Petur Halldorsson - Hour 2 - The Measure of the Cosmos
June 30, 2012
In the second hour with Petur Halldorsson we begin discussing the Devil's Bed and Bolster in England, and how it aligns with Burrows Mump, Stonehenge and Avebury. We move on to looking closer at this same image of creation in Denmark, France and Italy. Later we discuss the destruction of this knowledge as Christianity spread further North in Europe. Yet they placed their cloisters, monasteries and churches on the exact same spots as the ancient monuments and landmarks tied to the original image of creation, so it still can be recognized today. Petur tells us about the cube of Rome. A part of the ancient measuring system used natural reference points, such as the 72 "normal" number of heart beats per minute. Today we still use feet, but back then, also hands and thumbs was used to measure.
