This is the author note, which is published at the end of the book. It’s my chance to pull back the curtain a little and tell you what parts of the story are true, and where I’ve taken dramatic liberties. As a world traveller, I love bringing real places, cultures and history into my stories, and I feel it would be a mistake not to share the truth with you.

Be aware, there are spoilers here! I’d suggest you don’t read this until you’ve finished the book.

Thank you for reading The Giza Protocol.

I hope you’ve enjoyed continuing Eden’s adventure, this time taking her to the land of sand and pharaohs—Egypt!

I’ve loved bringing Eden and her friends to life. It’s been my pleasure and privilege to entertain you for a few hours. 

If you read the author’s note at the back of The Ark Files, I think you know what’s coming next … I can tell you that there are parts of the story you’ve just read that could well be true. 

Yet again, the idea for this story came after talking with a friend of mine, who will remain anonymous. He has spent his life researching many mysteries, including those featured in The Ark Files and The Giza Protocol. He really is the sort of friend every author needs!

It wasn’t until I looked into it, though, that I realized how little evidence there is for the mainstream view of much of our history. Take the Pyramids of Giza as an example; at school we learned they were giant mausoleums built for pharaohs. That makes sense until you learn that no bodies were ever found inside. Also, a few hundred miles further south, Pharaohs were found buried in the Valley of the Kings. Their tombs are decorated in the most wonderful hieroglyphs, which somehow still retain their color today. There are no hieroglyphs inside the Pyramids of Giza. Clearly this isn’t proof that the pyramids weren’t used as tombs, but it’s enough doubt to make you think about it twice, right?

There are also a growing number of historians who are coming around to the idea that the pyramids and other structures in the world are much older than commonly believed. These historians suggest that the geology does not match the established view. This not only throws into question why such structures were built, but who built them in the first place. I won’t go into details here as we’ll explore that in Eden’s next adventure. In the meantime, should you be interested in alternative opinions, look up the works of Ian Lawton, Andrew Collins, Robert Bauval, and Graham Hancock.

The Sun Temple appearing in the receding waters of Lake Nasser is true. Unfortunately, with the changing climates of our planet, this sort of thing happens frequently. The temple isn’t in the place I said it was here, and nor does it contain instructions to find the Hall of Records—or at least, I don’t think it does. But who really knows? 

As for the Hall of Records appearing beneath the Giza Plateau, this was originally envisioned by Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) who was an American clairvoyant. One day, during his meditations, he pictured being led into the hall and coined the phrase “Hall of Records.” Although no one had called it this before, many had referred to this mythical place as “Seth’s Treasure Vault.” Ancient historians such as Herodotus and Flavius Josephus describe a completely different history for the Giza Plateau than modern historians do. Then there is also the Book of Enoch and now lost pages of the Book of Giants which are being translated, and some pages which are contained in the Dead Sea Scroll texts. It seems that, bit by bit, ancient historians’ writings are being vindicated, yet modern historians still choose to ignore these facts and prefer to guess rather than rely on writings closer to the periods in question.

As for Little Mo’s suggestion that the Giza Plateau was a representation of our Solar System, that might well be the case. Twenty years ago, Terence Maxwell proposed that the Giza Plateau was a representation of the Solar System accounting for all ten pyramids in correct order as follows, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune plus one trans-Neptunian object. We know that NASA and astronomers have been trying to locate a 10th planet for some time in the region of the constellation of Libra. Though maybe more importantly, this work also showed an 11th anti-typical pyramid that was also mentioned by ancient historians. Giorgio Tsoukalos has suggested that Teotihuacan and Stonehenge are representations of the Solar System, so why not the Giza Plateau?

What about the Ark of the Covenant and Stable Element 115? It’s true that scientists are constantly searching for a stable element that can be used in power generation. Of course, for the last seventy years we’ve been able to split uranium atoms during a fission process to create carbon-free power—we call this nuclear power and create a good chunk of the world’s electricity that way. The problem is that uranium is incredibly unstable. It is also effective for just a tiny percentage of its life span, then it has to be kept somewhere for several hundred thousand years before it’s safe again. On the side, that’s an incredible thing to consider. The generally accepted age of the pyramids is just a tiny fraction of the amount of the time it takes some nuclear waste to become safe. A stable element with a shorter half-life, is ‘the holy grail’ solution for this. Imagine a situation where your car didn’t need fuel, or your house could run for years without connection to an energy grid. It wouldn’t just be environmentally fantastic, but it would improve the lives of millions.

The cynic in me wonders, however, how long the Raymond Kings of this world will stand in the way of this change. Did Nikola Tesla find a way to produce free energy for the world, only for it to be suppressed by the powers that be because there would be no way to charge the population for it? 

Linking this to the Ark of the Covenant was a stretch, but the Ark was said to have some electricity-like characteristics: people who touched it were struck down (like an electric shock), it reportedly floated above the ground like a giant electromagnet, and the construction of it was a bit like a modern-day battery. It seemed too good not to put the two of them together here. 

This also plays on the idea that the pyramids themselves were used in power generation. Christopher Dunn proposes a very intriguing theory regarding the function of the Queen’s Chamber, which is buried deep within The Great Pyramid. There are two narrow shafts which lead down to this chamber. In one of these shafts, traces of hydrochloric acid (HCl) have been found and in the other, zinc chloride (ZnCl2). Mixing these two substances together produces hydrogen (H2) gas. Dunn suggests that the Queen’s Chamber was the engine of a great power plant, where hydrogen was created to be turned into piezoelectric or electromagnetic energy. 

Element 115 was made infamous by Robert Lazar and his revelations regarding Area 51. However, Moscovium is a synthetic element with the symbol Mc and atomic number 115. It was first synthesized in 2003 by a joint team of Russian and American scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. In December 2015, it was recognized as one of four new elements. Michio Kaku an American theoretical physicist has produced some good podcasts and programs related to Element 115, which are worth a view.

Is any of it actually true? Honestly, I don’t know. But it could be, and that makes a very cool story, right?

In January 2023 I took a trip to Egypt to research for this book. I had in fact written the book’s first draft by then, but the trip helped me refine all of the details. My time in Egypt also helped me breathe more life into the characters here too, as they were inspired by the people I met on the way. I’ve put together a guide to my trip, including photos of the locations that inspired these settings and travel recommendations, should you want to make a trip there. If you are able, I would recommend it. It feels like such a shame to me that some people still believe places like Egypt are unsafe to visit. The people we met on our travels there were some of the kindest and most hospitable I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting on the road. 

Head here to check out my travel recommendations:

Egypt is a wonderful and fascinating place to visit. It’s full of history, stories, myths, and legends—which makes it the perfect place for a writer like me. 

Back to the person who inspired this story. He prefers his anonymity for now. He’s working on something in the background, which could be very interesting. 

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I can’t wait to see you again soon with Eden’s next instalment, perhaps it will be Eden who unveils the physical evidence to the world…
