flateyjarbok and the vr movie “the first king” deposited in infinity-vault in Svalbard’s permafrost

Flateyjarbok has been on the move for over 600 years. When the international edition is completed in 2023, Icelandic Bishop Brynjolf Sveinsson’s vision of translating Flateyjarbok into an international language will be brought to reality. A step on the way to fulfilling the far-sighted Icelandic bishop’s vision of preserving Flateyjarbok for future generations, was depositing a unique time capsule in the Arctic World Archive in Svalbard, which labors to preserve global digital memory for posterity in its mine vault on Svalbard. The site has become an international symbol of the preservation of existentially significant values for all humanity. So it is appropriate for Flateyjarbok to take its place here as a representative of the Norse world’s contribution to global cultural heritage – side by side with cultural treasures from several of the world’s national museums, including those of the Vatican, the European Space Agency, etc.
