"The Golden Number is not the product of mathematical imagination but the natural principle of the laws of equilibrium." From averages established from measurements of the human body, it has been proved that the navel divides the total height of the body in the proportion of Φ to 1. This formula is applied to classical Greek sculpture, and in Egypt as well, except that in Egypt the crown of the head is excluded. Let us recall, in this regard, the significance of the value Φ and the geometric structure that defines Φ. The value , or the Golden Number Φ , corresponds to the proportion C / B = B / A when C = A + B There i...
