MY NEW BOOK - OUT IN MID MARCH 2025 - AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW!

A nation under threat and a dynasty facing collapse under a much hated, heretic king. Tracing the Amarna Egyptian royal family, from Akhenaten through to Tutankhamun and the final Pharaoh Horemheb, a picture emerges of a dynasty caught up in a religious controversy and the unfolding of an unstoppable drama. This book explores the mysterious deaths of this dynasty’s pharaohs and the flight of one of its last queens, an older sister of the ill-fated Tutankhamun. Why did she flee Egypt and how? Why did she go to Spain and then Scotland? How did she come to meet her death in the West of Ireland?

“Proof that ancient Egyptians came to Britain would change human history. Great new evidence is now coming to light that makes this theory possible. Read this extraordinary new book and find out for yourself. A valuable new addition to the ancient mysteries bookshelf.”
ANDREW COLLINS, author of “Author of Tutankhamun: The Exodus Conspiracy” and Sobekneferu: The First Female Pharaoh: Sobekneferu, Goddess of the Seven Stars”

“A modern exploration inspired by the musings of 18th century antiquarians and early Irish ecclesiastical scribes, the book provides more convincing details about the mythical Egyptian princess Scota than one would have thought possible. An interesting read.”
ELLEN EVERT HOPMAN, author of “Celtic Druidry – Rituals, Techniques and Magical Practices”, “A Legacy of Druids – Conversations with Druid leaders of Britain, the USA and Canada, Past and Present”, and of other volumes

“Luke Eastwood’s latest book is an intellectually honest, rigorous, and erudite comparative analysis of the Scotia’s story. Eastwood has brought together a variety of sources which makes for a compelling, enlightening, and highly recommended read.”
DR RACHEL SCOAZEC (PhD Irish Studies), Manager of Kilderry Art, Nature and Tradition Centre, Kerry

“There is nothing more wonderful than to witness the threads of research weave together a picture of little known or obscure historical figures. One such obscure figure is Scotia. Eastwood leads the reader to Egypt, Spain, Scotland and Ireland through his thorough research in an attempt to shine a spotlight on Scotia. Despite the paucity of verifiable historical fact, the reader is presented with in-depth historical contexts that support the merging image and character of Scotia.”
PAULINE BREEN, author of “This is Brigid-Goddess & Saint”, “Maman Brigitte’ and “Brigantia”

“The true history of humanity has long been hidden from us. Thanks to the resilient work of inspired researchers and scholars, some important pieces of human history are being brought back to the surface, bringing clarity and understanding about our origins and the genetic links between different cultures on this planet. The links that can be traced back are sometimes quite remarkable. Did the ancient Egyptians make it to Scotland? And how does Tutankhamun fit in? Luke Eastwood lifts the veil on this fascinating but forgotten chapter of history. A highly recommended read.”
ELENA DANAAN, author of “The Seeders”

Reviews...

"If you love reading about ancient history, (and I don’t mean “the Romans invaded England in the 4th century and decided to stay awhile” kind of ancient but the “this person is thought to have lived in 1356 BCE” kind of ancient) then this is the book for you. Eastwood’s exploration of the royal line of Ancient Egypt is nothing short of heroic and he leaves no stone unturned in his literary archeologist efforts to research and convey the potential migration of Egyptians to Ireland and Scotland...

In this book, one chapter builds on the next, so do not skip ahead. Information from the chapter you skip is necessary for following the (proposed) timeline of Meritaten’s journey from Egypt to Spain to Scotland to Ireland. Since, as this book relates, 70% of British, Irish, and Spanish men and 50% of all Western European men are related to Tutankhamun, we know that Haplogroup R-M269 propagated there somehow. What started around the Black Sea 9500 years ago might well have pass through exactly the route and means the author proposes. My suggestion is to read the book and keep your mind open to the possibilities."
