Book Description

July 23, 2003
Shows how a desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis

• Reveals that Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings was designed not to keep intruders out, but to trap something inside

• Provides forensic evidence proving that the mask believed to be the face of Tutankhamun is actually that of his elder brother Smenkhkare

In Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, Graham Phillips explores the excavation of a mysterious and ritually desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Tomb 55, which he contends holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis. Unlike other Egyptian tombs designed to keep intruders out, Tomb 55 was constructed to keep something imprisoned within, specifically Smenkhkare, the older brother of Tutankhamun who was deemed responsible for the ten plagues in Egyptian history, to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again. The forensic findings from this tomb coupled with compelling new evidence from the polar ice caps provide sensational evidence that the parting of the Red Sea, the deaths of the first born, and the other plagues that afflicted Egypt were all actual historical events.

Core samples from the polar ice caps indicate that a gigantic volcanic eruption took place in the eastern Mediterranean around the time of Amonhotep’s reign. Other research suggests this to have been the time of the eruption that destroyed the Greek island of Thera, one of the likely locations of Atlantis, and that the subsequent cataclysm may explain the unusual lack of resistance to the new religion installed by Amonhotep’s son, Akhenaten, when he took power several years later.

Review

“Graham Phillips’s real contribution to what might be called the world of alternative ancient history is his connection of the natural disasters and ­phenomena described in Exodus with the eruption of Thera. . . . Plausibly argued.”

"An entertaining read."

From the Back Cover

“Graham Phillips’s real contribution to what might be called the world of alternative ancient history is his connection of the natural disasters and phenomena described in Exodus with the eruption of Thera. . . . Plausibly argued.”
The Times Literary Supplement

In Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, Graham Phillips explores the excavation of a mysterious and ritually desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Tomb 55, which he contends holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis. Unlike other Egyptian tombs designed to keep intruders out, Tomb 55 was constructed to keep something imprisoned within, specifically the spirit of Sekhmet, the Egyptian goddess of destruction, who was believed to have incarnated in Smenkhkare, the older brother of Tutankhamun. It was Sekhmet who, under the reign of Amonhotep III, was attributed with causing the plagues of the Exodus. The forensic findings from Tomb 55 coupled with compelling new evidence from the polar ice caps provide sensational evidence that the parting of the Red Sea, the deaths of the first born, and the other plagues that afflicted Egypt were all actual historical events.

Core samples from the polar ice caps indicate that a gigantic volcanic eruption took place in the eastern Mediterranean around the time of Amonhotep’s reign. Other research suggests this to have been the time of the eruption that destroyed the Greek island of Thera, one of the likely locations of Atlantis, and that the subsequent cataclysm may explain the unusual lack of resistance to the new monotheistic religion installed by Amonhotep’s son, Akhenaten, when he took power several years later.

GRAHAM PHILLIPS has been investigating unsolved mysteries for twenty years. The author of The Marian Conspiracy and The Moses Legacy, he lives in England.

5.0 out of 5 stars A catastrophe theory that no longer sounds so improbable., January 7, 2005
By 
This review is from: Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt: The Secret History Hidden in the Valley of the Kings (Paperback)
This is a cleverly written historical detective story set against a backdrop of in-depth and scholarly research. The author finds archaeological and scientific evidence to suggest that certain seemingly unbelievable destructive events recorded in the Old Testament really occurred. To give an example, he puts together discoveries from Egyptian tombs with geological surveys of the Mediterranean seabed to show that a huge tsunami may have thrashed the Egyptian coast in the fourteenth century BCE to cause what the Bible describes as the parting of the Red Sea in which the Pharaoh's army was drowned by a gigantic wave. This event, the book suggests, could also have devastated a civilization on the island of Crete to give rise to the legend of Atlantis. Many crazy and unfounded ideas have found their way into print concerning Atlantis and biblical mysteries in recent years but this is definitely not one of those. The author critically examines the findings of accredited archaeologists, Egyptologists and scientists in developing his hypotheses which he arrives at step by logical step. Historians today tend to shy away from sensational-sounding catastrophe theories when it comes to the decline of ancient civilizations, but following the tragic events in south Asia recently this book makes one think seriously about just how devastating natural cataclysms can really be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book  title confusing, July 14, 2004
By 
Johnmadox (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt: The Secret History Hidden in the Valley of the Kings (Paperback)
This book is a real gem. Graham Phillips' revelation that the golden face mask on the coffin of Tutankhamun does not depict the famous boy king is truly fascinating. I can't believe that no one has noticed it before. Just compare it with the famous death mask - it clearly is not the same. I also found it remarkable that no one has realized that the ten plagues of Egypt so resemble the effects of volcanic fallout before.

Keep up the good work Mr. Phillips - and keep everybody on their toes.

The only thing I don't quite understand is the title. Atlantis does not seem to have anything to do with this book, apart from on one page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Egyptian history brought back to life, December 20, 2004
By 
This review is from: Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt: The Secret History Hidden in the Valley of the Kings (Paperback)
If you were fed up with books about Ancient Egypt and never thought you would read one again, then try this. It is a really fascinating read. In short, the theme is that Exodus plagues of the Bible were true events caused by a natural catastrophe, but there is far more here that is enlightening and engaging. The author examines the period when the Exodus appears to be set - sometime in the fourteenth century BC - and, by using the records that survive from that time, he paints a vivid picture of one of the most fascinating and little understood eras of human history: when the idea of a single god first became a part of organized religion. He also proposes answers to a number of historical enigmas, such as the identity of the real Moses and the truth behind the Atlantis legend, and introduces a new mystery of his own - that the famous facemask of Tutankhamun does not represent the king at all but his scheming brother. In my opinion, this last riddle alone makes the book well worth reading.
