The author claims the truth is that not only was the birth of Jesus widely expected throughout the Middle East, but that Christianity itself has its deepest roots in the "pagan" mysteries of Egypt, Persia and Mesopotamia.

Industry Reviews

'Behold, there came wise men from the East of Jerusalem, saying 'Where is he that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen his Star in the East'.' The journey of the Magi is one of the best-loved stories in the Bible, yet mystery surrounds the identity of the three kings. Who were they, where did they come from, and what was the mysterious star they followed? For more than 25 years, Adrian Gilbert, co-author of The Orion Mystery, has been fascinated by this legend and has conducted historical, archaeological and astronomical research in order to solve the mystery. In this book he brings us his startling solution. Gilbert argues, compellingly if convolutedly, that the birth of Jesus was widely expected throughout the East, for the Magi were part of a brotherhood which had been guiding civilizations since the time of the Pyramids, their secret knowledge preserved in monuments scattered across the East and aligned with various significant constellations. More than that, Christianity has its roots in Egypt, Persia and Mesopotamia. Gilbert argues his case skilfully, suggesting that the secrets of the Magi are still with us, brought to the West by Ouspensky and Gurdjieff. For anyone in search of secret knowledge, this book is a must. (Kirkus UK)
