Jesus, King of Edessa
Full release 6th March 2013 - on iBooks, Nook, Kindle and in paperback.
The biblical Jesus - discovered in the historical record.
Contemporary coins and statue of Jesus discovered in Syria.
Why is Jesus missing from the historical record? Jesus was an influential king (the King of the Jews) and probably the most famous monarch of the last two millennia, so why cannot we find archaeological evidence for his life? The answer is that we have been looking in the wrong location.
Following 25 years of research, Ralph Ellis has discovered that Jesus was a prince of Edessa in northern Syria. The Edessan monarchs were Nazarene Jews who helped build the Temple of Jerusalem and saved Judaea from starvation during a great famine. But, just like Jesus, they were also religious and political revolutionaries who tried to take control of Judaea, but were thwarted by the Roman Army. Thus there are many links and similarities between the biblical accounts and the princes and kings of Edessa.
However, in addition to this, Ralph Ellis has discovered that one of the princes of Edessa had the same names as Jesus. Jesus was called (King) Jesus Emmanuel, while one of the Edessan monarchs was called King Izas Manu(el). Equally interesting, is the fact that all of the Edessan monarchs wore a plaited Crown of Thorns. The biblical Jesus was crucified wearing this same plaited Crown of Thorns because he was this very same prince and king of Edessa.
Thus we now know who Jesus was, where he lived, and who his family were. Visit his city, see the ruins of his citadel, gaze upon his statue, handle his coins. In reality, Jesus was a son of King Abgarus au Kama of Edessa, a minor princeling with a small realm, a large treasury, and even bigger ambitions. But the so-called Wise Prince of northern Syria came up against an intractable Rome, and his many plans crumbled to dust. The historical records then indicate that this revolutionary prince of Edessa was crucified outside Jerusalem, along with two other leaders of the revolt, but he was reprieved and taken down from the cross by a man called Joseph(us). And yes, this familiar-sounding account is from the historical record, and not from the gospels.
Readers might imagine that the true history of this region might undermine much of the biblical story that the gospel authors have crafted. But in reality the gospels always did say that Jesus was a Nazarene (Mat 2:23) and a king (Luk 23:38), and so this new analysis changes very little in the gospel story. The only real difference is that the true history of the region indicates that the strategies and goals of King Izas (King Jesus) were much more far-reaching than the gospel accounts like to admit. In reality, the goal of King Izas and the Edessan monarchy was to use their newly united Kingdom of Judaeo-Syria as a springboard to take over the throne of Rome. Yes, King Izas (King Jesus) wanted to become Emperor of Rome - which is why he was so closely linked to the Roman 'Star Prophesy' (the eastern star at his birth), and why he suffered a Roman rather than a Jewish form of punishment.
This is a scholarly study of all the available historical evidence, including the Tanakh, Talmud, Josephus Flavius, the Roman historians, and venerable Syriac historians like Moses of Chorene and Yohannes Drasxanakertci.
We suggest that readers start with 'Cleopatra to Christ' and then 'King Jesus'. The wait before arriving at the last episode in the trilogy will be worthwhile, for if a book could be valued on its 'eureka moments' then this final book would be priceless. v3.5

King Jesus, from Kam (Egypt) to Camelot
King Jesus of Judaea was King Arthur of England.
This book resolves the greatest mystery and international conspiracy of all time, the true origins of Christianity.
The original objective was to confirm that St Paul (Saul) was actually Josephus Flavius. However, this novel identification exposed new perspectives on the life of Jesus, who was actually a king.
"Priests and kings were anointed ...
hence the title 'christ' or 'messiah'
often signified the same as 'king'."
Commentary on the Bible, Adam Clarke 1832.
Contrary to orthodox perceptions, King Jesus and Queen Mary Magdalene were the richest couple in Syrio-Judaea. The Romans wanted to impose taxes on Jesus and Mary, an imposition that provoked the Jewish Rebellion. King Jesus fought and lost that war, and so he was crucified, reprieved and sent into exile in Roman England. In those remote lands, King Jesus became known as Atur-tii (the Egyptian) or 'King Arthur and the twelve disciples of the Last Supper Table'.
This identification of Jesus as a wealthy, royal, warrior-hero of first century Judaea may sound bizarre, but that is what the texts say. All research and quotations are from original sources, including the New Testament, Tanakh, Talmud, Josephus, Origen, Eusebius, Irenaeus, Herodian, Suetonius, Tacitus, Clement and many others besides. This is a secret history that has been deliberately concealed from us for two millennia - for those feet, in ancient times, did indeed walk upon England's mountains green!

Cleopatra to Christ
Jesus Was the Great Grandson of Cleopatra VII.
&
Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots
Ireland and Scotland Were First Settled by the Descendants of an Egyptian Pharaoh and His Queen.
Book I - Cleopatra to Christ
Why was the birth of a poor 'carpenter' in the first century AD visited by the Magi: the Persian king-makers? Why was Jesus later known as the 'King of the Jews'? There is a great deal of evidence within the New Testament, which demonstrates that Jesus was actually of royal blood. But if this is so, then from which royal family was he descended? Using many strands of contemporary evidence, Ralph Ellis has pieced together a historical jigsaw puzzle, which demonstrates that the biblical Jesus was directly descended from Cleopatra VII, the most famous queen of Egypt. But this is not all, for in piecing this story together it would seem that Jesus also had an aristocratic Roman and royal Persian ancestry too; and it is the latter bloodline element that explains the appearance of Persian Magi at his birth. But why should the New Testament authors obscure the ancestry of such an illustrious prince? Well, the gospel writers were looking for an ideal family as their role model, but this particular royal family hid a dark, unmentionable secret. Join Ralph on the incredible untold story of a king and queen who were exiled to Judaea in 4AD - just a couple of years before the Roman taxation of Judaea, when Jesus is said to have been born.
Book II - Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots
The legends of Ireland and Scotland tell a fantastic tale of an Egyptian queen and her Greek husband, who were exiled from Egypt at some point during the second millennium BC. Chased from their homelands, they took to the sea and settled in Spain and then Ireland. It is said that it was from this Queen Scota and King Gaythelos that the modern titles for the Scottish and Gaelic people were derived. All of these early Celtic myths were finally set down in a fourteenth century book called 'Scotichronicon', the title page of which appears on the cover of this book. But what are we to make of this ancient story - is it based more upon fact or fiction? Historians have, as one might expect, taken the story to be complete fiction; but there are many elements to this hoary old tale that demonstrate that the authors of Scotichronicon knew a great deal about the ancient history and language of Egypt. Ralph Ellis has taken a lateral look at this mythology, and found many links and associations that lead to one inescapable conclusion - that the extraordinary tale of Queen Scota and King Gaythelos is probably true.

Mary Magdalene, Princess of Provence and the House of Orange
Did Mary Magdalene travel to Provence, in France? Ralph Ellis follows the trail of mythology and reveals circumstantial evidence to suggest that she did, and that her presence there has left its mark on the region. Ralph also suggests that the legacy of Mary Magdalene was bequeathed to the town of Orange, the town that was central to the Royal Dutch House of Orange, and thus central to the entire Reformation and Enlightenment movement of the 17th century.
The book goes on to explore the Orange Enlightenment and the Age of Reason, the twin religious reforms that created the modern technical world that we live in today. But these freedoms are now threatened by forces of darkness that seek to extinguish all the gains of the Enlightenment. Ralph gives us his personal opinion about the perils that the world faces today, perils that all supporters of reason, freedom, technology and secularism need to face up to.

Eden in Egypt
The four rivers in Eden were the four rivers of the Nile Delta.
Adam and Eve were Akhenaton and Nefertiti.
The Genesis creation myth is a version of the Hymn to the Aten.
The Garden of Eden was the Garden of Aton (Adon), or the city of Amarna.
Genesis was written in ancient Egyptian.
Having seen so many similarities between the Israelites and Egypt, I felt sure that the Book of Genesis should also contain elements of Hyksos Egyptian culture. But how could this be so if the rivers of Eden were the Euphrates and Tigris? The answer to this is simple, because the Hebrew Bible does not mention a Euphrates or Tigris at all. What it does mention is a river that runs through Eden and splits into four branches, and this just has to be a reference to the Nile running through the Garden of Akhenaton's Aton (Adon), and splitting into the four branches of the Nile Delta. Ergo: the Genesis story has to be based upon Akhenaton and his brand of alternative theology.

Jesus,
Last of the Pharaohs
The
biblical Abraham and Jacob were pharaohs of Egypt.
The
Israelites were not shepherds, but the Hyksos Shepherd pharaohs.
The
dispute that caused the Biblical Exodus.
Jesus
married his sister, Mary Magdelene.
Jesus,
governor of Tiberias, leader of 600 rebel 'fishermen'.
Jesus
followed the traditional astrology of the Egyptians,
...
he was born a Lamb of God (Aries) and died a fisher of men (Pisces).
Saul
discovered in the historical record.
There is irrefutable evidence that the Biblical
patriarchs were indeed pharaohs of Egypt, that is why their story
was so important that it has endured for so many thousands of years.
Using this new knowledge, Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs goes on to
discover an entirely new face to Christianity, to discover startling
new passages where the Biblical Jesus and Saul appear in the historical
record. The Bible is transformed into a story of a royal bloodline,
and it is a tale that is verifiable at every stage by references
from the historical texts.

Tempest & Exodus
A
Sequel to Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs.
The
biblical exodus inscribed on an Egyptian stele.
The
secret name of god explained.
Mt.
Sinai is the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The
location of Mt. Ararat.
Pictures
of Noah's Ark.
Tempest & Exodus describes the dramatic discovery of large biblical
quotation on an ancient Egyptian stele. When compared to the biblical
equivalent the text appears to be two separate accounts, from both
the Egyptian and the Israelite perspective, of a conference in Egypt
discussing the way in which the biblical exodus should be organised.
The quotation thus has fundamental implications for both history
and theology because it explains why the Tabernacle and the Ark of
the Covenant were constructed, why the biblical exodus started, where
Mt. Sinai was located, who the god of the Israelites was - indeed,
it even explains exactly who the Israelites really were and thus
why the Torah, Bible and Koran were written.

Solomon,
Falcon of Sheba
A Sequel to Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs -and-Tempest & Exodus
The
tombs of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba discovered.
The
sarcophagi of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba discovered.
The
Temple of Solomon discovered - in Egypt.
The
Judaic United Monarchy's capital city - in Egypt.
The Queen of Sheba, King Solomon and King David are still household
names in much of the world, so how is it possible that these influential
monarchs cannot be found in the archaeological record? The reality
of this omission has perplexed theologians and historians alike for
centuries, but Ralph Ellis, the maverick author of Jesus, Last
of the Pharaohs and Tempest & Exodus, has at last rediscovered the
lost tombs and sarcophagi of these legendary monarchs.
Join Ralph on a tour of Biblical history that at last contains real
events, real lives and real people. See the archaeological evidence
of the city that King David founded, the temple that King Solomon
built, the nation that the Queen of Sheba governed, and the legendary
mines that underpinned their extraordinary wealth. But beware! The
new historical identities of these monarchs, which have been uncovered
by this research, also alter our understanding of numerous Biblical
and secular events; in short, history was not as we know it.

the design of the Avebury Henge based on the form of the Earth?
Was
Neolithic man conversant with latitudes and longitudes?
Was
the layout of the pyramids and henges intended to mimic the stars?
Was
the Great Pyramid designed as a map of the Earth?
Was
Stonehenge designed to mimic the motions of the Earth?
Thoth, Architect of the Universe, finds verifiable proof that the
great henges and pyramids were complex monuments, built by a technical
civilization. The designer has specifically designed these monuments
to mimic both the layout of the Earth and its motions in space. The
author has been diligent in ensuring that each and every claim that
is made in this respect is verifiable using everyday science, these
designs are real artifacts - they are not based on speculation.
