William Comyns Beaumont (1873-1956) was a British eccentric with several unusual beliefs, many of which were later mirrored by Immanuel Velikovsky's works.

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 B.C. ruled in South Wales
  • Jerusalem was originally located in Edinburgh
