pon a plain where his monument vulgarly called
'citscotehouse,' consisted of four stones pitched in the manner of
the stonehenge." It is tempting to see in the four stones "pitched"
around the grave, the underlying thought of a resting-place in the
cosmical centre, of the symbolized four quarters, and to view the
prehistoric crosses of Ireland and Scotland as emblematic of the
Middle and Four Quarters, associated with secret pole-star and
cosmical cult and employed as symbols of time and of quadruplicate
government.

134 Light is thrown upon the possible conception of Ursa Major as Thor's
wagon and the most primitive form of chariots in general by the
archaic chariot of state used, to this day, in Corea and formerly in
Japan. It is one-wheeled and the seat, destined for one person, is

to support and push this chariot of state, a fine example of which

honor of having highly-esteemed, personal friends, how far their
observation and deeper knowledge lead them to entertain views I have
advanced concerning the origin of the swastika and the influence of
pole-star worship upon the development of primitive religion and
social organization. It is from them that I expect information as to
the relation of the prehistoric inhabitants of Scandinavia to the
ancient centres of civilization which have been discussed.

136 Hewitt states (p. 90) that, "it was successively immigrating races
from the North ... who placed a king at the head of the confederated
provinces formed from their confederated villages.... The
confederate form of these kingdoms is shown in such names as
Chuttisgurh which means the 36 gurhs or united provinces. But the
final consolidated form of the pre-Aryan Indian village was that
framed by the Kushites. It was they who placed the royal province in
the centre of the kingdom.... It was on these prin
