Lawton, Ian

Ian Lawton was born in 1959. Formerly a chartered accountant and IT consultant, he turned his back on the commercial world in his mid-thirties to become a full-time writer-researcher on ancient civilizations. His first book, Giza: The Truth (Virgin Books, 1999) co-authored with Chris Ogilvie-Herald, sold over 20,000 copies and gained widespread acclaim. He has a growing reputation for thorough scholarship and an innovative approach to revisionist history, and has lectured about his work extensively in both the UK and US. He currently lives on the South Coast of Britain.
