R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887--1961) was one of the most important philosophers, mathematicians, and Egyptologists of the twentieth century. He spent 15 years at the Temple of Luxor studying its Ancient Egyptian art and architecture. He is well known for his role in outlining what is known as sacred egyptian architecture. His elucidation of the temple at Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that links the sacred science of the Ancients to its rediscovery in our own time.
