Mohamad Fadl Akkad truthcontrol/comyns-beaumont Edinburgh, Capital city of Scotland, has had many stories told about it down history, both real and claimed. Arguably the most bizarre claim however is that Edinburgh was actually the Biblical Jerusalem. This was the fantastic claim made by William Comyns Beaumont in his 1947 book, Britain; the Key to World History. According to his theory, all the Egyptian Pharaohs up until the 13th century BC were actually based in south Wales, Jesus was born at Glastonbury and grew up in the English county of Somerset before starting his ministry in Jerusalem, which of course was to later become Edinburgh. Before this happened however, according to Jerusalem was under attack by an army led by Moses / Zoroaster / Silenius / Odin, whom Beaumont claimed were all one and the same person under different identities. In a twist which L Ron Hubbard may well have been envious of, Beaumont further claimed that the remnants of a doomed planet destroyed the invading army in a double comet collision. This collision also destroyed a now-lost part of the British Isles, which according to Beaumont was Atlantis. Jerusalem survived but the entire planet changed, lengthening the year by five days and changing the climate, causing many to travel south to their present locations, including those who moved to the Middle East, renaming places after the regions they had come from, hence the Holy Land. After these events Jerusalem (Edinburgh) was rebuilt and according to Beaumont, the British Isles were the true Holy Land, where York was actually Babylon, London was Damascus and Bristol was Sodom (I dont know what Bristolians thought of their city being likened to the wickedest city in the Bible but having been there I can assure people it is anything but a den of sin). Beaumonts evidence for this was likening the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans and the Roman invasion of Britain. He also used local legends, such as that of Pontius Pilate supposedly being a Pict from Fortingall, Perthshire. He further argued that Edinburgh better suited the classical descriptions of Jerusalem than anywhere in the middle east, identifying Arthurs Seat as the Mount of Olives and pointing out that one of Edinburghs seaside areas is named Joppa, arguing that those who moved to Judea took that name with them to the port of the same name, rather than the other way around. So convinced was Beaumont of his theories that he offered to show any archaeologist around Britain to prove that this island and not Palestine is the Holy Land of the Bible. According to Beaumont the reason we are unaware that the places in Britain are the Holy Land is because of a conspiracy by historical leaders to change and rewrite history. He claimed for instance that the Roman Emperor Hadrian had buildings of beautiful architecture removed from the Scottish Athens, Dumbarton according to Beaumont, and rebuilt in Greece. Likewise he claimed that the Holy Roman Emperor Constantine, who was actually a Yorkshireman, tricked his mother (St Helena) into supposedly finding the true cross in Judea, thereby proclaiming it to be Jerusalem, as the true Jerusalem (Edinburgh) was too far from his headquarters in Rome. William Comyns Beaumonts claims were widely reported up to about 1950 and then interest dwindled away. In 1975 an American, Robert Stephanos, set up the Comyns Beaumont Society in Philadelphia, to revive his claims.
