Golden Triangle - Initial connection between the Golden Ratio and the Holy Land



The Human form of the Holy Land is personification which nature has created.

It invites to try and connect it with the precise scientific measurements of the Golden Ratio.

The form is without limbs, and the sizes and distances of its organs are different than in the human body, to one degree or another.

Therefore any attempt to apply the conventional divisions in the human body according to the Golden Ratio is impossible.


One possible way to try and bridge, however, between the natural human appearance and the scientific instrument is to use the Golden Triangle.

This classic expression of the Golden Ratio is known generally as a prism used for observing reality.

Golden Triangle appears in many known works of art.

The Golden Triangle is created via two lines that the ratio between them is the Golden Ratio.

It is an equilateral triangle with interesting features.

This triangle top angle is 36 degrees. The base angles are 72 degrees each.

Five combined Golden Triangles form the Golden Star, which symbolizes good fortune in many cultures.


The inverted triangle shape of Sinai peninsula - torso of human form of the Holy Land, invites the testing of correlation between this region and the Golden Triangle.

The top of the inverted triangle of Sinai Peninsula is facing exactly to the south.

The Continuation of the right side of this triangle is a straight line up to the Arava Valley and the Dead Sea.

The Angle formed between this line and the North-South line which touch the southern top of Sinai Peninsula is a 18-degree angle, the half top angle of the Golden Triangle.
