# Claim: Mount Zion is the Navel of the Earth

## Claim Statement
In this teaching series, Mount Zion is identified with the "middle," "center," or "navel" of the earth, and this location is further identified with the north pole rather than with Zion in Israel.

## Classification
- Category: Geography
- Type: Interpretive claim
- Strength in series: Strongly asserted
- Direct textual support in cited Enoch wording: Not yet established
- Depends on interpretive chain: Yes

## Core formulation
The argument proceeds roughly as follows:
1. Enoch refers to the "middle of the earth."
2. "Middle" is treated as equivalent to "center."
3. "Center" is treated as equivalent to "navel."
4. This center/navel is identified as Mount Zion.
5. Mount Zion is then identified with the north pole.
6. Zion in Israel is treated as a later derivative name, not the original referent.
