The Secrets of Ancient Geometry- and its Use, Volumes I & II

The Secrets of Ancient Geometry and Its Uses by Tons Brunés is one of the most important modern works on classical geometry, harmonic proportion, and the ancient mathematical systems that influenced W. D. Gann’s market methods. Spanning two extensive volumes, this work reconstructs the geometric canon preserved by the Egyptians, Greeks, medieval cathedral builders, and Renaissance mathematicians. Brunés demonstrates how they used geometry not merely for construction, but as a scientific language of order, measure, and cosmic resonance.

Volume I introduces the foundations of Euclidean construction, golden section ratios, polygon divisions, angle harmonics, and the geometric laws governing circles, arcs, and spirals. Through step-by-step compass-and-straightedge constructions, he reveals how ancient cultures encoded natural law into architecture, astronomy, and surveying.

Volume II expands this framework into applied geometry, showing its use in navigation, cartography, architecture, city planning, structural design, and symbolic ratios embedded in sacred monuments. Brunés also reveals how geometric order was seen as a bridge between astronomy, vibration, and the structure of nature — the same principles Gann referenced in his Law of Vibration and market cycle theories.

For Gann students, this two-volume work is essential:

• It provides the architectural and mathematical origins of many Gann constructions.
• It explains the canonical angles, divisions, and proportional systems that underpin Square-of-Nine, Square-of-144, hexagon charts, spiral charts, and time-price geometry.
• It shows how ancient scientists viewed geometry as a universal harmonic code, directly aligning with Gann’s belief that market movement follows natural proportion.

This is a rare and authoritative resource for traders and researchers who want to understand the deep geometric theory behind Gann’s tools.

🎓 What You’ll Learn:

• How ancient civilizations used pure geometry to measure space, time, and natural cycles.
• Compass-and-straightedge constructions for polygons, angle divisions, circles, spirals, and proportional systems.
• Golden ratio applications in architecture, astronomy, navigation, mapping, and structural design.
• The geometric laws behind canonical angles: 30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, 72°, 90°, 108°, 144° — all critical to Gann.
• How geometric proportion formed the basis of harmonic cycles, resonance, and natural vibration.
• Origins of Gann-style charts: spiral charts, cycle wheels, polygonal grids, and square-root relationships.
• How ancient geometry encodes natural growth, periodicity, and balance — the same concepts at the heart of Gann’s Law of Vibration.
• Practical applications of classical geometry in surveying, city planning, structural design, astronomy, and mapping.

By studying Brunés, readers gain the architectural blueprint behind Gann’s analytical tools — connecting ancient mathematical philosophy with modern time-price forecasting.
