Publisher's Synopsis
Recent research into the conceptual background of the Icelandic Sagas revealed a prehistoric "image of creation" marked in the land by Iceland's 9th century settlers with exquisite geometric and mathematical precision.
The principal reference points of the measure involved were the motions of the stars and the cardinal directions. In fact, mans image of creation was a projection on the terrain of the Zodiac, anchored to prominent landmarks on the ground and the sun's annual path around it. It was at once sacred and a practical sun watch. The ancient approach is a yardstick, which applies not only to the ancient sun watch in Iceland, Steinkross products establish that the like reference frame was used in antiquity in all parts of the globe. The ideas we will outline are the mature product of over 30 years of research bringing to light a "blueprint" up on which cultural areas were built. "I propose that such an image of creation initiated the famous Stoneage constructions in Europe and underlies cultivated areas of the world. Thus; Jelling, Denmark - St.Denis, France - the Vatican, Rome - Marathon, Greece - Marble Arch and The Tower of London, and Glastonbury, Avebury and Stonehenge in Somerset, and last but not least, BergÞórshvoll Iceland, are rooted on a grid, suggesting their location is according to a measured plan that predates them".
