Rudbeck's research led to the Queen's support of his career.
To facilitate his studies of human anatomy, he had a cupola built on top of Gustavianum, a university edifice, and in it was built an arena-like Theatrum anatomicum, where dissection could be carried out in front of students.
Sweden had ascended to a position as a great power in Europe, and as is usual, there was a need for an "intellectual reason" for this power.

 Linnaeus' Garden.
No lectures in botany were given since Rudbeck the younger spent most of his time on a philological project.
Linnaeus dedicated to Celsius a small publication, Praeludia Sponsaliorum Plantarum (A Prelude to the Marriage of Plants), in which he introduced the idea that the pistil and the st amina were sexual organs of plants.
When the two hundredth anniversary of Linnaeus's birth was celebrated in 1907, all that the university could show the visiting scientists from foreign countries were the quarters, covered with grass and surrounded with hedges.

 Australian Information from Wikipedia
In 1555, the exiled Swedish archbishop Olaus Magnus recorded a tradition that a man named Kettil Runske had stolen three rune staffs from Odin and learned the runes and their magic.
Runes are a popular field for amateur scholars, and many imaginative ideas have been advanced, such as a claim by Olaus Rudbeck Sr in Atlantica that all writing systems originate from proto-runic scripts.
Another fringe theory is that the runes originated directly from the Middle East, and are related to the Nabataean alphabet, a variant of the Phoenician alphabet.

 The Atlantic Vision
“...Rudbeck lived during the period between 'renaissance science,' which interpreted texts, and 'Newtonian science,' which observed nature.
Depicting Rudbeck as close to an 'ideal type' who was representative of what he calls 'baroque science, 'Eriksson discusses with profound erudition more well-known representatives of the science of the times.
This movement is better characterized as baroque than as revolutionary, inasmuch as there is no clear break between the hermeneutics of the Paracelsians and the Baconians and the rigorous quantitative and experimental method that characterizes Enlightenment science.”-Scandinavian Studies

 Gothicismus at AllExperts
The movement took pride in the Gothic tradition that the Ostrogoths and their king Theodoric the Great who assumed power in the Roman Empire had Scandinavian ancestry.
This pride was expressed as early as the medieval chronicles, where chroniclers wrote about the Goths as the ancestors of the Scandinavians, and it permeated the writings of Johannes Magnus (Historia de omnibus gothorum seonumque regibus) and his brother Olaus Magnus (Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus).
The pride culminated in the publication of Olaus Rudbeck's Atland eller Manheim (1â€"4 (1679â€"1702), where, in the scholarly tradition of his time, he claimed that Sweden was identical to Atlantis.

 Philologos | Mazzaroth by Frances Rolleston
Since these nations have begun to cultivate letters, Olaus Rudbeck, one of their early writers, in his patriotic enthusiasm for the glories of his race, claimed for them the invention of astronomy during their sojourn in the frozen North, adapting the emblems of the zodiac to its climate.
In India and Arabia, from time immemorial, the signs of the zodiac and the lunar mansions have been interwoven with all their science and their poetry, with their public worship and their private economy; the figures embodied in the forms of their idols, and the appellations transmitted in the names of their children.
Olaus Rudbeck* traces the Asiatic origin of the Scandinavian tribes by the oriental roots he finds in their dialects, chiefly in the words connected with their mythology and astronomy.

While the colors are a bit off in the background, it shows how overwhelming the striking yellow of fl-eyed susans can be when they are in full bloom.
The state flower of Maryland, fl-eyed susans are of the genus Rudbeckia, named after Olaus Olai Rudbeck, a botanist and physician from Sweden in the early 1700s.
