5 Platonic solids

The 5 geometric shapes that everything in the universe and nature are made up of. All of the ancient monuments on Mars and the Moon show evidence that this knowledge is universal. These are 3-dimensional shapes with identical geometric angles. Platonic Solids form part of Sacred Geometry. They were first catalogued by the ancient philosopher, Plato (hence their name), although evidence of these most magical of shapes has been found around the world for in excess of 1000 years prior to Plato's documentation. The first four shapes correspond with the elements: earth (hexahedron), air (octahedron), fire (tetrahedron) and water (icosahedron), with the fifth, dodecahedron, representing heaven or the Universe. All of the above shapes occur naturally within the crystal world.
