About the author
Tim Wallace-Murphy is the author of Cracking the Symbol Code and The Knights of the Holy Grail, both published by Watkins Publishing. Cracking the Symbol Code (2016) argues that Church and Renaissance art contains a hidden, heretical alternative account of Christian history, encoded in secret symbolism, and presents this reading as a counter-narrative to the orthodox Church's version of events. The Knights of the Holy Grail: The Secret History of the Knights Templar examines the Templars and the so-called Rex Deus families, covering their claimed heretical beliefs and their role in medieval building projects, the loss of the Holy Land, and, the book argues, the foundations of the modern marketplace. Both books belong to the alternative-history and esoteric-symbolism genre, aimed at readers interested in revisionist readings of Christian and Templar history rather than academic medieval scholarship.
