Graham Phillips has been one of Britain’s bestselling non-fiction authors for over thirty years. In the 1980s, after working as a radio journalist and broadcaster for the BBC and editing a popular monthly magazine, Graham turned his talents to investigating unsolved historical mysteries. He has since written sixteen books that are in print around the world and have been published in many different languages.His first books were co-authored with Martin Keatman and from the start the authors adopted a unique and adventurous approach to their research. In the 1990s Graham and Martin searched for the truth behind the timeless legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood. In 1992 King Arthur — The True Story became a bestseller when the authors uncovered dramatic proof of Arthur’s historical existence, and three years later their discovery of an ancient burial site that may have been King Arthur’s tomb was filmed live for national television. Graham and Martin’s Robin Hood — The Man Behind the Myth, published in 1995, not only showed that the Sherwood outlaw was an historical figure; it also revealed a true story that was in every way as spellbinding as the romantic myth. Graham and Martin’s last book together, The Shakespeare Conspiracy, created academic upheaval and spawned an international controversy by uncovering sensational evidence to show that William Shakespeare had not only been a playwright, he also worked as a government spy.
Graham Phillips has never been afraid of controversy. In 1995 he made headlines around the world, and created a storm in the Vatican that even involved the Pope himself, when he discovered a lost artifact that may have been the original Holy Grail. His first solo book, The Search for the Grail, told the fascinating story of this modern-day Grail quest.
In the late 90s Graham turned his attention to biblical mysteries. In 1998 his international bestseller, Act of God, revealed startling new evidence that the plagues of the Exodus and the parting of the Red Sea were real historical events — the result of the largest volcanic eruption in the history of civilization. In 2000 The Marian Conspiracy told of Graham’s search for the secret tomb of the Virgin Mary and investigated a Church cover-up at the very highest level. His book, The Moses Legacy, examines the work of eminent archaeologists and biblical scholars, and pieces together remarkable evidence to show that the Old Testament is far closer to the truth than many historians believe.
Graham’s latest book is Strange Fate — An Extraordinary True Story of Paranormal Discovery, along with Jodi Russell. What began as an historical investigation into a Victorian secret society and its strange esoteric beliefs, soon became an astonishing adventure of extraordinary discovery, and a search for a mysterious artifact, "The Heart of the Rose," believed to hold awesome supernatural power.
Other books include: Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant, Merlin and the Discovery of Avalon in the New World, The End of Eden which investigates an ancient comet that may have shaped civilization, The Lost Tomb of King Arthur which further examines the historicity of the legendary king, and Wisdom keepers of Stonehenge and The Mystery of Doggerland, which examine the mysterious Megalithic culture that built Stonehenge.
Critics often wonder how Graham has managed to solve so many historical enigmas. The answer is that he employs a hands-on, investigative approach to his research that gives him a cutting-edge advantage. By collating evidence from many different subject areas, such as archaeology, history and Egyptology, he is able to gain an overall perspective that those tied to a particular discipline are often prevented from doing. More often than not, he has simply applied himself to a mystery that academics have been unwilling, or even afraid to touch.
