## History

### Background

Mystic Point was a jungle land of Papua New Guinea which was stolen and colonized by British aristocrat, Lord Henry Mystic. Mystic had selected the region due to having previously visited it in the late 1870s/early 1880s where he happened upon a monkey which he adopted and named, "Albert". Mystic Point the colony was created in 1889 to serve as the home to Lord Mystic and Albert. In 1908, Lord Mystic began letting outsiders into the colony to show off his collection of artifacts and inventions.

Lord Henry Mystic is also mentioned in both the Daily Gnus by Priyanka Manhas, and on the list of Adventure Trading Company members.

### Jungle Cruise

In an interview with the Daily Gnus leading up to the 2021 refurbishments, Alberta Falls mentions how her grandfather took her to Mystic Point. There is a crate in the Mekong boathouse labelled to be sent from Mystic Point to Dr. Kon Chunosuke. Another crate of beekeeping supplies is stamped to be shipped to Mystic Point.

In the Magic Kingdom, a crate of beekeeping supplies is present in the Amazon River Base. A letter in Alberta Falls' office asks about her journey to Mystic Point, while a post-card from there is pinned to her wall. There is a post-card for Mystic Point in the bulletin board of this base.

## Trivia

* Mystic's claiming of Mystic Point resembles the historic practice of justifying English land-claim to Oceania by declaring it to be non-populated due to the lack of western agriculture, despite populations of humans in the region.
* Walt Disney and Roy Disney are shown in attendance of the opening of Mystic Manor to the public in 1908. This is however anachronistic to real-life history as they would have been children at the time.
* While Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar has Skip mention Trader Sam having travelled to Mystic Point, at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto he instead mentions him travelling to Vulcania from *20,000 Leagues Under the Sea*.
