All across the world in various cultures and temples the Flower Of life symbol can be found.
Locations include:
The Temple of Osiris in Abydos and Mount Sinai in Egypt
The Forbidden City, China
The Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple), Hampi, and the temples at Ajanta, India
The Flower of Life is the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles. They are arranged to form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry
Within the Fruit Of Life's concentric circle pattern lies another pattern -- the The Fruit of Life. This symbol is composed of 13 circles taken from the design of the Flower of Life.
The Fruit of Life is said to be the blueprint of the universe, containing the basis for the design for atoms, molecular structures, life forms, in short everything in existence.
Irrespective of if you believe this in "sacred geometry" or not, i find it interesting that it's common to many cultures and religions that developed in silo of each other. And they all managed to draw a common pattern as found in nature everywhere (at a cyrstalline and atomic level) which they had no knowledge of.
Can you find the diamonds, circles, rectangles, circles, parallel lines, triangles, semi-circles and squares?
If I was teaching a primary grade class, this would be a great teaching tool for basic geometry!

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly - Geometric
Hello AAW family! It has been way too long since I have submitted or commented and I have missed it. I really enjoy photography, and this group, and all the joy it brings! I am glad to see it is still going.
This assignment combines two of my loves: photography and Geometry so I had to participate.
WIT: This is a wall hanging for my son to hang papers on. The texture of the wall bothers me so I tried to get a steep angle to blur it out. I was going to put a piece of paper or something as a backdrop to get rid of the texture but then I would lose the nice blue color of the wall. Anyways, here it is! Thank you for looking
This is a single Magic-Cube consits of 12 individual Pyramids. Each one connected on two sides and carrying rare-earth magnets to help stabilize the major structures. A single Cube has 36 magnets. There are 5 major shapes that will „fall into place“, meaning the magnets will pull it together and no hinge is left flexible. As a toy the Cube posesses the challenge of a Riddle to unlock the different Shapes or to find the paths of shortest movement between them. As Art it can be left Standing, or with the supplied Wallmount, be displayed as a hanging Object. The beauty of this dissection, displayed in Numbers, are the different sidelengths of a Single Pyramid. Namely: One, Sqareroot of Two and Half Squareroot of Three.
