<h2> PART SEVEN. AUTHOR'S AFTERWORD </h2>
<p>I FOUND much difficulty in deciphering and editing the manuscripts of Olaf
Jansen. However, I have taken the liberty of reconstructing only a very
few expressions, and in doing this have in no way changed the spirit or
meaning. Otherwise, the original text has neither been added to nor taken
from.</p>
<p>It is impossible for me to express my opinion as to the value or
reliability of the wonderful statements made by Olaf Jansen. The
description here given of the strange lands and people visited by him,
location of cities, the names and directions of rivers, and other
information herein combined, conform in every way to the rough drawings
given into my custody by this ancient Norseman, which drawings together
with the manuscript it is my intention at some later date to give to the
Smithsonian Institution, to preserve for the benefit of those interested
in the mysteries of the "Farthest North"—the frozen circle of
silence. It is certain there are many things in Vedic literature, in
"Josephus," the "Odyssey," the "Iliad," Terrien de Lacouperie's "Early
History of Chinese Civilization," Flammarion's "Astronomical Myths,"
Lenormant's "Beginnings of History," Hesiod's "Theogony," Sir John de
Maundeville's writings, and Sayce's "Records of the Past," that, to say
the least, are strangely in harmony with the seemingly incredible text
found in the yellow manuscript of the old Norseman, Olaf Jansen, and now
for the first time given to the world.</p>
