The Truth about Archaeology's Greatest Mystery.
The tomb of Tutankhamun was undoubtedly the greatest archaeological discovery of all time, yet everyone knows this remarkable find was beset by troubles. The untimely death of Lord Carnarvon just after the opening of the tomb, and his appetite for everything occult, swiftly gave rise to rumours of a curse.
Also, the presence of certain art treasures in museums across the United States provides evidence that Howard Carter and his aristocratic patron removed priceless objects from the tomb.
What is not so well known is that among the wonderful treasures that Carter and Carnarvon unearthed were also rumoured to be papyri that held the "true account" of the biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
The existence of the controversial papyri and the background to their explosive contents is the subject of this book, which explores the age of Tutankhamun and its relationship with the biblical Exodus story.
