Sardinia, the Footprint of Divinity
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the importance of Sardinia in the Swan of Europe landscape temple, and how it is part of the Europa and Bull Mystery from which Europe derives its name.
Sardinia was considered a sacred mountain prior to the last flood and the creation of the Mediterranean Sea. It was formerly joined with Corsica and mainland Europe. It is an island of beauty with 7000 ancient temples and sanctuaries. Many of the temples were built by the Nuraghe (‘the shining ones’) between 2500-3000 BC. The Nuraghe were navigators, mathematicians and astronomers.
Sardinia was called Ichnusa by the Greeks, meaning ‘footprint’, because the island is shaped like a footprint. The Greeks also called the island Argyrophleps, meaning “veins of silver”, because of its rich ancient silver mines.
Sardinia, the Silver Isle, is the twin of Corsica, the Golden Isle, whose heart mountain is Monte d’Oro, ‘Mountain of Gold’. The friendship between the two is like an amalgam of silver and gold – a golden friendship, silver-tinged.
This talk on Zoom acts as a precursor to the Shakespeare Mystery in Sardinia hybrid event, ‘Living the Beauty of Golden Friendship’. The talk can be attended by anyone interested in the subject, as well as by participants in the hybrid event.
For those who attend the talk, there will be time for questions, answers and insights after the talk. This post-talk sharing is usually full of extra information.
