Egypt
In his chief work, The Temple In Man (1949), he proposes, and argues in great detail, for an interpretation of the Egyptian outlook rooted in numerology and sacred geometry; in several of his other works, he makes a corresponding case for the metaphysical richness of various mathematical concepts. As with much ancient mathematics, the Egyptian research of Schwaller de Lubicz became quite complex. The complexity of his various ancient mathematical concepts as covered in his book provided an ongoing source of debate amongst mystics.
His elucidation of the Temple of Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that attempts to link the sacred science of the Ancients, to its modern rediscovery in our own time.
