Sinopsis

"Sky Towers" explores the captivating history and cultural impact of towering architectural marvels designed to connect humanity with the divine. From the Tower of Babel to Mayan temples, the book examines how these structures reflect a deep-seated desire to transcend earthly limitations. Interestingly, the construction of these "sky towers" often mirrored the social systems, resources, and spiritual beliefs of their respective cultures. The book traces the evolution of these structures across diverse civilizations, providing a comprehensive view of architectural design through history.

 
Part one introduces the concept, while subsequent parts delve into specific examples like Egyptian pyramids and Gothic cathedrals, each chapter dedicated to a specific type of tower. "Sky Towers" synthesizes these case studies to reveal common themes and motivations, emphasizing the symbolic ascension to a higher plane.

 
By blending archaeological findings, historical texts, and architectural analysis, "Sky Towers" offers a unique lens through which to view the enduring power of religious and spiritual aspirations. This approach provides insights into ancient cosmologies and the development of construction technologies, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, history, and comparative religion.

    The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked them how they dared so roundly to assert that God spoke to them; and whether they did not think at the time that they would be misunderstood, and so be the cause of imposition. 
    Isaiah answer'd: `I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception; but my senses discover'd the infinite in everything, and as I was then persuaded, and remain confirm'd, that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for consequences, but wrote.' 
    Then I asked: `Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?' 
    He replied: `All Poets believe that it does, and in ages of imagination this firm persuasion removed mountains; but many are not capable of a firm persuasion of anything.'
