LYNN PICKNETT
AND
CLIVE PRINCE

Lynn and Clive are authors and speakers on the paranormal, the Western magical tradition and religious and historical mysteries. Their most influential book is The Templar Revelation (1997), which, as Dan Brown acknowledged, gave him the ‘Big Idea’ for The Da Vinci Code. Lynn and Clive have cameos in the movie.
Their books also include Turin Shroud: How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History; The Forbidden Universe: The Occult Origins of Science and the Search for the Mind of God and When God Had a Wife: The Fall and Rise of the Sacred Feminine in the Judeo-Christian Tradition.
They have given talks about their books and other subjects all over the world and often appear as expert commentators on TV documentaries such as Forbidden History, History’s Most Famous Spies and Ancient Aliens.
But they never forget their roots: they met at a paranormal research group, and Lynn grew up in a haunted house.
