PéturHalldórsson baseshisresearchonthework of theIcelandic scholar
Einar Pálsson,who discovered this ancient structure of thought.
The principal reference points of the measure involved were the
motions of the celestialbodiesand the cardinal directions. In fact the
cosmogram wasa projection of the Zodiac, anchored to prominent
landmarks on the ground and the Sun’sannual path around it. It was
at oncesacredand apractical sun watch. Theancient approach is akin
to a yardstick, which appliesnot only to the ancient sun watch in Iceland,
recent researchestablishesthat the like referenceframe wasused
in antiquity in all partsof theglobe.“I proposethat suchacosmogram
initiated the famousStoneageconstructions in Europe and underlies
cultivated areasoftheworld. Thus;Jelling,Denmark - St.Denis,France
- the Vatican, Rome- Marathon, Greece- Marble Arch, TheTower of
London, andGlastonbury, Avebury, andStonehengein Somerset,and
last but not least,Bergþórshvoll, Iceland, arerooted on agrid, suggesting
their location is according to ameasuredplanthat predatesthem”.
