Delphi bears the title "the navel of the world". An astronomical phenomenon associated with the golden ratio of 1.618 occurs in this geographical area. As we have seen above, the golden ratio is found everywhere in the universe. In the way flowers bloom, in the physical structure of humans as well as in their mental process, the reproduction of bees... The ancient world was aware of this phenomenon and used it in the architectural design of temples, buildings and statues. On the human body, the golden ratio is located exactly where the navel is. So what is the correspondence with Delphi?
On the summer solstice, June 21, the day at Delphi is exactly 14 hours and 50 minutes long.
The night lasts 9 hours and 10 minutes. So:
14 50' / 9 10' =
14 (5/6) / 9 (1/6) = 1.618!
Also, Apollo and Artemis in ancient Greek Numerology (or Arithmosophy):
ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ = 1061
ΑΡΤΕΜΙΣ = 656
Apollo / Artemis = 1061 / 656 = 1,618!
Apollo is the Sun, the day...
Artemis is the Moon, the night...
So June 21 is the day of the golden ratio between day and night!
