This trip will retrace the steps of ancient knowledge from Pythagoras, Archimedes, Sophocles, Plato, Aeschylus, Pericles, Praxiteles, Euripides, Sappho, Aristotle, et al. who inherited the occult wisdom of earlier Egyptian and Babylonian sages. From classical and Hellenistic Greece through the preservation of this knowledge in medieval monasteries and cathedral schools after the fall of the Roman Empire (and concurrently in the great mosques, palaces and houses of scholarship of Islamic Baghdad and southern Spain) to its celebrated rediscovery, known as the Renaissance, and the dissemination of a new Humanistic philosophy via the house of Medici and the Florentine Academy, students will be challenged to understand "The Golden Matrix"--a tradition of knowledge expressed through symbols, myth, philosophy and theology passed through generations of civilization.
