		One gift of the Buried Treasure is the revelation that war is not inherent in human nature and that people were able to thrive for thousands of years without it.
		The composite feminine principle the emerges from the Buried Treasure embraces astronomy and the rhythms of the stars as well as the earth and its agricultural seasons.
		Thus, another meaning of the Buried Treasure is that often it literally lies buried beneath some of the most important monuments of the later classical and Christian cultures, just as in the metaphor of the mind, it lies buried beneath the patriarchal cultural superstructure under which we currently live.

		We find a strong resemblance between the form of arch used in the architecture of Central America and that of the oldest buildings of Greece.
		It was the custom of these ancient architects to fill in the arch itself with masonry, as shown in the picture on page 355 of the Arch of Las Monjas, Palenque.
		If now we took at the representation of the "Treasure-house of Atreus" at Mycenæ, on page 354--one of the oldest structures in Greece--we find precisely the same form of arch, filled in in the same way.
