About the Author

Philip Gardiner believes that much of orthodox history is based upon propaganda in one form or another. His search for the truth has led him to uncover historical evidence which previously had been unseen for what it is. He is the author of The Shining Ones - the world’s most powerful secret society revealed. And Proof - Does God Exist? - is there any evidence for the existence of god?
Gary Osborn has written widely on mysticism, esoteric traditions and the nature of human consciousness. He describes himself as an ‘initiate into the mysteries’.
