... its head to the highest heavens. Adam of Bremen said in the 11th century that the Saxons venerated in their Irminsul (as above) the image of "the universal column which sustains all things."16 Truncum quoque ligni non parvae magnitudinis in altum erectum sub dio locabant, patria cum lingua Irminsul appellantes, quod Latine dicitur universalis columna ... , like the Avestan haoma, although the whiteness must rather mean brightness-and as Grimm pointed out13it is a near relation of the Innensaiile, that highest universe-column sustaining all things universalis columna quasi sustinens omnia, which is so deeply rooted an idea in German antiquity. The name of the Yggdrasill Ash (Norse: askr ygg-drasils) must I think mean ...

... the term Saturnian Configuration. Besides the three planetary deities there was, at times, a mysterious structure that seemed to link them and Earth together. This was the polar column, variously referred to in myths as the axis mundi, or World Tree.

Although some elements in the lower depiction are repeated, it does not immediately seem to fit possible forms of the Saturnian configuration (other than its obvious columnar structure). But its possible importance can be inferred by the inscriptions found inside the tomb and previously, but briefly, mentioned in "Maya Cosmos," Part ...

We should also note that the rocky masses on either side of the Straits of Gibraltar are of limestone, a rock which produces no pillar or columnar formation.

The Polar Column: The problem of the polar column, or world mountain, has not yet been satisfactorily solved. Frederic Jueneman sees the column as a Rankine vortex, [112 ... states, "would certainly have been mentioned by the ancients." And it certainly would have, as it actually is. [133] Also, granted that the column's destructive force would not have encompassed Earth's entire northern hemisphere, there are enough physical indications of its annihilative power in Arctic regions.
