William Comyns Beaumont, also known as Comyns Beaumont, (1873-1956) was a British eccentric with several unusual beliefs, many of which were later mirrored by Immanuel Velikovsky's works. Beaumont was a staff writer for the Daily Mail who eventually became editor of The Bystander in 1903 and then The Graphic in 1932.
Among Beaumont's propositions were:
- catastrophic climate changes were the results of the action of asteroids on the earth.
- The Egyptian dynasties up to the 13th century BC ruled in South Wales.
- Jerusalem was originally located in Edinburgh.
- The works of Shakespeare were written by Francis Bacon.
- Francis Bacon was the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth I.
- There is a Zionist plot to undermine the British Empire.
- Part of this plot was disinformation disseminated by means of the Bible, which concealed the fact that the Holy Lands were in Britain, not in Palestine.
- The British Isles were Atlantis.
- Jesus was born in Glastonbury, and his life played out in Somerset.
