Cleopatra to Christ

*** New revised and expanded 2024 edition ***
*** Jesus was the great grandson of Queen Cleopatra *** Why was the birth of a poor 'carpenter' in the first century AD attended by the Persian Magi: the Persian king-makers?
Why was Jesus later known as the 'King of the Jews'? There is a great deal of evidence within the New Testament that demonstrates that Jesus was actually of royal blood. But if this is so, then from which royal family was he descended? Using many strands of contemporary evidence, Ralph Ellis has pieced together a historical jigsaw puzzle demonstrating that the biblical Jesus was directly descended from Cleopatra VII, the most famous queen of Egypt. But this is not all, for, in piecing this story together, it would seem that Jesus also had an aristocratic Roman and royal Persian ancestry too; and it is the latter bloodline element that explains the appearance of Persian Magi at his birth. But why should the New Testament authors obscure the ancestry of such an illustrious prince? Well, the gospel writers were looking for an ideal family as their role model, but this particular royal family hid a dark, unmentionable secret. Join Ralph on the incredible untold story of a king and queen who were exiled to Judaea in AD 4 - just a couple of years before the Roman taxation of Judaea, when Jesus is said to have been born.This book follows on from: 'Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs'.
