Godfrey Higgins
Godfrey Higgins (30 January 1772 in
Owston, Yorkshire – 9 August 1833 in
Cambridge) was an English magistrate and landowner, a prominent advocate for social reform,
historian, and
antiquarian. He wrote concerning ancient myths. His book ''
Anacalypsis'', was published posthumously, in which he asserts a commonality among various religious myths, which he traces back to the supposed lost religion of
Atlantis. He has been termed a "political radical, reforming county magistrate and idiosyncratic historian of religions".
