The Riddle of the sPHInx: a²+b²=c² 🧵
The 47th Proposition of Pythagoras, erroneously credited to Euclid, states that in a Right Angle Triangle, the sum of the squares on the two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. This Formula was the Basis of the Egyptian Religion.

Mathematically expressed as a²+b²=c²
For a Right Angle Triangle with lengths of sides in the ratio 3:4:5, FIVE represents the hypotenuse or the Offspring of the Divine Union of 3 & 4.
3:4:5 is called the First Pythagorean Triplet as 3²+4²=5², which is reduced to 9+16=25

3:4:5 is called the First Pythagorean Triplet as 3²+4²=5², which is reduced to 9+16=25
The first four numbers are 1, 2, 3 & 4.
The SQUARES of these FOUR Numbers are:
1²: 2²: 3²: 4² equaling 1: 4: 9: 16
When you subtract each square from the next one, you get 3:5:7
4-1=3
9-4=5
16-9=7
In Masonic Symbolism, the ratio of the 3:5:7 Winding Steps is paramount.

3:5:7 represents the steps in Masonry. This ratio of steps is the exact number of brothers AND the number of Master Masons needed to open a lodge.
3: Master Mason
5: Fellow Craft
7: Entered Apprentice
The 3:5:7 Winding Stairs leads to the Middle Chamber, the Holy of Holies.

Manly Hall explains the Order of the Steps was SEVEN, FIVE & THREE: the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Five Senses & Emotions of Man, and the Three Steps Symbolic of the Trinity of G-d in Man: Father, Son & Holy Spirit in the Macrocosm; Body, Soul & Spirit in the Microcosm.
According to the Alchemists, the 47th Proposition of showed the proper proportions of Salt, Sulphur & Mercury which corresponds Body, Soul & Spirit. necessary to form the Philosopher's Stone. In this analogy the number THREE symbolizes SPIRIT, FOUR the BODY and FIVE the SOUL.
Understanding the Feminine, Passive & Omnipresent Nature of MERCURY (☿: Spirit) when balanced & in Harmony with SULFUR’s (Soul) active masculine force, within his or her SALT (Body), he/she will become the Philosopher’s stONE, turning the Spirit-Soul-Body from Lead to Gold.
Athanasius Kircher writes: “Out of the simplest lines & figures the secret of corporeal nature emerges. Just as the Trinity of Circle (center, radius & circumference) shows the Divine Trinity, so the Divine Trinity’s creative works appear in the Trinity of the 3:4:5 Triangle."
The 47th Proposition of Euclid is known as the Mathematical Ratio1 that allows a Master Mason to: “Square his Square when it gets out of Square". It is often called the 'Carpenter’s Theorem'. The 47th Proposition is called this as it is Proposition 47 in Euclid's Book I.
Interesting that it happens to be Proposition 47?
In the New Testament, Christ performs 47 miracles.
The King James Bible is filled with Alphanumeric Riddles, the Avid Student of Gematria could argue that G-d Himself wrote that Book.

The story goes the KJV Translation work was done by a committee of 47 Scholars. (Francis Bacon is NOT on the list.)
In Hebrew Gematria, "Fool" & "Foolish" equal 47, giving the Number 47 a resonance with The Fool Card. A Wink & Nod to the "47 Scholars" who compiled the Bible.

And there is MORE!
The Masonic Compass is Set to 47° while the Square is 90°.
90+47 = 137 = Cosmic Number
137 is the Reciprocal of the Alpha Constant, known as the Fine Structure Constant. The Number that keeps Reality together on the Quantum Level.
This WILL Be IMPORTANT.

As Mentioned the 3:4:5 Egyptian Triangle was the Basis of the Egyptian Religion. The Three Sides representing Osiris, Isis & Horus.
As such many of the complicated mathematical details of the Great Pyramid were based upon now unknown applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Proportions of the King Chamber of the Great Pyramid shows the geometric formula of the Alpha Constant (137); this shows geometry holds true in the Quantum Realm. 2 times the Square of π times 2 times the square root of 5 = the square root of the Inverse Reciprocal of Alpha.
BUT who guards the Great Pyramid?
The Sphinx.
The Egyptian Sphinx is closely related to the Greek legend of Œdipus, who first solved the famous riddle propounded by the mysterious creature with the body of a winged lion and the head of a woman who guarded the way to Thebes.

To each who passed the Sphinx's Liar was the SAME riddle, "What animal is it that in the morning goes on FOUR feet, at noon on TWO feet, and in the evening on THREE feet?"
Those who failed to answer her riddle were destroyed.

Œdipus declared the answer to be MAN: who in childhood crawled upon his hands and knees, in manhood stood erect, and in old age shuffled along supporting himself by a staff. Discovering someone who correctly awnsered her riddle, the Sphinx cast herself from the cliff & perished.
Another answer to the Sphinx's Riddle is revealed by the consideration of Pythagorean Number Theory. 4, 2 & 3 equal 9, the Number which ALWAYS returns to Itself, the Number of the lower worlds. FOUR symbolizes the Ignorant Man, TWO the Intellectual Man & THREE the Spiritual Man.
Infants crawl on FOUR Limbs (Two Arms & Two Legs), evolving humanity walks on TWO legs, and to the power of his own mind the redeemed & illumined Magus, the Elder, adds the staff of wisdom (THREE: Two Legs & Cane).
The Sphinx's Riddle is the Mystery of Nature, the embodiment of the secret doctrine of the Hidden G-d, those who cannot solve her riddle perish. To pass the Sphinx is to attain personal immortality, to the form the Alchemical Philosopher's Stone, Harmony of the Dual Polarities.
To the Egyptians, the Sphinx was the symbol of strength and intelligence. It was portrayed as androgynous to signify that the Egyptians recognized the initiates and gods as partaking of both the positive and negative creative powers.
Gerald Massey writes: "This is the secret of the Sphinx. The orthodox sphinx of Egypt is masculine in front and feminine behind. So is the image of Sut-Typhon, a type of horn and tail, male in front and female behind."
W. Marsham Adams calls the Great Pyramid "the House of the Hidden Places" as it represented the Inner Sanctuary of Pre-Egyptian Wisdom. The Pyramid was associated with Thoth the Atlantean, the god of Wisdom & Letters, the Divine Illuminator worshiped through the planet Mercury.
Relating Thoth (Hermes) to the Pyramid emphasizes the fact that in reality the Great Pyramid was the Physical Manifesation of the Invisible & Supreme Deity.
The Great Pyramid was the perfect emblem of the Microcosm & Macrocosm taught of in the Atlantean Mystery Teachings.
