Classical Doric Column

The Doric Column, a symbol of divine perfection and functionality, remains unmatched by modern or ancient civilizations in terms of harmony and proportions. Originating around 900 BCE, this architecture is often mistaken as Greek but actually originates from the Dorians – non-Hellenic barbarians who took back their Pelasgic lands. The true roots lie in Egypt, with the Hellenic Empire established in Crete by King Minos of Egyptian descent. The Athenian Attic Greek language also has Phoenician and Hebrew influences. The Doric architecture is considered indigenous to Europe, believed to be a divine gift from the gods. Its simplicity conceals complex proportions that follow nature's patterns – gradually narrowing like a growing tree, reflecting divine symmetry. This design appeals to the subconscious mind and connects with the divine order of things. Functionality is another key aspect. The column's design provides a stronger structure, able to support more weight while using less material for taller constructions. Further innovation includes columns that twist and bend in classical temples, correcting flaws in human vision and distributing forces evenly throughout the structure. Truly, this architecture is a masterpiece created by the gods themselves.
