Bad History - Paradise Found by William Warren

In 1885, William Warren claimed mankind began at the North Pole and tried to write 500 pages proving it. He failed, especially in hindsight.

The idea that humanity appeared in East Africa is called "East side story" (I like science especially when you have to give names to things ^^). It is no longer the favoured hypothesis today, and has been replaced by the "West side story" which proposes that humanity appeared around modern Chad. For the record, Yves Coppens, who gave the name of the old hypothesis, helped the team who found the evidence that his work was not representative of reality. He says he is happy that we are now closer to the truth.

Kilves X i mean, even then, i think tigerstar is partially putting his modern bias onto his. I havent read the guys specific work, but i have read sociological works of the time, and a common, evidence based theory was that there was a natural progression from animism to polytheism, to monism, to pantheism among groups. Of course this is not exactly true, but it was supported by the going theory of the time. It wasnt even just a Abrahamic thing, it was also what they saw in parrellel in the Brahmin of Indic religions, or the parallels in buhdism. This i think is more an example of the Victorian (and even modern) tendency to try and classify and structure. Also, this is before the advent of post-modernism in terms common acceptence, so classification like these were common and not necessarily incorrect from a linearist point of veiw. We should treat the late vicorians just like any group in time and place, not saying they were wrong and necessarily biased (of course there can be bias, but dont take it as a given but as a general perspectivism of historical place), and we modern people are correct and better. In reality, thats just committing the same sin we are accusing them of. We should just say “in light of the current state of historiography and science, this is the consensus”, instead of “this is the truth”. The theories layed out here seem reasonable enough given the context of when they were made, and not taking later knowledge and trends of thought into account. It’s certainly not the hight of intellectual rigor of the day, but it doesnt seem anywhere near as bad as tigerstar makes it out to seem.

13:30 Fun fact: that split north pole with the island at the center is Rupes Nigra, a very old phantom island described as a large black mountain in the center of a constant whirlpool.

Fun fact many of explorers (pre-world domination) that supposedly witness this rupis negra in fact every single expedition say pre185o to this area tells of the magnetic rock and the tempest of rushing water that surges in for 6 hours then out for 6 hours swallowing whole fleets only to spit out the debris hours later the roar being so loud it will defen all who get caught in it. But it also makes more sense with the toroidal magnetic fields tha split at the poles. I find that these okd accounts are far more truthful than anything today. You wontvfind a book recent one that has the biggest country civilization that ever occupied earth (tartaria )in it or how grande far reaching and big they and their buildings and empires were, nothing about patagonia and the 12 15 foot inhabitants that called it home, try to tell us all darker skin human brothers were brought from aftica which is bs bc even george Washington himself talks about mixing the ones that were already here and in the islands with the African ones in order to so called help with the civilisation ( reprogramming) of these peoples.

[@harryshome4588]

Yes, there is a theory that the earth is hollow and there is an entrance at the North Pole that leads to this hollow earth, based on my research there is a small sun in the center of the planet that gives light in the interior of the planet, this theory corresponds with inuit beliefs, also Hyperborea is described as being a land of constant ans perpetual sight, with warm and temprate climate, it would make sense if that hollow earth theory is true. There is a booked Called The Smoky God by William George Emerson written in 1908 of a true account of an Norwegian sailor in the 1829 who discovered the north polar entrance into the hollow earth, they saw the inner sun, and the place was a constant 75°F, they came upon a river called Hiddekkel - (the bible rivers) and met a face of Giants that resemebled the Norse Gods, they stayed there for 2 years, the giants spoke a Sanskrit type of language according the Norwegian sailor, he tried to tell the world about his discovery but he was imprisoned for 28 years and called an insane man(this was the 1800s keep in mind). It's hard to believe but I also watched Admiral Byrds footage of this voyage in Antarctica, he was flying far inland and you can see in the footage what appears to be numerous lakes, the temperature according to the admiral was around 70°F or a bit less I believe and I saw miles and miles of iceless land in the footage, I believe the Norwegian man named Olaf and what I saw in the Admiral Byrds footage, There is no legitimate evidence to disprove this theory. The more I tried to the more I found more convincing evidence. There is decoy base in the Antarctica which claims to be the south pole. When travelers want to go to the south pole they go to that base so I tried getting the coordinates for the base, the base is called Amundsen Research Base, i found out that place is actually more than 300miles away from the real pole, it's at the very rim of of South polar opening, there should be satellite imagery that disproves my claims right? No. There is not a single legitimate photograph from satellite of the poles. Not 1. I found a video of NASA space station which was about to fly over the north pole but before they did, there blocked the video so we couldn't see anything, i actually found video footage from The Russian space station called Mir from the late 1980s which appears to show a gigantic hole in the earth with white, red-orange light coming out of it and heavy black clouds, exactly what olaf described in his book, when he was entering the opening at the North.

(Obviously this means the most northern part of the globe, not any of the hundreds of mountains in Southern Asia north of India...)

This is even more pseudo-everything, but perhaps you could do The Emerald Tablet of Thoth the Atlantean?

[@wolfgangwolff1343]

I have a strong believe that there was a Game at some point, where you just oint at a random spot on the world map and try to justify a theory supporting that humanity originated from there. Otherwise I can't explain how people thought Humans originated from a continent in the Pacific, Lemuria or the North Pole.

Dogon said they came from the North Pole.

Regarding "One of the most interesting and pathetic passages to be found in all literature..." I believe Warren was using an older usage of pathetic to mean "having pathos." I don't think he was meaning to dunk on Columbus, alas. It's funny, it seems like every pseudohistorian out there either sees Columbus as a hero or wants him to have been pre-empted in his most famous achievement by every civilization in Eurasia...

ETS made more wild claims from pure head canon than the author he was trying to refute did. "Atlas was from the west"- these kinds of things need citations bud.

Isn’t a work that’s part of the “people actually came from somewhere else” genre basically just a disingenuous reframing of a founding myth as history?

[@Ethan-cz8xq]

I know that this is wildly unrealistic, but it would be hilarious if one of the works featured in these videos wound up being correct.

Why the North Pole? at least with the South Pole to have half a theory.

The north pole is a bold choice. He did miss out on proposing the humans from there to be the lost ten tribes of Israel.
