Graham Phillips

 

Graham Phillips has investigated unsolved mysteries for over fifteen years. In the 1980s, with Martin Keatman, he co-authored The Green Stone and The Eye of Fire , which documented the discovery of the Meonia Stone hidden after the Gunpowder plot of 1605, and the Ranton Bell, now in the hands of the Queen's cousin Lord Lichfield.

In the 1990s, Phillips and Keatman's bestselling King Arthur - The True Story revealed dramatic new evidence for Arthur's historical existence, and The Shakespeare Conspiracy created international controversy by suggesting that William Shakespeare had worked as a government spy.

 
Graham's other books investigating historical enigmas include Robin Hood - The Man Behind The Myth and The Search For The Grail.
Act Of God explores the mystery surrounding Tomb 55 and discovers for the first time that Smenkhare had been held responsible for the greatest catastrophe in Egypt's history - the plagues as described in the Book of Exodus.
Graham's most recent book is entitled THE MARIAN CONSPIRACY,published in March by Macmillan, examines the true parentage of Jesus and looks at the evidence for the historical reality of Mary, the mother of Jesus. He follows her life after the time of the Crucifixion and concludes that she departed for Britain, at the time one of the only countries outside of Roman juristiction. He traces legends which speak of her burial on the Isle of Anglesey and finally comes upon a previously unknown grave site that might just be the earthly remains of the Virgin Mary.

Graham Phillips has lectured on media studies at Cambridge, Brunel and Warwick Universities, and is a regular speaker at The Questing Conference. He has previously worked as a magazine editor and programme presenter with the BBC.

GRAHAM PHILLIPS - THE EARLY YEARS

Next year sees the publication of Graham's new book, MOUNTAIN OF GOD, due out from Sidgwick and Jackson. Yet in the meantime, his has agreed to add a touch of amusement and chaos to the day. For his umpteenth lecture at the Questing Conference he will talk about his early life and exploits at boarding school! He filled in for a speaker that failed to materialise at a London group forum and had the whole audience in stitches with stories such as the alcoholic teacher and the day that the school attempted to make its own helicopter! Not to be, er, taken too seriously!
