Dr. John Ward

 

The Gralien Report

Residing in Egypt, Dr. John Ward has conducted numerous investigations of ancient Egyptian architecture and symbolism while also carrying out research on medieval Templarism. He was in 2006 recruited by the Knights Templar of Britannia, which is a modern Templar order affiliated with, and acknowledged by the Vatican. John’s research and its results so far led the Order to actively sponsor continuous investigations, enabling John to conduct several archaeological and historical surveys. These were focusing on the following (briefly summarized) topics:

The Egyptian temple of Medinat Habu in Thebes (Theban Necropolis) where John discovered a so far unexcavated structural foundation and explored its connecting well system and the correlation between the clear water present in one well and the green, polluted waters in the surrounding wells. This was investigated and compared with the modern day’s folklore and religious ceremonies associated with the clear water well.

Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his palace area in Thebes (Theban Necropolis). John documented a manmade lake which shows evidence of an apocalyptic disaster in the form of flooding. This investigation also brought up evidence of a most plausible association with the Biblical story of Exodus, and can thus be seen as the essence of the later Christian myth.

The results of the previous investigation led John to examine the descendants of Amenhotep III, including the heretic Akhenaton, which led to new insights into the factual existence of the Arc of the Covenant. John was here able to trace the artistic and purely practical Egyptian origin of this religious item which later was adopted by the Jewish and Christian communities. The Biblical theme of the Exodus was once more brought in and could this time be placed in correlation with a medieval map, today located in Hereford Cathedral, England, commonly referred to as Mappa Mundi.

The results of investigating the medieval map resulted in further studies of medieval Knights Templars, their churches and structures in England and France. It brought in an investigation of modern day Freemasons and their involvement in symbolism and temple architecture. It brought him to Garway Templar Church.

At Garway Church John documented and analysed a series of symbols carved in the architectural elements, which seemingly did not have anything to do with the surrounding decoration. He started a still ongoing project of investigating symbolism throughout the world.

The investigated topics presented above resulted in a full Honorary Ph. Doctorate presented through the Knights Templar of Britannia, recognized by the Vatican, for his professional dedicational work on Medieval History and Egyptology.

John has received the honour of being mentioned in various publications during his career as an independent researcher that have associations with his particular fields of expertise in archaeology and Egyptology.

During the course and duration of the Sirius Project so far, John has been instrumental in the development of various social platforms that are utilised by its team members to present their findings, results and discoveries to the general public and those who have an active participation in the overall project. This has led to the development of numerous internet sites that deal directly with the associated material on a individual basis which enables dialogue, discussion dn debate to take place on an international level with academics, non academics and independent researchers alike regards the Sirius Project’s main core of research: “Symbolism”.

Through the involvement with Q.E.A. and its affiliated ventures, John continues to offer advice and actively participate as an historical advisor to numerous professional tour companies that require his unique experience and insight, which he has gained during his multi-disciplinary career.

John is also a renowned professional dowser offering courses through Q.E.A. and Paranormal Egypt in the art of dowsing and its varied applications. Through the diverse career as an independent researcher over the past 8 years in Egypt, John has pushed the boundaries of his own spiritual path and has in doing so affiliated himself with various religious bodies and institutions in the hope of gaining further insight into mankind’s religious development and desire for immortality.
