Focussing its startling argument on lost papyrus documents
found in the tomb, Tutankhamun questions the historical
wisdom and biblical evidence of the Exodus, investigating
the issues of land ownership and occupation which are
still so typical in the Middle East today. In 1924, Howard
Carter - the discoverer of the tomb - threatened to reveal
the contents of the papyri discovered therein, but was
dissuaded. An earlier attempt to use the documents for
personal gain may have involved the Earl of Carnarvon -
Carter's aristocratic patron - who died under mysterious
circumstances in 1923. This account reveals the events
surrounding his death, as well as the fate of the missing
papyri, the origins of Zionist aspirations in Palestine
and the origin of the infamous curse of Tutankhamun. The
papyri are thought to contain a version of the Exodus
story completely at odds with that of the Bible. They
allege that those seen as Israelites under the command of
Moses were in fact made up of a band of expelled priests:
followers of the herectic king Akhenaten's fallen
monotheistic religion and a large group of mixed Asiatic
peoples. This is the most comprehensive overview and
investigation into this alluring archaeological mystery.
