The measure of the Cosmos - deciphering the imagery of Icelandic myth

Author: Pétur Halldórsson

Measure of the cosmos explains how men in antiquity marked an image of creation in the terrain of new settlements. The book is based on Einar Pálssons hypotheses concerning the use by ancient cultural communities of numerology and symbolism to calculate the placement of their sacred images of creation. The ancient approach is akin to a yardstick, which applies not only to the ancient sun watch discovered by Einar Pálsson in Iceland, for Pétur Halldórssons research has established that the like refrence frame was used to antiquity in all parts of the globe.
