How does one understand what the ancients knew? Besides just making it up, I mean. Besides just assuming stuff?
No reason. The Greeks were certainly aware of them before Plato talked about them. But except for the mathematical curiosity that there are only 5 such possible solids, what's the big deal?
Why wouldn't the Ancients before Plato know of platonic solids?

The "making stuff up" part comes from inventing significance that isn't necessarily there.
You've posted some of your research.
Are you implying I am making this up as I go along? That I haven't done the research?
Yeah. Well, if you look hard enough you can find just about anything. People are good at finding patterns. Also good at thinking they have found something significant when all they have really done is performed an interesting experiment in the psychology of perception (or apophenia, perhaps).
That I do not keep finding the same patterns over and over? Because I do.

So...much...new age...bullcrap...
Not a single thing attributed to the ancient Egyptians here holds any water. Try spending less time watching ignorant nutjobs on YouTube, and more time reading basic Egyptology books.
Does one not see:
The snail without a shell (sacred geometry). The doughnut (torus) . The fire. The Golden ratio. The Flower of Life petal?
Interesting.
The musical instruments represent: The frequency, the vibration, the energy needed to create matter. To create universe.
It is all there.

Far from it. It is much better to use ones brain and understand what the Ancients knew. Then apply.

It's certainly much easier than studying.

There are many many more examples.
Listen to Robert Shoch and Randall Carlson and a lot of these guys they are onto something.
Don't trust anything that's mainstream.
