-	:Some people call me an amateur historian. Others call me an adventurer. I see myself as an investigator.	+

-	:What do I investigate? Ancient Olympic mysteries.	+

-	:'''Biography'''	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:I grew up in the city of York. My father was a professor of archaeology, my mum was a professor of history. When I was 10 years old, they took me on an "educational holiday" — to the ruins at Ancient Olympia.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:Most of the tourists were paying attention to the best preserved parts — the Temple of Zeus, the palaestra colonnade, the entrance to the stadium. I was more interested in the piles of rubble, the places no one was looking.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:My parents didn't even notice I had left their side. It was two hours before they found me digging through the dirt. They were quite mad at me for running off — until I showed them what I'd found — a tiny bronze statue.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:I turned the statue in to the archaeological museum, and their researchers later authenticated it as a lost work of Pheidias, the greatest of all ancient Greek sculptors. The researchers were thrilled, my parents were proud as could be, and the media dubbed me a young hero of history.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:I've been an avid fan and researcher of the Ancient Olympics ever since.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:In recent years, I've become especially interested in the "lost history" of the Olympics — the stories that most experts dismiss as urban legends, without even bothering to look for evidence. I ask the questions that most historians and archaeologists have never even tried to answer.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:In the past few years, I've spent a small fortune traveling the world, following up on the leads that everyone else wants to ignore.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:My first book chronicling these investigations, The Lost Olympics: Forgotten Mysteries and Urban Legends from Ancient Greece, will be published in late 2008.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:In the meanwhile, I'm pleased to share some of the stories with you on this site, through my new podcast series "The Lost Olympics."	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:'''Contact me'''	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:I'm always looking for new leads on mysterious artifacts and strange discoveries.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:And if you have your own theories about Ancient Olympic history, I'd love to hear them.	+
-	:<br>	+
-	:Email me: '''thelostgamesSPLATgmail.com'''	+
