The tomb of Tutankhamun was undoubtedly the greatest archaeological discovery of all time. What is not so well known is that among the wonderful treasures were rumored to be papyri that held the "true account" of the biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. At a time when Arab hostility was erupting over Britain's support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, archaeologist Howard Carter's threat to make the contents of the papyri known to the world could have caused chaos across the Middle East. The book is the outcome of extensive research undertaken by two authors determined to get to the truth of what has become Egypt's and archaeology's most baffling mystery. This comprehensive and detailed account of the events surrounding the discovery of the tomb also delves into the relationship between the age of Tutankhamun and the origins of Israel. The conclusions are startling.

Interesting, But Not Totally Believable,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tutankhamun the Exodus Conspiracy: The Truth Behind Archaeology's Greatest Mystery (Hardcover)
This is an interesting new angle on the Tutankhamun story. Supposedly Howard Carter found some papyri in the tomb shortly after its discovery. These papyri supposedly contained new information on the early history of the Jewish people. And supposedly this information would place in doubt the historic claim of the Jewish people to the land of Israel.On one level this is a rather entertaining book because its an archaeological mystery story with sidelights into the occult. On a deeper level it doesn't really hold much water. Regardless of the origin of the ancestors of the Jewish people (and this book has some intriguing material on that subject) nothing can deny that Jews did live in Israel/Judea for many hundreds of years. Furthermore, thinking about those papyri, the authors can give very little real evidence that they ever really existed, or if they did,that they really contained the explosive material the authors maintain they did. So, the book is well written, contains some interesting archaeological information on the early history of the Jews and their religious beliefs, and also provides some previously unknown (at least to me) insights into the occult beliefs of Lord Carnarvon and others involved in the tomb's discovery. But as to how accurate it is, and how much stock to place in its theories, I'm much less willing to state an opinion. Buy it if you like mysteries, but look elsewhere for serious archaeological/historical analysis

A very plausible investigation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tutankhamun the Exodus Conspiracy: The Truth Behind Archaeology's Greatest Mystery (Hardcover)
Collins and Ogilvie-Herald present a very plausible investigation into, not only the real story of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, but also the significance of his 'lost' papyri. The level of research, detail and presentation is quite impressive and this alone makes the book worth reading, whether or not you agree with their conclusions.With regard to Mr. Crowe's review: There is nothing in the text of this book that supports such rubbish as the "Holocaust denial movement". He seems to have picked one bad apple off the tree and made a meal of it, perhaps in support of his own agenda, fixation and witch hunt. As for Mr. Cerny's review, I doubt he even read the work in its entirety. There is nothing in the book about a clerk overhearing anything. The person that recorded Carter's story was his North American lecture agent, Lee Keedick, President of the Keedick Lecture Bureau, who was never in Egypt. It is doubtful that Cerny even bothered to read the work in its entirety before submitting his review.

This review is from: Tutankhamun: The Exodus Conspiracy: The Truth Behind Archaeology's Greatest Mystery (Paperback)
I have read several books on the subject, but this one is completely different because the author approaches the issue with a true scientific spirit trying to verify every single point he makes in the book including the SHOCKING details never before disclosed about Lord Carnarvon Kin. Finished it off in 2 nights. A must for anyone interested in the matterHatem A Tawfik, MD
