Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs is an independent
researcher and writer, and a Consulting Scholar
at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology, Philadelphia. He 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, cultural
astronomy, archaeoastronomy and the history of
astronomy, religions and art.
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 forthcoming
monograph examines the widespread symbol of the
ourobóros or ‘tail-biting dragon’
in the light of electromagnetic disturbances of
the geomagnetic field.
