Piero della Francesca and the Baptism of the New World

En savoir plus sur le livre

Piero della Francesca and the Baptism of the New World reveals that heliocentrism, the modern planetary system, and the existence of the American continent are referenced in Piero's work. As a new age dawned for humankind, these revolutionary ideas were suspected before their official discoveries and were kept secret due to their contradiction to Church dogma and the powerful. Even as late as the 17th century, Galileo faced imprisonment for his heliocentric beliefs. Professor Sandra Marraghini's insights trace the path Piero della Francesca began 600 years ago, aiming to share his knowledge with those capable of passing it on. Through the study of symbols, syllogisms, and characters, along with the analysis of geometrical and mathematical balance and starry skies, the key to Piero's hidden messages is uncovered. The author's research raises questions about historical facts, particularly regarding the discovery of America. By examining the writings of Piero's disciple, mathematician Luca Pacioli, Marraghini suggests that Piero's death coinciding with the discovery of America on October 12, 1492, is likely a fabrication. This altered date may have been a deliberate attempt by contemporaries to obscure the truth that Piero knew the route to America well before Columbus's voyages.
