My ‘Sacred Salmon’ Article Is Now In Hebrew
December 22, 2020Read moreOut of all my articles, ‘The Sacred Salmon’ is the one that I feel has failed to receive it’s just attention. What an extraordinary and esoteric fish. I mean, of all the creatures in the world, who would have thought that the humble salmon would have emerged as the quintessential symbol of wisdom? Then again, why not? For the remarkable

Rennessence On Spotify
November 28, 2020Read moreI have fond memories of having teamed with my good friends Corjan de Raaf and the late Philip Coppens on the internet blog, Radio Rennessence. Between 2007 and 2009 we interviewed many of the world’s leading Rennes-le-Chateau researchers, authors and notables. From Henry Lincoln to Rat Scabies, we showcased the latest theories about the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, at a time
The Alaska Triangle
March 15, 2020Read moreI hope you are enjoying the new hit show on the Travel Channel; ‘The Alaska Triangle.‘ I contribute to most episodes, and what a diverse collection of subjects they are: missing planes, missing people, UFO sightings, lake monsters, strange trumpet sounds from the sky, underground pyramids, CIA remote viewing programs, ghost ships, even legends of bigfoot – and much more.
The Extra-Terrestrial Origins Of Earth’s Inter-Terrestrials
August 25, 2019Read moreI recently delivered the keynote presentation at the first annual AlienExpo conference in Knoxville. At AlienExpo. I know what you are thinking. Aliens? Really? That was my initial reaction too. Serendipitously, the request to participate in the event dovetailed with my current research. I entitled my presentation ‘The extra-terrestrial origins of earth’s inter-terrestrials’. The premise is this; what if the
Cubs Win! Did the Sacred Number 108 Break the Curse?
January 31, 2017Read moreSometimes sports and the esoteric world weave a rather strange tale. Not often, but when they do, it gets interesting. Such is the tale of the Chicago Cubs. To that end, it gives me great pleasure to post my editorial to The Heretic Magazine Volume 12. After all, it’s almost that time once more. 2016 was a remarkable year. Some
The Treasure of Solomon in Istanbul
December 2, 2016Read moreIn my latest article, I chronicle the plight of history’s most infamous relics from their capture in Jerusalem to Rome, Carthage and finally Constantinople, and explore the possibility that some may remain hidden in plain sight in the Privy Chamber of Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace (among other local sites). I love Istanbul, as you know, and it was a joy to
From Mesopotamia to Mesoamerica…
August 24, 2016Read moreI am excited that my latest article for the Heretic Magazine Issue 10 is now available on my website. I hope you like it. What if there were more to the Book of Mormon than the disparaging musical would lead you to believe? What if its peculiar story provided insight into some of the most confounding conundrums in history? You
Talking bollocks on Capricorn TV
April 21, 2016Read moreI always enjoy sitting down with Capricorn TV host, James Swager, and on this occasion I found myself speaking about all sorts of things, from the Book of Mormon, to Zecharia Sitchin, Atlantis, and of course bees.

The Sacred Salmon
January 1, 2016Read moreI am pleased that the ‘Sacred Salmon’, first published in the Heretic Magazine Issue 7, is now available on my website. I have always been fascinated by the Salmon’s ability to return where it was born to breed, and die, but when I started to research the remarkable fish, I discovered that the unassuming creature had emerged through history as
Maya Kings as Bee Gods
December 1, 2015Read moreI recently returned from a fascinating trip to Mexico, where I toured many Olmec, Toltec, Mayan and Aztec archaeological sites. While exploring these amazing places is not unusual, I suspect that few have investigated them for evidence of bee veneration. I am pleased to say that what I discovered exceeded my expectations. While the bulk of my findings will be
Original Sin
October 2, 2015Read moreIn my most recent article, I traveled to the Turkish/Syrian border in search of the truth behind the dogma of Original Sin. What I discovered suggests that the biblical account of the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden may not be what it seems, and that the notion of Original Sin may be a memory of
Capricorn Radio
September 2, 2015Read moreI was recently interviewed by Heather Elizabeth Osborn and Edward James Swager for their Capricorn Radio Program, and really enjoyed the range of subjects we discussed, which included the sacred honey bee, Atlantis, and even why Noah was found naked and passed out in his tent after the great flood.

Oracles of Deception
November 26, 2014Read moreOracles of the dead are peculiar places. We have grown accustomed to believing that they were all sacred domiciles, where otherworldly events took place in the presence of the gods. However, at the risk of sounding sacrilegious, I believe that this was not always the case. I recently travelled to Baia, Italy, and to the famed oracle in Delphi, Greece,
Trumpeting The Queen Bee
November 10, 2014Read moreI recently had the pleasure of meeting two fascinating bee experts, Debra Roberts and Filiz Telek. The three of us dined at an unassuming, but superb, little restaurant in Istanbul’s Galata district and, as you might expect, we discussed bees.

The Cybele Conundrum
October 19, 2014Read moreThere is an image of Cybele, the mythological ‘Mother of the Gods’, that has haunted me for years. The early 20th-century postcard shows an eroded rock-statue of the Goddess on Mount Sipylus, Turkey, with an exhausted looking traveller recuperating at its base. The ancient relief is attributed to the Hittites and, according to Pausanias, the 2nd-century Greek traveller, geographer and
The Fleur-de-Lis and the Bee
September 27, 2014Read moreStylised images of bees, many of which are indiscernible to the pedestrian eye, have symbolised goddesses for tens of thousands of years. One quite famous image that many believe symbolises a bee, albeit a more modern image than the famous goddess statues from pre-history, is the fleur-de-lis. As tantalising as this association may be, I’ve always felt that it lacked

Lana and the 27 Club
September 7, 2014Read moreLive in London, 2012 © Andrew Gough My friend, Star Peimbert, is an amazing astrologer and occasionally she assists me with my research, such as when she provided invaluable insight into the astrological charts of Stalin and Lenin for my article, Russian Mysticism and the Secret of Stalin’s Skyscrapers. So, I have come to respect and rely on her
The Inquisitions: Atrocities in the Name of God
July 18, 2014Read moreWhen director, Bruce Burgess, asked if I would present a television series about the Inquisitions, I complied straight away. Details were not important. I was in. He had me, as they say, at ‘hello’. I have always been passionate about this period of history and had worked with Burgess before, mainly on the UK television documentary series, Forbidden History (I
