Dr. Herbert Aldersmith F.R.C.S
M.B. LSA
(1847–1918) was an English physician
and author known for his studies on pyramidology
and British Israelism
.
, Herbert Aldersmith gained a scholarship in medicine and won the Gold Medal at the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries
. From the age of 23 until his retirement at 65 he served as Resident Medical Officer to Christ's Hospital School, West Sussex. In 1884, Aldersmith founded the "Medical Officers of Schools Association", which today (through various historic amalgamations with other associations) is known as the Metropolitan Association of Medical Officers of Health. Later he published his first book Ringworm: its diagnosis and treatment, which was one of the earliest medical works on ringworm and received favourable reviews in medical journals. From 1891 he also authored several early works on British Israelism
as well as having read a paper before the president, Court of governors and members of Sion College, London, entitled "The great distinction between the "House of Judah" (the Jews) and the "House of Israel" in these "latter days" (1896).
on a pyramidology book, which was later published six years after his death entitled The Great Pyramid: Its Divine Message (1924). Aldersmith believed that the internal passages of the Great Pyramid of Giza
contain a chronology in numerlogical and metrological form which detail the date of the second coming
and End Times
, as well as prophecies and a timeline relating to the Anglo-Saxon
-Celtic kindred peoples.
According to Aldersmith the end of the world would be on May 29, 1928, but Davidson remained very skeptical about this date and after it passed in a revised 1940 edition of his book, he dated what he considered to be the "Armageddon Climax" to 1953. Later British Israelites pointed out that in 1953 President Harry S. Truman
announced to the United States
that the hydrogen bomb had been developed and therefore claimed Davidson's pyramidology
was factually prophetic.
