William F. Warren
The suggestion that primitive Eden was located at the Arctic Pole seems at first sight the most incredible of all wild and willful paradoxes. Yet the author was the first president of Boston University, and states in the preface that the book is not the work of a dreamer – it is a serious and meticulously researched attempt to present what is to the author’s understanding the true and final solution to one of the greatest and most fascinating of all problems connected to the history of mankind.
First published in 1885, this book presents copious evidence that Atlantis was situated in the northern Arctic, noting that Hesiod, Virgil, and Homer all placed it at the “ends of the earth.” The author’s interpretation is further supported by evidence connecting Atlantis with related mythical locations such as Avalon, Eden, the world mountain and the tree of life, as well as scientific research in a wide range of fields, the conclusions of fellow scholars like Gerald Massey, and more.
