Place of Assembly
for the Priests
An ancient public notice engraved in
12-in Tifinag letters at the northeastern extremity
of
the Peterborough, Ontario site, probably the original point of entry. The letters are
consonants only, yet their concatenation is an
astonishing repetition of the technical legal
terms
known to have been used in Iceland in Viking times, ca. 2,000 years after King
Woden-
lithi. In Iceland, also, in pagan times there was
an annual assembly of the priests. it
was called
Samthingis-Godhar. In Woden-lithi's
dialect the ancient Nordic speech there was more aspiration:
g was
gh, and ng was gn. d
was apparently always pronounced as dh
= the sound of "th" in the
English
word "this."
Both in ancient Iceland and
Scandinavia, there was an annual meeting of the pagan priests
at
which the laws were declaimed by a law-speaker. The place at which this ceremony was held
was
called the Lög-Berg, or Hill of the Law. At Peterborough in America, the site
selected was
a
flat rock platform. The ancient Norse
word hella means a flat rock. Therefore, evidently the
ancient
name of the Peterborough site was Lögh-Hella, which could be pronounced in English
today
roughly as if it were spelled "Lurg-hella."
