Wow, those must be some excellent peer reviewers to be able to follow hundreds of pages of dense esoteric math that the world's greatest mathematicians have been unable to understand.

>accepted for publication
By the author's own journal.

You forgot to mention a few minor details.

Abel's life history is just sad. He died in poverty a few days before the news that he got a high paying job an University could reach him. He died thinking nobody cared about his work.
