In 3000 BC, the pyramids were built; in 2000, hut construction began (the age of Abraham). In 1000 BC, Solomon's temple was prepared. In 1000 AD, the new that was to come could not prevail due to the counteracting forces of Lucifer and Ahriman. We see the Normans, who spread from Scandinavia across Western and Central Europe, trying to express something in their wooden buildings that could not come to full development. Certain lines are inherent in them, but not further developed because the Ahrimanic influence prevented it. Instead, Moorish culture arose and the architecture of Cordoba and Granada, the horseshoe arch and the pointed arch, which supplanted the truly Christian round arch of Romanesque architecture. In Moorish culture, one can immediately see the anti-Christian influence in the pointed arches, which should actually have been round. This is the sign of Ahriman. Thus, Ahriman acted as the Antichrist in architecture by replacing the round Romanesque arch with the horseshoe or pointed arch. He worked through the Moors and also through the Turks; he prevented the art of the Normans from developing, whose wooden buildings, which they erected throughout Europe, could not provide what they should have been. This is why we do not find buildings from the year 1000 as we do from earlier millennia.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Development of Architecture in Connection with the Turn of the Millennium","site_heading":null,"date":"1914-03-07","location":null,"word_count":224,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/286/1914-03-07/p008","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"And The Temple Becomes Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA286/English/SOL2024/19140307p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Im Jahre 3000 v.Chr. wurden die Pyramiden gebaut, im Jahre 2000 kamen die Hüttenbauten (Abrahams Zeitalter). Im Jahre 1000 v.Chr. wurde der Tempel Salomos vorbereitet. Im Jahre 1000 n.Chr. konnte sich das Neue, das kommen sollte, nicht durchringen infolge der entgegenwirkenden Kräfte Luzifers und Ahrimans. Wir sehen die Normannen, die aus Skandinavien sich über West- und Mitteleuropa verbreiteten, wie sie in ihren Holzbauten etwas auszudrücken versuchten, was nicht zur völligen Entwickelung hat kommen können. Gewisse Linien sind darin veranlagt, aber nicht weiter ausgearbeitet, weil der ahrimanische Einfluß es verhinderte. Statt dessen Kam die Maurenkultur auf und die Architektur von Cordova und Granada, der Hufeisenbogen und der Spitzbogen, welche verdrängen den wahrhaft christlichen Rundbogen der romanischen Architektur. In der Maurenkultur kann man unmittelbar den antichristlichen Einschlag sehen in dem Spitzzulaufen der Bögen, die eigentlich hätten rund sein sollen. Das ist Ahrimans Zeichen. So wirkte Ahriman als der Antichrist in der Baukunst, indem er den runden romanischen Bogen ersetzte durch den Hufeisen- oder Spitzbogen. So wirkte er durch die Mauren und auch durch die Türken; so ließ er die Kunst der Normannen nicht zur Entwickelung kommen, deren Holzbauten, welche sie in ganz Europa errichteten, nicht dasjenige geben konnten, was sie hätten sein sollen. So kommt es, daß wir aus dem Jahre 1000 nicht die Bauwerke finden, wie aus früheren Jahrtausendwenden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/286/1914-03-07/p008"}],"english":["GA 286/1914-03-07/p008"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":227,"en_words":224,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1191,"original_word_count":1161,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"And The Temple Becomes Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA286/English/SOL2024/19140307p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
