About this listen

Long before modern theories of human origins took shape, William F. Warren proposed an extraordinary idea—that the cradle of civilization once lay in the far North, in a lost polar homeland remembered in ancient myths and sacred texts around the world.

In Paradise Found, first published in 1885, Warren explores the world’s oldest legends—from Eden and Olympus to Asgard and Avalon—tracing their shared symbolism to a common source: a vanished paradise near the Pole. Drawing from comparative mythology, astronomy, and early anthropology, he builds a sweeping argument that challenges conventional history and invites us to reimagine our beginnings.

Whether you approach it as bold speculation, inspired mythography, or a forgotten key to humanity’s past, Paradise Found remains a fascinating journey through the deepest layers of human memory—a blend of science, theology, and wonder that has influenced generations of thinkers and seekers.

Brought to you by Adultbrain Publishing, this unabridged audiobook revives one of the 19th century’s most daring explorations into the origins of humankind and the mysteries of the Earth’s lost North.
