Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs received
a Master’s Degree in Comparative and Historical
Linguistics at Leiden University, The Netherlands
(1999), specialising in the Indo-European and
Semitic language families. Since then, he has
combined extensive travels around the world with
an intensive study of comparative mythology, archaeoastronomy
and the history of astronomy.
While publishing articles on these subjects in
academic journals, he is currently preparing a
comprehensive textbook of worldwide traditions
concerning the axis mundi and its possible
origins in historical fluctuations of the earth’s
electromagnetic environment. Another monograph,
approaching completion, examines the widespread
symbol of the ourobóros or ‘tail-biting
dragon’ in the light of electromagnetic disturbances
of the geomagnetic field.
