And the depiction of the industry in Lukrum Industries is really incredibly spot on-- in the way it's written, Leonard mentioned the three astronauts that just went.
And with the National Park too, people that feel that they handled this very badly, they're nervous about anything that they do. Leonard Lopate laughed about that when I was on his show.
So I thought, I'll change my name. Leonard part, I'll keep the Leonard part.That's OK. But I got to change the garbage.

And why? Because copiests thought they were copying an artist. Leonardo da Vinci was a mathematician that also was an artist. And I know he would have wanted his knot art included when authenticating a "Salvator Mundi" or an Earlier Version

Again, it transforms an impulse into a choice. Leonardo da Vinci said, "You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself.
And the Borgias-- just everybody who got involved in their politics got more or less killed. Leonardo, by staying completely out of politics, actually managed to have them patron his works, and funding. So he also was very, very interested in anatomy, of course.
is to prove that Galen was right. Leonardo, on the other hand, he didn't want to prove that anybody was right. He wanted to learn what's there.
So that means whoever started writing the first, whoever wrote the first of those abacus books not only was able to read and understand Leonardo's scholarly tome, "Liber Abaci", but also read and understand his other scholarly tome, "Practical Geometry." So that's an awful lot of work.
But it was a major shipping port back in the time of Leonardo. Leonardo would have gone out on a dirt road, on a cart. Now there's a very fast road that takes you down there pretty quickly.
I got references that said it had been taken out of storage in 1966 and put in this garden. Leonardo himself would put this kind of thing in the border.
it so uh if there is nobody has called it out anywhere but I think somebody posted this a long time ago maybe Leonardo dvinci I don't know it could be way back then uh but it came out and and it got published and they talked about it it's probably some University or something um yeah and and people adopted it um I kind of so I I believe it's open

Its sacred meaning-- man's connection to his creator. And Leonardo's absolute favorite, the eternity knot. If he could have been the designer and the inventor of the eternity knot, he would have been so pleased with himself.
And on the forearm of Arkangel Gabriel, blowing in the wind is the knot of Isis. Perhaps Leonardo's fascination with knots was because of his surname, Vinci. In Italian, the verb would be ,, which means to win or conquer.

And I also had it analyzed by sacred geometer Keith Critchlow from London, very well-renowned, written several books on the subject.
