Jayne Ellis is a History graduate from the University of York with a deep fascination for ancient societies and the human experience that shaped them.

Serious in her research yet unafraid to voice an opinion, Jayne approaches the past with curiosity, rigour, and the occasional sharp edge, because history, after all, was never neutral.
