Hammer of Thor (monument) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hammer of Thor (monument)
The Hammer of Thor is a tall, t-shaped, man-made rock formation, located along the Arnaud River in the Ungava Peninsula, Quebec, Canada. It was discovered in 1964 by an archaeologist who thought it was erected by Vikings. He named it "The Hammer of Thor", in reference to the hammer-wielding Thor of Norse culture. Today some scholars believe that it is more likely to be an artifact of Inuit culture, an inuksuk or stone landmark. ==Description== The Hammer of Thor consists of three rocks stacked on top of each other—a vertical shaft, a cross piece, and a capstone. The vertical column, or shaft, measures about tall; the cross piece is about long; and the capstone is in height.〔 The entire monument stands about high;〔de Figueiredo 2005: p. 136.〕 and has been estimated to weigh about .〔Colombo 1988: pp. 117–118.〕 It is located on the northern bank of the Arnaud River (formerly known as Payne River), about above Payne Bay, near the western coast of Ungava Bay, in the Ungava Peninsula, Quebec, Canada.〔〔Lester Kovac/Lynette Chubb: (Vachon River 2010 )〕
