Rigden: Rhombus form is often found in the most ancient crafts. It was called the
symbol of the unity of Heaven and Earth, was linked to lily, lotus ...
Anastasia: Here, even if we follow up the etymology of the word "rhombus", we can
reveal interesting facts. This word is derived from the Greek «rombos», meaning
"spinning top, magic wheel, tambourine." In this regard, enough to remember the
important symbolic role in the magical action played tambourine for example for
shamans. And usually the tambourine was painted all the same basic symbols and signs.
Rigden: Absolutely. By the way, it was believed that the shaman by one hand pulls out
the sacred Sound, while by the other hand holding for the crossbar of tambourine, which
usually took the form of diagonal or equilateral cross. Because according to the
symbolism of the intersection of the circle and the cross just creates eight sides
(octagon). White Siberian shamans were believed, the "sacred knowledge", that if set in
motion a square, then there are signs of the four elements, then they can become a sign
of eternity (circle) ... And in the West the same process in the ancient Greek's
philosophy called - the quintessence (from the Latin «quinta essentia» - «fifth essence",
"aspect"), the theory of the fifth element.
Anastasia: It is true and it is called "the primary ether" and "divine" and "eternal" and
"mountain" (heavenly being in the sky). By Aristotle is generally defined the
quintessence as the superfine element, the basic essence, hypostasis of all the
superlunary world by contrast with four elements of sublunary world, which are subject
to cyclical interconversion ("appearance and destruction"). It's so simple! It turns out
that everyone is talking about the same, only with different words.
Rigden: Of course, nothing complicated, if you know! When you reach understanding,
everything becomes simple. And what about shamans, you're absolutely right notice, at
those times these knowledge and the form of its transfer were naturally for different
peoples. But earlier of these basic knowledge was in charge most of human society, and
people do not need further explanation, even if they lived in different parts of the planet.
So here, a statue in the form of a cube symbolized the win of spiritual nature of human
