Summary

The study reveals the underlying logic behind the geometric designs found in the Tierradentro Archaeological Park's hypogeal paintings, offering insights into one of Colombia's most significant mathematical heritage artifacts. Researchers analyzed patterns from specific hypogeal sites, including Segovia, El Duende, Alto de San Andrés, and El Aguacate, focusing on their construction logic rather than validating academic mathematical theorems. The findings highlight the sophistication of ancient design principles, particularly in how these geometric motifs were applied to walls, ceilings, pillars, niches, and columns, contributing to a deeper understanding of pre-Columbian mathematical thought.
