explores:
  • The incredible archaeological discoveries at the 11,000 year-old sanctuary of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.
  • The heated debate over the 47-million-year-old ‘Ida Fossil’—could it be the missing link in our evolutionary history?

The first of his four books, Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, and Ancient Mysteries was published in January 2007, and has been translated into nine languages, including German, Russian, Greek, and Thai.

James. He currently lives and writes in Greece.
