A day for a thousand years: In search of the cycles of humanity

A day for a thousand years
How can we explain the immense gap between the 300,000 years of biological existence of Homo sapiens and the apparent brevity of our historical memory?
In this captivating essay, Dominique Daniel Bruch shakes up the illusion of a linear progression to reveal a cyclical structure of humanity: 7,000-year ＂cycles of viability＂.
At the intersection of demographic models, materials physics, and ancient traditions (from the Torah to the stories of Sumer), the author explores the ＂hinges of time＂ when our civilizations reach their systemic saturation.
From the pyramids of Giza to the alignments of Carnac, he deciphers stone and sky as the ultimate strategies of transmission in the face of memory erasure.
At a time when our dematerialized knowledge is based on radically fragile digital media, this book asks a vital question: what traces will we leave beyond our own cycle?
A powerful intellectual journey to the frontiers of science and symbolism, to rediscover humanity at the scale of its limits.
