Philip Gardiner is a marketing specialist and company director. He has spent the last 16 years reading and researching the history of man, science, religion and philosophy, and believes that much of orthodox history is based upon propaganda in one form or another. His search for the truth has led him to uncover historical evidence which had previously gone unrecognized. He is the author of the highly successful The Shining Ones: The Worlds Most Powerful Secret Society Revealed.
