I’ve always been fascinated by ancient mysteries. Our modern civilisation has lost so much about what came before. It’s not that we’ve forgotten, so much as our collective memories have been erased. My book Written in the Stars explains how that happened.

My explorations of ancient origins suggest our eariest civilisations may have been written in the stars. From the remote fastness of Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer to the Black Madonna of Monserrat, the tombs of ancient Egypt, and the astonishing finds in Upper Mesopotamia, I’m on a mission to discover and learn what the past can tell us. The book is now out, the film in progress.
