Voyage to Inception: A brief journey through the history of the umbilical architecture

Abstract

A brief tour is proposed about the evolution of the concept of navel of the world, Navel of the world as the center of the universe and as a origin of our existence. The history of the navel of the world has been tied to a protective architecture that housed it until the existential paradigm of our universe has changed the boundaries and the idea of the origin and our destiny. We start the journey by Hermes hand to the Delphic Omphalos and from the oracle of Apollo we pass the Capitoline temple of Jupiter, St. Sophia, the Kaaba in Mecca, the Jewish Tabernacle and the Temple of Solomon, the Christian Golgotha, the Black Hills of South Dakota and the temple of Indra to reach Taliesin, the Guggenheim and the space station Endurance and back to Stonehenge. Calendar, transit station temple, cemetery or strength. Built by Titans, Atlanteans or simple mortals like us with a unitary consciousness on the planet that allowed them to commune with the universe with the mere contemplation of a sunrise.
