7th Dec '11 A new edition of Mary Magdalene has been uploaded to all the electronic libraries, which should be downloadable for free. This new version has a large addition of some 8 or 10 pages to chapter 3. There will be another update to the book in January.
28th Sept '11 The approval process for both Kindle and iPad is complete, and the book is now available for download. For Kindle users, who are unable to view the video clips in the book, here are the videos on Youtube.
01st Aug '11 We have had many enquiries about the order in which these many books should be read. Well that depends on whether the reader is more interested in the Old or New Testament accounts, and so we hope the following lists will help readers in making their purchases.
27th Jul '11 At long last, the sequel to "King Jesus" has arrived; a book that traces the history of Mary Magdalene. Like Ralph's other books, this is not a simple rewrite of previous books about Rennes le Chateau. No, this book branches out on a different limb entirely, and traces the evidence for Mary Magdalene in the once proud city of Orange. Release date, 1st August. The publicity info is as follows:
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." And this will indeed be a challenging book in the light of current political correctness, and also in the light of recent events. But it should be noted that this book was created over the last two years, and was finished in May of this year (formatting and epubbing has taken rather longer than usual publishing). Available on Kindle and iPad. Only iPad gives colour images and all the benefits of the pub format, including embedded videos.
13th Mar '11 All Ralph's books are now available on Kindle, iPad and Lulu digital book store.
13th Feb '08 Professor Robert Eisenman recently wrote a turgid but comprehensive analysis of the New Testament called The New Testament Code. (Why does a scholarly book need to cash in on The Da Vinci Code's title?) Anyway, one of his key issues that Eisenman discusses is that the Dead Sea Scrolls must be related to both the Jewish Revolt and to the revolutionary sect of the biblical Jesus and his disciples.
18th Dec '06 Following the best-selling book 'The Da Vinci Code', there has been much discussion as to whether the Last Supper scene painted by Leonardo da Vinci contains an image of Mary Magdalene. But Leonardo's painting is not the only Last Supper scene to include a woman on the right-hand side of Jesus, and if one looks around you will find that this imagery is actually quite common. A good example of this unorthodox genre is the marble sculpture on the altar of St Peter's, the 19th century Catholic cathedral in Drogheda, Eire. So what does this image portray? A man or a woman?
Take a close look at the neat hairstyle, the feminine features, the smooth chin, the hint of a bosom and the tender hand on Jesus' arm. So - is this a man or a woman? Remember that this sculpture lies within a Catholic cathedral and so an answer of 'woman' suggests that senior figures in the Catholic priesthood have deliberately produced a heretical image - so are there secrets within the Church still to be discovered?
16th May '06
Inspiration can be a strange beast at times, you never know where and when it will hit you. There I was, reading the Daily Rant, and an article entitled 'the worst books in history' drew my eye - for there was a title listed that said Jesus was the son of Cleopatra. Having purchased a copy I could see what the reviewer meant, for the book stretched biology and history to its absolute limits (Cleopatra would have been in her 60s when Jesus was born). However, within this bizarre tale was the seed-corn of a new adventure, for the possibility of a link between Cleopatra and Jesus looked very attractive to me. I have long championed the idea that Jesus was of royal Egyptian blood, but I had been unable to find any evidence of this. However, the evidence was there and it demonstrates that Jesus was of royal Egyptian and royal Persian blood. It was for this reason that the Persian Magi attended his birth, and it was for this reason that he was taken to Egypt for his safety (and his education). But this is not all, for this new secular slant on Jesus' ancestry demonstrates that his power base was not simply spiritual. Far from being an lowly artisan and a hermit, Jesus was a prince who controlled a substantial army that was powerful enough to threaten the Persians (Parthians), Judaean and the Romans too. Indeed, the 'Kingdom of Heaven' was also more secular than spiritual, as it resided in modern Jordan and Syria. While I was researching this strange tale I was also reading a book on the Scottish chronicles. But this book was heavy on padding and extremely thin on interesting new data. What I needed was the facts, and so I went in search of the legendary Queen Scota. The subsequent journey took me from Egypt, to Crete, to Spain, to Majorca and then on to Ireland - and only then did the resulting story start to make sense. Unlike the standard history of these regions, it would appear that ther are many similarities between the Egyptian, Minoan, Iberian (Spanish) and Hibernian (Irish) people and the artifacts that they manufactured and constructed. In fact, there are so many similarities that we need to find a conduit through which these ideas, techniques and rituals flowed. Evidence for that conduit has been preserved for us in the Scottish chronicles, and the tales of a perilous journey by a royal couple who were exiled from Egypt. Indeed, a royal mummy may still be preserved in Ireland! However, these two books gave me a distinct publishing problem, for the cost (both for the reader and for the publisher) are inordinately high. The answer was to place these two books back to back, and presto - double the mystery for half the cost. Join me on a thrilling adventure that never ceases to amaze. There are new facts to absorb, new ideas to dwell upon, and an 'ahhaa' moment on every other page. If you liked the titles 'Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs' or 'Solomon, Falcon of Sheba', then you are in for a surprise - for 'Cleopatra & Scota' surpasses both of these.
As an aside, the book 'Solomon, Falcon of Sheba' will shortly be changing its title to 'Solomon, Pharaoh of Egypt'. Titles are very important in sales, and this new title better reflects the import of the book. So don't be confused when you see the new title being advertised. See the Books section for further details of Cleopatra to Christ & Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots.
Sept 24th '04 The years 2003 and 2004 have probably not been my best, as I was struck by a domestic crisis. But out of this adversity came some unexpected free time and creative thought. Since I had already discovered that the latter history of the Israelite United Monarchy was most definitely based upon the history of the Lower Egyptian monarchy, I began to idly wonder about the early sections of Genesis. One of the first things I noticed was that between James Hoch, Wallis Budge and myself, there were some 500 words that were identical in both Egyptian and Hebrew. Hoch maintains that these were 'Hebrew loan words in Egyptian', but that struck me as being peculiar because Egypt was the dominant power here, not Israel. In addition, some of these similar words included ordinal numbers. Are we to believe that Egypt changed its numbering system because a few nomadic Israelite shepherds turned up on its doorstep? Far more likely is the scenario that the Israelites (Hyksos) used and took with them the Egyptian language, and that this formed the basis of Hebrew as we know it. This discovery rather transformed the Book of Genesis, as it was now possible to read the same text in the Egyptian language. While the general thrust of the Genesis story remained the same, the new detail this technique provided demonstrated that most of this text was based upon the Hymn to the Aten, and that Adam and Eve must have been Akhenaton and Nefertiti.
Sept 5th '04 In the book 'Solomon', I casually mentioned that the biblical character called Shebaniah may well have been a pseudonym for King David. At the time this was just a supposition, but it turned out that I was correct. The biblical scribes probably felt fairly safe in occasionally using King David's full name, because the solution to their cryptology can only be found within the Egyptian language. The two names are as follows:
Looking at the Hebrew name in the above table, it can be seen that the Egyptian words that have been picked out by this name are 'seba', 'en', and 'niah'. What these words spell out, of course, is a name that means something like ‘Star and City’, which, as everybody knows, just happen to be the two primary symbols for King David. This not only shows that Shebaniah was an alternative name for King David, it also demonstrates that this name was most definitely Egyptian and most probably based upon the birth name of Pa-seba-kha-en-nuit (Psusennes II). Thus King David must have been Psusennes II.
Feb 24th '03 The EDFU website gets a facelift! Hope you like the new look... There is a brand new article in the Articles section of this website entitled "The tombs of King David, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba discovered" to kick off the new site. It is an introduction to my latest book, Solomon, Falcon of Sheba. Click here to go straight to the article.
Dec
1st '02 Ralph has at last finished the text of another truly astounding new book: Solomon, Falcon of Sheba:
This new book investigates the United Monarchy of King David and King Solomon, and demonstrates that these two illustrious monarchs were, in fact, pharaohs of Egypt. The storyline within Ralph's trilogy of religious works is now becoming clear, the Judaic people were undoubtedly the Hyksos tribes from Lower Egypt, but the twist in this new epic, is that the Hyksos held onto lands in the Nile Delta even after the Israelite-Hyksos exodus from Egypt. These lands in the Delta eventually spawned the twenty-first dynasty of pharaohs, who rose to power in the tenth century BC in their capital city of Tanis. It so happens that the Tanis pharaohs were identical in every respect to the Judaic United Monarchy of King David and King Solomon. This is why these two monarchs were so powerful and famous, there were actually Egypto-Judaic monarchs whose kingdom stretched from Karnak to Jerusalem. See the Books section for further details of all this exciting new project...
April 16th '01 Ralph has published two extremely interesting new books: Tempest & Exodus: Reveals the true Egyptian origins of the Judaic faiths. An account of the biblical exodus has been located on an Egyptian stele and this gives the clue to the true route of the exodus and the location of Mt. Sinai. This identification has profound consequences for the Judaic religions, as the mountain is located next to a number of Egyptian temples and remains. Quest of the Gods: The Great Pyramid of the Himalaya and the location of the legendary 'Hall of Records' revealed. Join the author in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, on a great adventure into the heart of the Himalaya. Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs and Thoth, Architect of the Universe: Both of these titles have been revised and both contain a great deal of new and fascinating information. Both books are now due out in paperback and the publication date for all four books is August-September. See the Books section for further details of all these exciting new projects...
Mar 1st '01 Ralph and Mark are just putting the finishing touches to another radial new article on the rites and symbolism of the pharaohs. Have you ever wondered what the crook and the flail, crossed over the chest of the pharaoh, meant to the people of that era? These two symbols endured in Egypt for thousands of years and were the most prominent symbols of royal office, both in life and in death. Yet for all their notoriety, their purpose has been forgotten; we do not really know what they were supposed to represent. At last there is a good candidate and surprisingly the information was not to be found in the great temple of Karnak, but in the Bible. The crook and the flail were the biblical Urim and Thummim. Look out for more details coming shortly.
Feb 11th '01 The article by Mark Foster and myself on Mamun's forced tunnel in the Great Pyramid, has now been published in both America and Italy (Atlantis Rising and Hera magazines). It has brought positive comment from many quarters across the globe and it has clearly demonstrated that there are still new and demonstrably more logical ways at looking at these ancient structures. For decades the orthodox world had been content with their poorly thought out 'history' of the first opening of the upper chambers inside the Great pyramid. It took a five minute knockabout discussion between myself and Mark Foster to overturn every aspect of that history and to provide instead a far more believable scenario. See the Articles section above for more details. See also Mark Foster's Rostau website for both text and pictures.
