Jamaica and England, he studied at University College London, receiving
degrees in Architecture, Planning and Building. He also attended courses in
Anthropology, discovering two life-long pursuits and associated interests, the
archaeology of ancient cultures and the faiths of the world. Spending
countless hours in the libraries and museums of London, he researched
original texts of the scriptures of major religions, examined the artifacts of the
great civilizations, and pored over exhibits in the halls of natural history and
science. He has taught at the tertiary level and given lectures on empires of
the past.
Traveling extensively in all six continents and living in four of them, he has
explored whenever possible the relevant ruins, from Egypt to Peru, India to
Mexico, including many off the beaten track. During a working stay in Israel
he spent every free day analyzing historical sites from northern Galilee to the
Dead Sea, and made similar investigations while serving as a relief aid worker
in Muslim countries. Using local transport and hiking across southeastern
Europe, from Italy through Greece and Turkey, he traced the footsteps of the
apostle Paul, examining the remains of ancient Rome, Athens, Corinth,
Ephesus, Pergamon and Laodicea. Also in support of his writing he has
researched pertinent antiquities in the museums of Greece, Rome, Cairo, the
tombs of Egypt, the Paris Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of New York,
the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City and several aboriginal museums
in Canada, Australia, Central and South America. He presently lives with his
wife and son on Vancouver Island.weniger sehen
