Siberia’s size and climate tied to Eden myth origin
The article argues Siberia stretches about 4000 miles, one sixth of the earth’s circumference, and that ethnologists agree it once housed civilization as humans pursued peace. It claims the theory rests on national languages, noting the current equator would not allow Siberia to be Eden, and attributes the biblical fall to a climate shift from a toppled earth raising the north pole toward that region.

Perkins is said to be opposed by Southern Pacific interests and some San Francisco legislators, while de Young is seen as acceptable to the railroad but disliked by interior lawmakers.
