This image compares Egyptian architectural designs to the Cantor set, a fractal pattern. The Egyptian design is based on the symbol for biological recursion of the lotus flower. Perhaps this design influenced Cantor, who was fascinated with ancient Egypt.
I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I read this post and found out there is fractal named after a man with my last name! So I researched the fractal and think it is really cool - yay!
