THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION TIMELINE 3500BC Ancient Egyptians used Sacred Geometry to describe the process of creation in their religious system. Egyptians used anthropomorphization (or mythology) to describe these sorts of phenomena. 500 BC The ancient study of the movement of the stars, known as “Astrology” was an early predecessor to modern Astronomy.
