Symbols have accompanied the human being since the dawn of his history, when for the first time they needed to know what the meaning of his existence was. Primitive religions were born close to the first existential questions and, step by step, found in symbols the best way to transmit all the spiritual knowledge they treasured. But, that sacred knowledge should only be accessible to a few initiates, and that is why symbols are often so hermetic and veiled that they can even go unnoticed, and they are almost always difficult to understand.
From Upper Paleolithic man to Maya and Incas, through Hittites, Egyptians, Czechs, Greeks and Romans, Vikings, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Cathars and Templars, and through oriental cultures such as Buddhism or Hinduism. The author takes a tour around different beliefs and religions that have emerged throughout history, looking for the keys so as to find occult meanings behind its sacred symbology.
Do the numbers that appear in the Bible have a hidden meaning? What secrets do the stunning Gothic cathedrals treasure? Were Cathars aware of a secret that led them to the bonfire? These and many other questions are mentioned in the pages of this book.
