Ipso Facto

Ipso Facto which took a decade to research and write, takes a fresh look at biblical history, piecing together cryptic mysteries and strange clues passed down to us from antiquity. The author Don Leichel takes a scientific approach as he combs through ancient texts and codes, and examines biblical events. His painstaking research includes examination of works by reputable scientists, historians, and physical inspections of ancient archaeological sites.

Ipso Facto is the antidote to The Da Vinci Code. This work covers a wide range of topics, from evolution theory to scientific explanations for phenomena such as the Shroud of Turin, and the history and current location of the Ark of the Covenant - a chest containing tablets with the 10 commandments. The author unravels concealed messages in prophetic texts identifying Jesus as the Messiah, and uncovers numbers which provide biographical details about him. Don takes a scholarly approach in tackling some of the most challenging questions surrounding the emergence of Christianity. For example, he investigates the Star of Bethlehem using ancient precedents, modern astronomy and archaeology. This wide-ranging work provides a genuinely new perspective on a time period from the beginning of human history to the discovery of the Sign of Moses, and the Seal of Jesus Christ. These startling discoveries will be like a shining light to even the most skeptical. As thinking human being you will benefit greatly from reading this book.

Former mariner, oil industry executive and accountant, Don Leichel was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and educated in the Netherlands and Australia. He and his wife Olivia live at Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
