Tut-Ankh-Amen: Living Image of the Lord [Paperback]

Moustafa Gadalla (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1997

This book provides the overwhelming evidence from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Talmud, and the Bible itself, that Tut-Ankh-Amen was the historical character of Jesus. The book examines the details of Tut's birth, life, death, resurrection, family roots, religion, teachings, etc., which were duplicated in the biblical account of Jesus. The book also reveals the world's greatest conspiracy and cover-up, that re-created the character of Jesus, living in another time (Roman era) and another place (Palestine, Israel.)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Living Image of the Lord" is the translated meaning of King Tut's birth name. King Tut was called the spiritual Son of God and the Messiah/Christ meaning the "anointed one", who is "the King. History has no evidence of the New Testament story of the birth, life, and death of Jesus and there is an expanse of evidence that Jesus lived many centuries earlier. Tut-Ank-Amen: The Living Image of the Lord reveals history's greatest conspiracy and cover-up to recreate the character of Jesus, living in another place and another time. Powerful evidence derived from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Talmud, and the Bible are thought-provoking and call for a reexamination of basic assumptions as the historical person, his teachings, his life and death and resurrection are examined from a unique perspective to reveal the relationships between Jesus of Nazareth and King Tut of Egypt. -- Midwest Book Review

This book helps those at a crossroads in their spiritual quest to take another look at their Christian faith. -- Rachel Naba, Editor, The Chicago Firefly, July, 2001

1.0 out of 5 stars Ahmed Osman ripped off, June 25, 1998

This review is from: Tut-Ankh-Amen: Living Image of the Lord (Paperback)

Yet another of this author's bulleted lists of unsubstantiated facts. Ahmed Osman's work is stripped to a few sentences and presented as fact with no backing. And if you've read Gadalla's first work, Historical Deception, you may notice you are reading a carbon copy of some of the chapers in it, repackaged and retitled.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1.5 Stars for the Grave Copycatting of Someone Elses' Work, December 12, 2007

By

This review is from: Tut-Ankh-Amen: Living Image of the Lord (Paperback)

In 1992 a book was published in the UK with the title "The House of the Pharaos" (Listed in this book as "The House of the Messiah"). By now it has been re-published in the US as Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs: The Essene Revelations on the Historical Jesus. In 1997 Moustafa Gadalla published a book on the same issue, the one reviewed here. As I am familiar with both authors and appreciated the previous one, respectively some of the previous ones I had read, I read the two books of above in tandem in order to compare them. I have to say, I am deeply shocked about the ever deteriorating integrity of Moustafa Gadalla and severely concerned for the infringement of Osman's copyright. Moustafa Gadalla wasn't merely influenced by Ahmed Osman, he copied his work. As in: even the very words. Just having have read Osman's book before, I felt caught in a continuous déjà vu warp. The only thing he has done is to downsize Osman's some 300 text pages to a some 130 pages booklet. Smaller in size and bigger in the letters, that's probably further dividable at least by 2 compared to Osman's text pages. I am amazed upon reading two pages of bibliography supposedly used for Gadalla's book. In reality, the three books of Osman listed should have sufficed, maybe two others for the epilogue. (Small sections have been plagiarised from Osman's Moses and Akhenaten: The Secret History of Egypt at the Time of the Exodus as sick). The only section besides the epilogue and part of the brief introduction not having been penned by Osman before (that I am aware of) is a 3-page insert about Easter and Egyptian easter eggs. As I have rated Osman's original with 3.5 stars, I cannot help, but have to subtract further: For the audacity of copying. For delivering not even a quarter of the original's content, including the reasoning. Which isn't really helping the controversial content of the original book. For smoothing the not altogether congenial elements of Osman's book, thereby causing the material to appear to be more flawless than the more upfull Osman originally indirectly acknowledged is not the case. And finally for using Osman's work to further his own anti-Jewish (and anti-Christian) cause. Gadalla has produced downly racist, classist, religionist and culturalist booklets before (Exiled Egyptians: The Heart of Africa), so this outgrowth of bias doesn't really come as a surprise. There is talk of the Bible causing the on-going blood feud in the Middle East and ancient Egypt becoming "the permanent casualty of the 'CHOSEN PEOPLE'", and similar side blows. Which are about the only words added to this book by Gadalla himself (besides continously misspelling "hierarchy"). Whereas Osman, in stark contrast, remarked that, according to his theory, a priest slew Jesus and WITHOUT the support of anyone from the regular Jewish people as traditionally claimed, the latter causing resentment till today. Instead, according to the theory, Gadalla stresses the non-involvement of the Romans in Jesus' execution, putting ALL the blame on the Jews. Other changed tendencies include titling the section about the peaceful and wise King Solomon as "The Weak Grandfather". Whereas the war-hungry David becomes "The Mighty Great3-Grandfather". Which shows Gadalla's own priorities ever so bluntly.

As for the content of the book itself: That's averaging this entire book to 1.5 stars, as I cannot ignore it completely. If I hadn't read the original before, I would have probably rated the smoothed content higher than 3.5 stars, in turn averaging the entire book a bit higher. Just the day before I have reviewed the original and I don't like to repeat myself, repeating the reading with this rip-off was a big enough time thief already. For anybody agreeing that a reader's digest may not be that advisable with this sort of controversial revelatory content I give the urgent advice to read Osman's original instead. Also, inspired by Osman's work, Ralph Ellis wrote yet another book series on the subject, identifying Jesus and Moses with other historical figures, which I am starting to read now. The first one is: Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs (amazon's 2007 spelling).

1.0 out of 5 stars Uhmmmm...., October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tut-Ankh-Amen: Living Image of the Lord (Paperback)

Actually, Tutankhamen's name means "Living Image of the God Amen"; Tutankhneb would be "Living Image of Lord", which we know wasn't his name. If the author can't get even the most rudimentary of hieroglyphs correct, one wonders what right he has to try and write a book covering this much history?

Just one example of how "facts" are twisted neatly to fit his own agendas. And this book IS written with an agenda -- to convince you of something that's impossible, and to take your money. Give the Boy King a rest. If Moustafa really respected ancient Egypt, he would allow Tutankhamen's soul to have a little piece and not slander it with works like this.
