Ivar Nielsen is a Danish independent researcher and writer on mythology, rock art and cosmology, based on the Baltic island of Bornholm, Denmark. He is the author of the website Native Science, on which he compares global rock art, ancient symbols and creation stories with modern astronomy and cosmology.
Biography
Nielsen was born near Rønne on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, Denmark, close to an ancient site of sun worship. He later settled in northern Bornholm, near Madsebakke, the site of the largest Stone Age and Bronze Age rock carving field in Denmark.
He has described a series of dreams and visions beginning in 1974 and continuing over some twelve years, which he characterises as mythological in content and which led him to a lifelong interest in ancient cultures and their spiritual practices. According to his own account, an early vision involving a Bronze Age rock carving ship prompted his study of prehistoric imagery.
Work
Nielsen's work is centred on the claim that the creation myths of many cultures describe not the origin of the entire Universe but the formation of the Milky Way galaxy. He argues that ancient myths record the pre-conditions and the actual creation of the Milky Way, and that ancestral traditions also referred to other galaxies as "islands floating or sailing in the cosmic ocean". On this basis he compares mythological motifs — particularly Milky Way symbolism, sun wheels and polar imagery — with modern accounts drawn from astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.
Through the Native Science website he seeks to reconnect what he regards as artificially separated modern disciplines — among them archaeoastronomy, astronomy, cosmology, mythology, psychology and religion — into a single field of ancient knowledge. He has also written critically on standard cosmological and gravitational theory, including papers questioning dark matter and Newtonian gravitation, and his writing is associated with alternative-cosmology and Electric Universe discussion circles.
Selected papers
Nielsen has deposited a number of papers on the viXra preprint archive, including:
- New Solar and Galaxy Formation Knowledge (2011)
- The Milky Way Mythology and the Stories of Creation (2011)
- The Insoluble and Illogical Dark Matter Paradox (2014)
- Astronomical and Mythical Comparisons of the Creation (2016)
- Circular Galactic Formation (2016)
- The Key Basics of Mythical and Cosmological Understanding (2022)
- The Sun Wheel is a Polar Wheel (2022)
