Ancient Egyptian architectural design: A study of the harmonic system Book - For the student of Egyptology, or for that matter, anyone interested in the technical/creative source of the wondrous ancient Egyptian works of high architecture, this book is an essential read. It establishes a convincing argument for the existence of precise mathematical underpinnings for the design and construction of ancient Egyptian temples. https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Egyptian-architectural-design-publications/dp/B0007DQ2JI
Hamlets Mill Book - In this classic work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, the authors track world myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of preliterate science.https://www.amazon.com/Hamlets-Mill-Investigating-Knowledge-Transmission/dp/0879232153
Kali Yuga Sanskrit scriptures - Kali Yuga "age of [the demon] Kali", or "age of vice") is the last of the four stages the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas described in the Sanskrit scriptures, within the present Mahayuga.

Memphis and every city on its two sides came to him, their arms in adoration to his face, bearing great offerings for his Ka. One of these days it happened that prince Thutmose came travelling at the time of midday. He rested in the shadow of this great god. [Sleep and] dream [took possession of him] at the moment the sun was at zenith. Then he found the majesty of this noble god speaking from his own mouth like a father speaks to his son, and saying: "Look at me, observe me, my son Thutmose. I am your father Horemakhet-Khepri-Ra-Atum. I shall give to you the kingship [upon the land before the living]....[Behold, my condition is like one in illness], all [my limbs being ruined]. The sand of the desert, upon which I used to be, (now) confronts me; and it is in order to cause that you do what is in my heart that I have waited."
