About the Author

Dennis Price began working in archaeology in the early 1970s and is now regarded as an expert on Stonehenge and the many strange stories associated with the ruins. An unusual line in a poem by William Blake was the catalyst for a four-year investigation into the possibility that Jesus himself had once visited this site, which was held in such awe by the ancient Britons and others who were drawn to the mysterious monument from across Europe 'in ancient times'.

From Stonehenge, Dennis Price's unique and unparalleled investigation led him to the location of the world's first church in Glastonbury and then to other remote landscapes and ancient structures around western Britain. The original evidence he unearthed from a fresh examination of these sites and from a close study of contemporary accounts written in Latin, Greek, Aramaic and Phoenician astonished him, and led directly to the writing of this undeniably ground-breaking book.

An archaeologist, writer and performer, he is an expert on Stonehenge, with a particular interest in the ancient myths, legends and historical accounts of these enigmatic ruins. He was the last archaeologist to set foot inside Silbury Hill, Britain's only pyramid, before work began to seal it off forever, while he's collaborated with specialists and experts in their field the world over in an attempt to uncover the real history of these monuments that continue to captivate people the world over, thousands of years after they were first built.

He currently lives in Devon, in the south of England, with his wife, two children and black dog.
