Just posted a video supplement to my 2020 Bridges Paper “Labyrinths Mysteries and Methods,” on my youtube channel rogerburrowsimages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5td10JrcrU. The link to the paper is http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/202… The paper and the supplement present five methods for constructing labyrinths that can be used to create ancient labyrinths or used to create new ones as far as […]

“3D Thinking” Page 32 Neolithic Geometries: Labyrinths are constructed with a single path that winds forwards and backwards, multiple times, before arriving at a central point. The oldest surviving labyrinths appear as Neolithic and Bronze Age rock carvings – a petroglyph labyrinth in Usgalimol, India has been estimated to be 10,000 years old. By the time of the middle ages labyrinths […]
