Simon Ganneau
Simon Ganneau (* 1806 ; † 1851 ; also Gannot or Gannau ), who called himself Mapah (= ma ter pa ter), was a French sculptor . In 1838 he founded a religious-mystical sect ( Evadisme , from Eve and Adam) that taught gender equality. Alexander Herzen reports that Ganneau himself told him that his meeting with God took place on the road between Montmartre and Paris.
According to Éliphas Lévi , Ganneau saw himself as the reincarnation of Louis XVII. , his wife as Marie Antoinette . His son Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau became an orientalist.
