Metatron's cube and the Archimedean polyhedra
Metatron’s Cube is a complex structure of Sacred Geometry, derived from the structure of the Flower of Life. It is named after Archangel Metatron. The Metatron symbol appears in Jewish, Islamic and Christian tradition. This symbol is considered responsible for all creation and is considered an Archangel as well as a judge.
This work shows Archimedean polyhedra inscribed or circumscribed in the symbol of Metatron’s cube, with views that can be accessed with Augmented Reality resources and also in immersive Virtual Reality rooms.

3D models
1. Cuboctahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A cuboctahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
2. Icosidodecahedron
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. An icosidodecahedron can be circumscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
3. Rhombicuboctahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A rhombicuboctahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
4. Snub Cube
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A snub cube can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
5. Truncated Cube
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. A truncated cube can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
6. Truncated Cuboctahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A truncated cuboctahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
7. Truncated Dodecahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A truncated dodecahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
8. Truncated Icosahedron
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. A truncated icosahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
9. Truncated Octahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A truncated octahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
10. Truncated Tetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A truncated tetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
11. Truncated Stellated Tetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A truncated stellated tetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
