Product Description
Book One: A Reconstruction of Jesus' roots and family history. The Bible says that the infant Jesus was visited by the Magi of the East, and that he was educated in Egypt. Seeming to be of royal blood, he was crowned King of the Jews. The inference from these sparse facts is that Jesus was probably of both Egyptian and Persian royal blood, but that he was exiled to Judaea in about 4 AD. In fact, there was a royal family in the early first century AD that fits all the requirements to produce this scion, though only known about for hundreds of years. Scota: Egyptian Queen of the Scots: Six hundred years ago, Walter Bower set out to record the known history of the Irish and Scottish people. Drawing on records from the first millennium AD, the astounding account he wrote maintained that the Irish and Scottish people were descended from Queen Scota, who was an Egyptian princess. It is from Scota and her husband Gaythelos that the names for the Scottish and Gaelic people were derived. It has generally been assumed that this account is mythological; however, Ellis has amassed sufficient evidence to demonstrate that it is true history, and that the Irish and Scots people were descended from a daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaton. Includes 12-page color section.

An interesting series of connections. Would we had confirmation.
Most entertaining and well followed through.
 Ever More Radical and Tedious Books in the Ellis Universe on the Hyksos Rulers Across Space and Time February 7, 2008

I read the first edition of 2006 of "Scota: Egyptian Queen of the Scots" (aka an added "Ireland and Scotland were first settled by the descendants of an Egyptian pharaoh and his queen."). As Ralph Ellis revises his books quite frequently, be sure to get the newest edition and keep in mind that some of my criticism may be invalid in later editions.
This 5th part of this Hyksos-series by Ralph Ellis harbors the same amount of revelations with a similar touch of conditional trustworthiness as the other parts. Whatever sounds logical in this book, be aware that you are lead by the universe of Ralph Ellis' revisionist history, he is not taking that incredibly serious himself: He is revising even himself occasionally, sometimes admitting that this briefly, that you will miss it, when you blink, sometimes not mentioning it at all. (Keep attention to the changing derivation of the Madonna(s)/Mary(s) from Isis.) The biggest self-revision in this book is his blithe disregard for the very major thesis of this entire franchise of as of yet (early 2008) half a dozen books, that the Hyksos weren't migrants to Egypt, but regular Egyptians (who were expelled for religious separation). In fact, he now wonders, wether Akhenaton may have went into exile to GREECE. Previously, he had revealed to us that Akhenaton would be Moses' brother (and as such seeking exile elsewhere as known). (By the way, a more convincing reasoning does Ahmed Osman in Moses and Akhenaten: The Secret History of Egypt at the Time of the Exodus, suggesting THESE two to be the same person). The series starts with Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs, the previous part is Eden in Egypt and the next one is "Cleopatra to Christ", which is attached to this edition (see below).
However, for indulging in sporadic racism, I have to subtract half a star. Racism may be the motivation to claim Mary wasn't black-skinned or it may be lack of information or a surplus of wrong information. However, what Ellis writes on pages 15 and 16 on this issue, gushes with racism in every sentence as typical as it gets, while denying it at the same time. Which includes his terminology (the n-word), his hiding behind the popular wrath of overzealous political correctness (which had been dead since more than a decade anyway) and suggesting Nefertiti couldn't have been black, because her ("Berlin") bust is beautiful. And not that dark-skinned. Yet, look at the title page of We Ain't No Niggas! Exposing the Deception of YOUR World History Education and catch a nice view of Tutankhamun, who is her son (according to orthodox Egyptology) or another very close relative (according to the Ellis universe). The problem with both authors' assertions is: depicted skin colors in ancient Egypt may be real - or symbolic in religious context. Both historic figures have been depicted in varying skin colors. And yes, all are beautiful... He is averring early Mary and Child have been depicted black in Europe because the Illuminati wanted to present a coded message against the Vatican that the iconic figures came from Egypt, which has an indigenous name translating as black. Supposedly not named after the people living there (as in neighbouring Ethiopia, the land of the "burnt faces" according to the Greeks, I may add), but because the soil of the Nile's banks is black. If all of that sounds like a fairy tale already, here comes the icing: The Illuminati identified the Black Madonna with Mary Magdalene who is also Cinderella. At this point I banged my head on the table, not knowing yet that in the attached sequel I would have to read about linguistic connections to Rapunzel. And Ellis calls Afrocentrist scientists - real ones - non-sensical and desperate! Oh, please turn to page 88 and enjoy the picture of the blond-wigged Egyptians. Coincidentally, these Egyptians are pitch black, which must have escaped Ralph Ellis... Instead he presents European Renaissance paintings of Christian icons as evidence of ancient Egyptian/Palestinian hair colors. No further questions. All of that doesn't come as a surprise after the more blatant racism in the immediate prequel "Eden in Egypt". There's also a reference to "Dub-linn" and "Black-pool". (The book's premise is that Akhenaton's daughter went into "British" exile. An Egyptian connection in principal is actually less fancifull than it sounds after public school indoctrination.) For a far better explanation for British names of landscapes and people with Black connotations read the Two-volume classic Ancient and Modern Britons: Volume One (Ancient & Modern Britons).
In a similar vein, Ellis doesn't find any nice words for the (then intended) UK law against Incitement to Religious Hatred. There could be criticism in the wording and/or intention and/or use of such a law. However, Ellis has more intrinsic problems. No wonder, this book may be of interest for the prosecutor (attorney) under such a law. At the very least, Ellis is gravely insulting Muslims (and Catholics), especially in the attached sequel. He probably intended to stir a scandal and soar sales by controversy.
The book is more on the connection as such, especially based on linguistics, than on any potential life of Egyptians in the British Isles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to sell a book with the title "Cleopatra to Christ: Jesus was the Great Grandson of Cleopatra"? (Aka with the Roman numerals "VII." at the end.) With an erotic cover (not content) and by attaching it to another book of more sound appearance. The latter is the reason, why I read this book, as I was specifically interested in the Egyptian-Irish-Scottish connection, not knowing about the author's very liberal fetish for revelations, largely based on linguistics/folk etymology, when I ordered it. Everyone should know that if a book starts with: "But in the end, despite all of the evidence, only the reader can decide if the case has been proven", that the author doesn't necessarily take his own words all too seriously. This book was especially tediously to read, as hypothized linguistic name connections are strung together seemingly endlessly.
Considering the religious content, Ellis didn't impede himself with theological concerns, as usual, e.g. averring that Jesus was after a literal kingship of power and dunza (money), something, he explicitly taught against for important reasons. Ellis' understanding of the phrases such as "to become like a child" is also not satisfactory. It isn't enough to pore over dictionaries, if it is necessary to overstand the cultural context of idioms in old languages. For that read the far superior books on the Aramaic language in reference to the Bible by Rocco A. Errico, e.g. Let There Be Light: The Seven Keys or Setting a Trap for God: The Aramaic Prayer of Jesus.
For a much better, no less controversial and much more grippingly written book on the surviving descendents of Cleopatra VII, read The Lost Treasure of King Juba: The Evidence of Africans in America before Columbus.
"Cleopatra to Christ" repeats both: The racism and typos of the immediate two prequels in this as of yet six-part mini-series. Apparently no one told Ellis before that he has trouble spelling especially the word "through", leaving out the r, which turns it into another word. Quite annoying, please get a proof reader for the next book.
