Does anyone know the music which starts at 4:40? It's very similar to A Canterbury Tale by Dreadzone

What really gets me is that (and maybe I am speculating or imagining or whatever) is that it shows a primeval expression of geometry (hence a mathematic) being expressed. A sort of drawing board that would later be built upon. With that, it's not merely simple thought but a higher form of thought, exploration, logic, and experimentation of sorts being practiced. Like a first blueprint for what we have advanced to a great degree over the ages.
