Features: Ralph Ellis inherited from his father a passion for religion and history, which he continuously nurtured throughout his formative years. This passion led him to write a thesis on the New Testament of the Bible during his student days, which was later incorporated into the book Jesus, the Last Pharaoh with minimal revisions. Ellis decided to compile his papers on archaeology and theology into a book for the general public primarily because many scholars and popular writers are reluctant to frankly explain complex theological themes, resulting in the truth being artificially obscured. This situation is natural and understandable—in academia and theological institutions, scholars may protect their own positions, careers, and livelihoods—but such academic protection mechanisms can hinder independent and radical thinking.
Ralph Ellis's professional career initially involved working as a computer programmer and analytical engineer in London, but he later found an opportunity to expand his career in the aviation industry, training to become a pilot. He is now a captain of large jet aircraft, frequently traveling across Europe. Therefore, Ellis's financial situation fully supports his intellectual independence, and his work has allowed him to travel throughout Europe and other essential destinations for studying ancient history and theology in Asia and Africa. Ellis excels at interpreting historical and religious issues from an extremely independent and personalized perspective, and he makes unique judgments about the documentary materials obtained by objectively considering the political environment in which ancient scribes worked.
Ellis has two children. Despite his busy flying schedule, meticulous family life, and diligent writing, he still manages to find time for his hobbies—mountaineering and gliding. When asked about his beliefs, Ralph Ellis describes himself as one of the few "atheists who believe in God," which reflects the essence of his independent spirit and attitude. If readers can understand this pun-like riddle, they can be said to have grasped the basics of all belief systems in the world.
To date, Ralph Ellis has published two series of popular works on archaeology and theology: The Architects of the Universe and K2 and the Pyramids, as well as Jesus, the Last Pharaoh and The Great Storm and the Exodus. These books have caused a sensation in academia and shocked the world upon their release. In The Great Storm and the Exodus, Ellis, with his extensive knowledge of theology, Egyptology, Jewish studies, archaeology, linguistics, and astronomy, offers a bold and entirely new interpretation of the Exodus in the Bible, creating a vivid and groundbreaking narrative that diverges from traditional history, refreshing perspectives, and inspiring endless thought. In the deeply influential Western countries shaped by the Bible, this book has rightly become a bestseller due to its profound impact, sparking a trend of reevaluating the essence and origins of Western religion.
At the end of 2002, Ellis published an epic 400-page work, Solomon—The Eagle of Sheba, synthesizing the latest archaeological findings. It rewritten both biblical and secular history, hailed as the most radical and startlingly conclusive biblical history book ever published.
