George H. Cooper (1859-1943) wrote two books^[236][237] in which he proposed that ancient Britain provided the starting place of civilisation. Among his daring claims he proposes that the Garden of Eden had been situated on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. Cooper’s book covers a range of subjects; ancient Britain, prehistoric America, Atlantis, ancient calendars etc. Cooper also produced a couple of books devoted to ancient mathematics.

With regard to Atlantis, Cooper identifies Britain and Ireland as Atlantis and was convinced that Stonehenge was the Pillars of Hercules.

This second book appears to be just a reworking of his first, once again promoting the theme of Britain as the source of civilisation.
