on Ægissíða (south side of iceland) again contemplating Icelands ancient habitants

Just now I came from a trip visiting Ægissíða or Aigissitha, located close to a small town called Hella. This place is many miles inland from the south-cost, but bye roud nr. 1, the circle roud around Iceland. And the names suggest many things, both Hella and Ægissíða (pronounced Aigissitha) Hella is a huge flat stone or it could also meen Hel or a variation of Hel, like the German goddess Hella. Hel has beside hell a connection to words like holy, healing, Health and Helgi and Helga, all very positive clustering words. And Hel is also a symbol for wholeness and is a word discribing the ancient elf-stile comunity and the fairy-queens of the time before the vikings and the farmers and ownership of land etc. Hel is the mother of the cristmassmen or Jólasveinar. Ægir is the sea king... the same as Jupiter and Neptune... big beard and long hair and naked sitting on a rock bye the seaside etc. And Ægis-síða is then a the sea kings side or plainly the seaside, the cost.

Now I asked on the farm-house Ægissíða how high the farm is above the sea-lewel. And one of the farmers there (Guðmundur on Ægissiða III) said that he thinks it might be 35 or perhaps 40 meters over the sealevel now. He also told us that there are 12 man-made caves there, some recently found, some have been known for centuries. One was for example found while building a foundation for a house (Búrhellir). And more caves are ocationally fund there. The biggest is called Fjóshellir, and that one has a roman formed altar in it with a celtic stile cross formed into the sandstone. That cave i will make photos of pritty soon. (It was to dark yesterday and I didnt have any lamp, so no photo was made)

But all this I have been saying is for to prepare you the reader for my estimated date of these man made caves being made originally. I presume this name Ægissíða has to do with, this place having been located bye the sea side and the name being then as old as the place being bye the sea-side. On the grounds that Iceland is supposed to have been rising for 60 meters the last 12000 years and if Ægissíða is 35 or 40 meters over the sea now, it would be around 7-8000 years since this place was close to the seaside, or 5-6000 years b.c. Iceland is rising because its less heavy after the ice-cape of Búthajökull whent of it 12000 years ago... Before the melting of the ice from both poles the seaside was far out... the sea level was 200 meters lower than, with the whole country almost double the sise, before 12000 years ago. But 200 meter sea level down minus 60 meters the rising land is 140. So 140 down is the old Hel elf stile land. The Ruins of ancient Atlantis.

The question weather the caves where built at the same time as the names where given I answere yes Ægir has the image of ancient Iceland... the bathing people, living on sea food and going for a hot pool in between like Leirgelmir (singing in clay) and Bergelmir (singing naked) I have talked about and Ægir is a similar tipe of being ecoing in Jupiter and Saturn and Posedon, olso representing the root-culture. All sea kings... naked and strong and with terrible temper like the sea. And Hel and Hella fits totally here two. So we can established a connectin between the ancient domelike underground dwellings and the names. Here we can also remember the story of the antpeople living far north on an Island from the Hopi Indians. They lived underground and collected the food there and didnt go out fore a long time when the 2. world was destroyed and the 3. created. Feels like they are talking about a culture living in houses much like on Ægissíða.

Well after these calculations and estimates, we can at least start to look at Ægissíðu bye Hella, as a real interesting site, perhaps the most ancient dwellings of humans, with a lot of information on how elfs lived there 5000 b.c.

And now we might want to remember again this bakery house that was found on the Seatlands Islands dated 2700 years back and ancient temples og Ireland and south of England who are dated many thousands of years back. Also we should try to realize thant people used to go over the ice in the icetime as seen from the many similarities of the old Kota in Scandinavia and TP in Canada and throut singing both sides of the sea beside all other similarities in shamanism and divination. This was called the back door bye the Hopi Indians... north and over Ice and to the homeland. So now we are starting to see some of our history through all this gray matter in the brain. We see vaigly, like in a for, but we see something. Not any more just nothing like we have been trained to see nothing there where there is actually a lot to see. First we need to see something, then we can start to explore this something we now see. There is arciology, there is languich and there are names of places and all this give us something to chew on on look at. Then there are stories. Then the political situation. Who is in a need for a lye and way. How is this lye repeted in different cultures and how is it different... is there truth inside the lye?
How can we distinguish and seperate them from each other, the truth and the lye?

At least I can say, I have a name there inland from a place 40 meters from the sealevel suggesting it is a seaside. And There is Hel-vibration there also in the name. Both very ancient ones. Just there are found only made bye underground caves with airtunnels from deep below.... just like in the story of Gilitrutt, the old woman there lives in a Kot or Kota, a circular turfhouse with an opening at the top for the smoke to get out.

All this logic comes from comparing names and propabilities.
Pure logic of languich and geology come togeather. And tell their tale.

Einar Benediktsson the poet and the seer who originally brought us the knowlege of all this "powers" we have in the waterfalls was convinced this was a dwelling of ancient people living on iceland long before the viking invation and their power plot of pretending almost nobody was here. Kjarval our best painter was there too, believing the same, it where ancient dwellings. But they thought they where irish as the cross suggests. But I am convinced they where Icelandic and had been living there in Icetime also.
But those into the orthodox lyes like to see these caves as something farmers made in the 17. and 18. century when no wood was brought to iceland as the nation was so poor and depressed. For me, that theory is made bye the blind lye protectors. In the 18 century Icelanders where so depressed and lame they could not do anything at all, specially nothing original and hard. They didnt walk over the middle of the country for more than 100 years do to fear with outlows. They where less than 10.000, some say 6000 and mostly living bye Breiðafjörður. Those few alife where sick and week. They where truly asleep then after all the vise people had been burned and killed out they didnt know anymore how to find food or heal from sicknesses. Should someone then make a new arkitecture only on one or two farm? and then make so many caves he forgot them afterwards? Way should a farmer make altars and a celtic stile cross in a hai cave or a cow cave? Way do they find these caves nowadays and only know some of them. Way are they still finding these caves. How many are still there? If we could find one more and use dating tecknics and see how it is when nobody has tuched it we can hopefully date them more accurately and find some more clues. Domeshapes, with loong circlular air tunnels, the caves give us insight into ancient Icelandic history... from the days after the "flood"... 12000 years ago.
