Tetractys - ten symbolic dots

 Pythagoras proposed this idea, claiming that our Solar System contains 10 bodies. Only seven such bodies were known to the ancients, but contemporary astronomers have found the other three: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are Pythagoras' emblem was made up of 10 dots placed in a triangle pattern, as seen. Many rectangles and triangles were produced by joining the dots in various ways, all of which are intimately related with the Pythagorean mathematical system, through which he describes his notion of the realities of the cosmos. This might explain why the pyramid's top is absent in the United States' great seal, which is printed on certain paper money.
