.Book 1 and 2

..Lord Shiva the destroyer is the real power behind the repeated appearance of the sword Excalibur in the world. In this first of two volumes, the author recalls the King Arthur tradition, then goes on to Godefroi de Bouillons and Joan of Arc. But Jesus, in Kashmir as King Pravarasena gets his turn also. Book 2 of the first volume presents King David as a youth who takes the sword from Goliath, and gives it to his son Nathan, who takes it to India. David is as famous as a lover [Jonathan and Bath-sheba] as he is as a warrior. Controversial subjects, with many notes and references.

Book 3 and 4

 .....Instead of being the non-hero of the New Testament, an impotent old man who takes care of the Virgin Mary and her divine Son Jesus, Joseph in the "Kings of Kashmira" version of his life is a king, the "White Rajah". A descendent of Solomon's brother Nathan, he arranged for his eldest son Jesus to replace him as prince Meghavahana. Sandhimati-Joseph commutes in Lord Shiva's vimana to also function as a Jewish Essene Messiah. While in Judea, he is crucified by the Romans. Jesus replaces his father as a real king of Kashmir also as a commuter. He is purposefully crucified by Shiva's request. This history found in "Kings of Kashmira" agrees with the newly found "Judas Gospel" in that Judas' betrayal was part of a larger plan. As king of Kashmir before and after his crucifixion, Jesus as Pravarasena loves to use his jeweled sword. And travel through time and space! pages. 6 x 9 f

HISTORICAL NOVELS

are, as scholars, literary students, and librarians are well aware, not actually "history" -- but based on "history" in that the heroes and heroines (or villains and villainesses) of these stories are generally assumed to have lived and acted at some time in the past, either as described in the Bible or other Religious traditions, or in secular history.

In the case of Dr. Holt's books, MARY MAGDALENE AND THE SWORD EXCALIBUR -- and his much longer series of books titled "THE SWORD OF PRAVARASENA OF KASHMIR", it is assumed that there was indeed a giant named "Goliath" that King David of Israel fought as a shepherd boy before he became king, and overcame by using stones from his sling before the watching armies of the Philistines and Israel -- and that Goliath's sword was actually used by David while he was fleeing King Saul in the wilderness.

It is assumed that such a sword would have been preserved by David and his family, and inherited by one of his sons. In this case, Dr. Holt uses "editorial license" to presume that the son of David who came to own the sword was Nathan, the brother of Solomon and son of David by Bathsheba, the former wife of Uriah the Hittite.

Solomon, in the Books of Chronicles, uses members of his family and relatives as his ministers and executives throughout the land of Israel, but strangely missing in this lineup is Nathan, his own blood brother.    Meanwhile Solomon is importing gold, ivory, monkeys, peacocks, and one assumes spices from India by means of a navy of ships built for David and Solomon by King Hiram of Tyre.   Here, Dr. Holt presumes, is where we can find the missing Nathan, in the important position of directing in India, and then Kashmir, Solomon's far-flung import-export activities.

Nathan has a family, also living in India and then Kashmir, and their genealogy is the genealogy given in Luke chapter 4. After 1000 years of names the genealogy ends with Joseph son of Heli -- still living in Kashmir as did his ancestor, Nathan son of David.  If Dr. Holt's research is correct -- Joseph's local name was Sandhimati, who as king of Kshmir was also known as the "White Rajah".  As Pravarasena, Jesus Christ still owned the Kashmiri branch of King David's family's proudest possession, the sword once belonging to the Philistine giant Goliath.

By the days of King Arthur, who if we are to believe local Cornwall traditions, was a descendent of both Jesus and Mary Magdalene, this ancient sword was found by the youthful Arthur either partly embedded in a stone, or passed to him by the "Lady of the Lake."  And until Arthur foolishly left it behind when fighting Modred, the sword made him practically invincible in battle.

For the further adventures of this famous sword, as imagined by the author of "Mary Magdalene and the Sword Excalibur" I suggest you read this book.  Or one of the other books written by Dr. Bob Holt using these same suppositions.
