Built below ground.

With stones exceeding 100 tons.

Along with a sacred symbol etched into its walls.

This is the story of The Osirion at Abydos: 🧵 Image
The Osirion isn’t your average Egyptian temple.

It's a subterranean megalithic complex.

- filled with engineering puzzles, astronomical precision…

…and a mysterious carving known today as the Flower of Life... Image
It sits at the rear of the Temple of Seti I in Abydos (below).

- a city sacred to Osiris, god of the afterlife

However, the two structures couldn’t be more different.

Seti’s temple is refined.

The Osirion is ... primeval... Image
