Overview

Research into the conceptual background of Icelandic myth revealed a prehistoric cosmology marked in the land by Iceland's 9th century settlers with exquisite geometric and mathematical precision. My research is based on the work of the Icelandic scholar, Einar Palsson, who discovered this ancient structure of thought. It may reconstruct the entire human environment as a work of art and change the way you see history. The principal reference points of the measure involved were the motions of the stars, the sun and the cardinal directions. In fact, the measured cosmology (Cosmic image) was a projection on the terrain of the zodiac, anchored to prominent landmarks and the sun's annual path around it. The Cosmic image was at once sacred and a practical sun watch. The ancient approach is akin to a yardstick, which applies not only to the ancient sun watch in Iceland, my book establishes that same reference frame was used in antiquity in all parts of the globe. The ideas outlined in my books bring to light a blueprint up on which cultural areas were built. I propose that such Cosmic image initiated the famous Stoneage constructions in Europe and underlies most, if not all, cultivated areas of the world: Memphis Egypt; Marathon Greece; The Vatican Rome; Jelling Denmark; St.Denis France; The Tower of London, Glastonbury, Avebury and Stonehenge in Somerset; and last but not least, BergTHorshvoll Iceland, are rooted on a grid, suggesting their location is according to a measured plan that predates them.
