Icke moved to Ryde on the Isle of Wight in 1982.
Icke's turquoise period followed an experience by a burial site in Sillustani, Peru, in 1991.
In his 2001 documentary about Icke, Jon Ronson cited this cartoon, "Rothschild" (1898), by Charles Léandre, arguing that Jews have long been depicted as lizard-like creatures who are out to control the world.
