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.

Author description
Ralph Ellis is a freelance author in the sphere of speculative ancient history. Ralph trained initially as a computer programmer/analyst, where he worked on mainframe applications for banks and industry; his access to travel has allowed the many threads of this unfolding story to be analysed at first hand, additionally the international lifestyle allows a unique detached position from the domestic politics of each nation. This was particularly important during the writing of this book. Ralph has been a member of Mensa for many years, he is married with two young children. He is also the author of 'Thoth, Architect of the Universe', a radical reassessment of the design and function of the great henges and pyramids.
