Pythagoras and his Triangle

Ancient churches used the same architectural principals - Church Morpeth NSW

The ancient Egyptian mathematicians had a deep respect and these scholars were venerated for the well known "3,4,5" configuration of Pythagoras's right-angled triangle.  Some people believe that those Egyptians were aware of these facts long before Pythagoras's time.  This is evident in all of their ancient calculations and the evidence of the Pyramid inch and its precise measurements.

"3" is a symbolic for joy, contentment, and the pleasure of being alive;

"4" is order and steady progress;

"5" is adventure and the best use of freedom. 

It has also been argued that "3" represents the triangle; "4" the square; and "5" the pentagon.  From this"3,4,5" connection the Egyptian adepts of  sacred geometry would have constructed the great pyramids and other temples from this precept .
