The Federation of Damanhur - Very Successful Sustainable Community in Italy



I traveled to Damanhur in November of 2007, to investigate an amazing community of artists and visionaries I had discovered through a book published by Alex Grey called "The Temples of Humankind" which gives a never before seen look into one of the most amazing Human artistic achievements ever created. A vast underground temple dedicated to the achievements of Humankind and the reconnection of the Earth's energy lines with those of the universe.
Before my travels I had done quite a bit of research regarding who the Damanhurians were and what to expect, however upon arriving I was to learn there is much more complexity and depth to their vision then could possibly be learn even in one short two week visit.
I invite you to explore with me the imagination, creativity and unity of Damanhur.

The great construction many have called
‘The Eighth Wonder of the World’
mag000055AEvery year thousands of people visit Damanhur to try out the social model, study the philosophy and to meditate in the Temples, that great underground construction excavated by hand into the rock by the citizens of Damanhur and which many have called the ‘Eighth wonder of the world’.
The Water Hall, the Earth Hall, the Hall of Spheres, the Hall of Mirrors, the Metal Hall, the Blue Temple and the Labyrinth: The Temples of Humankind are an underground work of art, created entirely by hand and dedicated to the divine nature of humanity. It is a great three dimensional book which recounts the history of Humankind through all the art forms, a path of re-awakening to the Divine inside and outside of ourselves.
In the Temples, every aspect has a meaning: the colours, the measurements and every detail follow a precise code of forms and proportions; every Hall has its specific resonance and its own sound.
