We are living times of change, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, ... to this day, February 6, 2011, we can not gauge the magnitude of what lies ahead, coexist in a global village and web-enabled, or Cuba, or Korea or China may continue in their isolation.
The man has searched for cosmic harmony, order in chaos, the current manifestations of the East, specifically in Egypt, I recall the importance that people in their peak gave the order , 3500 years hence the construction of hundreds of pyramids and temples looking to harmonize the space, not contrary to the desire of the creator god: ... "In the beginning, there was Nun aquatic chaos, disorder from which a primeval hill. This would have the ideological base of the Nile flood that arise hills full of life ."...
A search for harmony no stranger to mathematics, the Egyptians noted for his mastery of geometry ; at all times there mathematicians who devoted his life to understanding the world visible through pure truths of the divine world is not decoupled.
Reading a review of the recently published book Javier Sierra : "The Lost Angel" discover a strange mathematician, John Dee -not Johnny Depp. In this book, the protagonist embarks on a journey from Santiago de Compostela to Mount Ararat - Արարատ in Armenian, Ağrı Dagi in Turkish which means "mountain of pain", and where the Book of Genesis indicates rested the Ark of Noah. again the West versus the East and vice versa, supporting my ingrained idea that East needs an approach to world Western, but it is not free to initiate an approach to the oriental world forgotten and maligned.
Nile Flood, Flood, floods and apocalypse that threaten humanity with a common denominator: human communication with the divinities avoided global cataclysm.
In this novel, Sierra is based on the language of angels created by the mathematician: John Dee, actually wanted to learn the universal language of creation and achieve unity of humanity preapocalíptica . Born July 13, 1527 in London, had a recognized talent from an early age, so he was admitted to Trinity College. Between 1540 and 1550, toured Europe, studying at Leuven and Brussels and lecturing in Paris on Euclid . Learned along the astronomer Gemma Frisius and became a close friend of the cartographer Gerardus Mercator , so he returned to England with a wealth of tools and mathematical, astronomical and geographical. What he used to be the advisor of Queen Elizabeth I contributing to the maritime expansion of England ( seems to be the author the term "British Empire", the cause of the defeat of the Armada, even regarded as the real agent 007 to be that the symbol used as a spy for the queen.)
consider mathematics as an effective tool both for the welfare of man to unravel the mysteries of the universe past.
His fame grew. Mathematicians, cartographers and sailors were to consult and study with him, many nobles asked him to take charge of the education of their children and was even invited to lecture on mathematics in different schools of Oxford. In 1554, was offered the post of assistant professor of mathematics in Oxford University, who refused to criticize the overemphasis by the English universities in rhetoric and grammar (which together formed the logic and academic trivium l ), to the detriment of science and philosophy ( a quadrivium comprising arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy).
extremely studious and cultured, had the most extensive library of England, about 4000 titles in 1580.
And in his excessive eagerness understand the world beyond the limits of known science to be despised by his love of pseudo-science, astrology, alchemy, divination, hermetic philosophy., Kabbalist magic ... hence, little has survived to this day the figure of the influential mathematician, but in many books: ( El laberinto de la rosa Titania Hardie), and movies, always, associated with magic. 
And this article may not be a eulogy of pseudoscience and I, reader Martin Gardner, g ran a science writer who died recently, having reread ta many and many times his book " Science: Good, Bad and false ", should not promote false interest in science, so I recommend reading the latter.
In the shadow of a temple in the company saw a friend of mine a blind thoughtful.
- Behold - my friend told me the wisest among us.
And I left my friend to approach the blind.
I greeted him and sat down beside her, inviting him to enter into conversation with me.
After a short time, I asked
- Which of the doctrines Wisdom profess?
And I replied;
- I'm an astronomer and astrologer
And then put his hand on his chest and said, saying
- I watch these suns and moons and these stars.
El Loco of Khalil Gibran
