Ammonites in History
Inspired by History and Nature
Many cultures recognized Ammonites as symbols of life and death, infinity
to zero and the search for the Center -- the basis from which to start.
Some cultures considered the Ammonite to be protective -- giving stability
and structure to one's life.
Early civilizations recorded the spiral form of the Ammonite knowing
it had significance in the meaning of life. One can find references to
the spiral shape in Sanskrit (Chakras) and in the culture of the people
of China, Pakistan, India, Easter Island, Ireland and the Zuni, Anasazi
and Hopi tribes.
In today's culture, Ammonites symbolize growth, expansion and cosmic
energy. The spiral shape is integral for New Age concepts and ideas. The
properties of Ammonites include stimulus to architects, engineers and
those in the field of construction and building of all types of projects.
