Nautilus shells were popular items in the Renaissance cabinet of curiosities and were often mounted by goldsmiths on a thin stem to make extravagant nautilus shell cups, such as the Burghley Nef, mainly intended as decorations rather than for use. Small natural history collections were common in mid-19th-century Victorian homes, and chambered nautilus shells were popular decorations.
The chambered nautilus is the title and subject of a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, in which he admires the "ship of pearl" and the "silent toil/That spread his lustrous coil/Still, as the spiral grew/He left the past year's dwelling for the new." He finds in the mysterious life and death of the nautilus strong inspiration for his own life and spiritual growth. He concludes:
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!
The chambered nautilus is often used as an example of the golden spiral. While nautiluses show logarithmic spirals, their ratios range from about 1.24 to 1.43, with an average ratio of about 1.33 to 1. The golden spiral's ratio is 1.618. This is actually visible when the cut nautilus is inspected.
A nautilus shell was used to fashion this drinking cup depicting Atlas, a legendary titan of Greco-Roman mythology.[6]
EVERT COLLIER (BREDA C.1640-AFTER 1706 LONDON)

The etymology of the name Atlas is uncertain and still debated. Virgil took pleasure in translating etymologies of Greek names by combining them with adjectives that explained them: for Atlas his adjective is durus, "hard, enduring",[6] which suggested to George Doig[7] that Virgil was aware of the Greek τλήναι "to endure"; Doig offers the further possibility that Virgil was aware of Strabo's remark that the native North African name for this mountain was Douris. Since the Atlas mountains rise in the region inhabited by Berbers, it has been suggested that the name might be taken from one of the Berber languages, specifically adrar, Berber for "mountain".[8]
Some modern linguists derive it and its Greek root from the Proto-Indo-European root *tel, 'to uphold, support'; others[citation needed] suggest that it is an Indo-European name. Others hold it is non-Indo-European, or Pre-Greek in origin, associated with the word "thalassa", meaning "sea"[citation needed].
Like the modern Galápagos tortoise, C. atlas's weight was supported by four elephantine feet.
Janus the two faced is actually the Triple God/Goddess-Trinity because the "hidden head" is the combination of both into one

One more thing to add;
Why do we SEEK in the first place? Why are we students and not masters to begin with, if our Soul is al knowing? Why do we have no memory of anything, upon birth or reincarnation?
Because we INTERNALLY KNOW TO FIND OUR WAY BACK.
The controllers understand how to trap human minds, andc thus crumbling the indiviudal seeker's BRIDGE to their soul/spirit - which is THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS 'DOWN HERE'.
As I said in the beggining; what is more valuable then diamonds, gold and all the riches... YOUR SOUL. Because when the REAL vampires (the bloodsucker vampires are only a metaphor to the spiritual conscniousness that leech your spiritual force) learned how to suck off your energy and live off it, they created a planet prison for your soul to be trapped and drained.
PLANET = PLANNED-NET = to CATCH SOULS.
Saturn, the lord of the rings, the king of time... The one that creates the illusions in this solar system, the one that causes the trapped souls to run on the WHEEL of KARMA. Meaning to NEVER get passsed the illusion of this reality. MEANING - when you die, you will see your light, and be TRICKED, then sent back to Earth with NO memories of the life you just lived.
The truth is to big for you, especially if you are not connected to your SPIRITUAL FORCE. You can learn all the knowledge you want - its no good unless you take it into practise. Its no good if you do not understand its TRUE meanings, which are the design and capabilities of the HUMAN.
The only thing you need to seek is INSIDE. That is what YOU are. That is the SELF (YOU) that is experiencing what is going on outside of YOU, via 5 sense (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, nerves). Everything is about YOU. Everything is about the HUMAN being.
Everything EXTERNALLY is about TRAPPING anyone who seeks to understand thy self.
