How was Pontius Pilate blackmailed?

Why did Tiberius Caesar behead Pilate?

Who was Joseph of Arimathea?

Pilate took fifty armed men into the streets after the crucifixion to find the dead man whom his wife had told him had risen from the dead. The ancient conversation between the resurrected Jesus and Pilate comes out of dusty, forgotten libraries. Pilate and his wife, Claudia, converted to early Christianity and have risen to the status of Sainthood in many religious traditions today.

Jesus was born in the year 7 BC, which means we really live in the year 2006, not 1999. His family descended from King David and was wealthy. He was not the poor Carpenter inferred to in Bible stories.

These, and many other surprises are found in the books written by Dr. Glenn Kimball, Hidden Stories of the Childhood of Jesus, and, co-written with David Stirland, Hidden Politics of the Crucifixion. These historical accounts are taken from ancient manuscripts, still found in museums and libraries to this day.

When Kimball called The Art Bell Show to suggest an interview, he was told he had five minutes to make his case. One hour later, he was told he would have one hour on the show, and would be cut off if the audience wasn't interested. They were concerned the topic was religious and didn't understand the historical content.

The audience was so fascinated, he was on the show for five full hours! That first interview was October 23, 1998. The show's phones were paralyzed the next two days by thousands of calls. Art Bell hosted Dr. Kimball again December 11, and after five hours said, "I had better get to the phones, or I will be crucified."

Later Art used the interview on the Best of Art Bell programs a couple of times. This was the most listened to program in Art Bell history!

The response to this show clearly evidences the need of the American people to hear about the history in these two books and a yearning passion for this material that is unprecedented in our day. This was an interview between a believing historian with no hidden religious agenda and the greatest interview host on the air today. The stories are real and documented, hidden in our cultures and traditions. The public is hungry for the nonfiction version of Jesus, which vindicates their own traditions separately. The tears shed that night and in subsequent weeks have filled Americans with a renewed hope on a level and from a direction that they never expected. The Hidden Stories are being told at long last.

Dr. Glenn Kimball has collected ancient manuscripts over his lifetime. He taught at Southern Illinois University while earning his doctorate in Communications. He has been a talk show host and guest on over fifty radio stations, including Art Bell, Lauralee, CBS with Elliot Stein and television with Tanya Mock on syndicated television in the Southwest.

There are enough ancient manuscripts to write a hundred books, however only two more are planned. They will be about the family of Jesus after the crucifixion and about King Arthur, the ninth generation descendant of the family of Jesus (House of David).

Few know about the generations of descendants and many famous  people from the family of Jesus. Constantine the Caesar was one. The Royalty of Europe in history and today are part of the family.

Ancient people before the 12th century travelled much more than we thought. Jesus Himself spent a great deal of time in Nepal, India, ancient Briton and other places travelling on the boats of His foster-father Joseph of Arimathea.

Joseph of Arimathea was entitled Noblis Decurio by Caesar, was a Provincial Roman Senator and the third wealthiest man on the earth at that time. Caesar knew him personally, long before the crucifixion. Imprisoned by the Sadducees, he was removed from a locked room in Jerusalem and placed in his home in Galilee, by another miracle of Jesus.

Hundreds of stories like these survive in ancient manuscripts, ignored by the historians who have shaped history as surely as an artist freely uses color.

The colors left untouched come from dusty libraries and beneath the sands of the deserts.
