This novel identification has exposed new perspectives on the life of Jesus. Ellis asserts that contrary to orthodox perceptions, King Jesus and Queen Mary Magdalene were the richest couple in the Levant, owning a city-state in eastern Syrio-Jordan and a private army. The Romans wanted to impose taxes on Jesus and Mary, an imposition that provoked the Jewish Rebellion. King Jesus fought and lost that war, and so he was crucified, reprieved and placed in custody. The safest place to corral this dangerous royal rebel was in a fortress at the opposite end of the Roman Empire, which is why King Jesus was exiled to England. In those remote Romo-Celtic lands, King Jesus became famous once again, but there the locals called him and his disciples King Arthur and the twelve knights of the Last Supper Table. All research and quotations are from original sources, including the New Testament, Tanakh, Talmud, Josephus, Origen, Eusebius, Irenaeus, Herodian, Suetonius, Tacitus, Clement, Barnabas, Chretien and many others.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50126962229521,"sku":"CIN0345537181G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50349854163217,"sku":"CIN0345537181VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52958052417809,"sku":"CIN0345537181A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0345537181.jpg?v=1751227895"},{"product_id":"leopard-ascending-book-emma-jane-holloway-9781777045845","title":"Leopard Ascending","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52754985320721,"sku":"NIN9781777045845","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"hellion-s-journey-book-emma-jane-holloway-9781998655021","title":"Hellion's Journey","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52759380689169,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52759381639441,"sku":"NIN9781998655021","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-emma-jane-holloway.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
