Product Description

The Daily Mail, August 2002

The most comprehensive account of the story ever written


Product Description

The tomb of Tutankhamun was undoubtedly among the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, and everyone knows about the troubles which beset this remarkable find. The untimely death of Lord Carnarvon just after the opening of the tomb, and his appetite for the 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 Carter and Carnarvon unearthed were also rumoured to be papyri that held the "true account" of the biblical Exodus from Egypt. Why did Carter threaten to reveal this volatile information to the public at a meeting with a British official in Cairo shortly after the discovery of the tomb? At a time when Arab hostility towards Britain's support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine was spilling on to the streets of Jerusalem and Jaffa, such actions on the part of the hot-headed Englishman could have caused untold chaos across the Middle East. 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. It follows the plight of Israel from its captivity at the hands of Pharoah through to the events surrounding the establishment of the modern Jewish state of Israel, covering the Exodus from Egypt, the conquest of Canaan and the origins of the Jewish religion. Not only do these papyri potentially question Israel's rights in Palestine, but the book argues they could have changed world history had their contents been disclosed. Moreover, in the knowledge that Lord Carnarvon exhibited distinct signs of toxic poisoning in his final days, and the fact that he knew full well of the discovery of the papyri, the authors suggest that foul play cannot be ruled out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly weak arguments, 17 Jun 2005
This review is from: Tutankhamun: The Exodus Conspiracy - The Truth Behind Archaeology's Greatest Mystery (Paperback)
First, I am a professional research scientist who enjoys reading alternative theories as well as the accepted view. I think these authors generally provide a vital service to the sciences as they make sure the established views are constantly re-examined and need to be defended against logical attacks. I have read various books by Hancock, Bauval and Gilbert (e.g. The Orion Mystery) and have thoroughly enjoyed them as they have provided clear reasoned argument based on documented evidence that can be tested.
As a professional (published) scientist I know the level of logical reasoning required to defend your theories in front of fellow scientists and the general public. Unfortunately this book does not make extensive use of logic for the most crucial arguments. Words such as 'unquestionably' and 'undeniably' are used in many places where a detailed reasoning of how the authors formed their opinion would have been more useful. Such words are intellectual bullying of the highest order and should only conclude comprehensive argument, not replace it. Someone reading this book lazily will easily find themselves persuaded by such words as they don't want to appear unintelligent.
The book does not keep your eye on its aim, it is fragmented and contains very long winded sections that, even at the end of the book, leave the reader asking 'why?'. For example the largest section of the book demolishes the reputation of the very men they are depending on for their conspiracy theory. If these men are dishonest and disreputable, how can you base an entire book on one throwaway line they are quoted as saying? They start their concluding remarks on the conspiracy theory by acknowledging that there is absolutely no evidence for it at all - what use is such unfounded speculation to science?
They argue (fairly enough) that the exodus occurred during the Armana period and speculate from one quote that this was recorded on the missing papyri. They then speculate that the papyri may also prove that Canaan was never conquered. How can the papyri prove it didn't happen? They were sealed into the tomb for the next few thousand years just a few months or, at best, years after the proposed time of the exodus - surely not long enough for any wandering in the wilderness and conquering Canaan to happen!
Often the authors present various theories without ever leading the reader to which one they prefer, such as if Yahweh was derived from the sun-god of the Armana period or the moon-gods of the peoples of Canaan and Edom. While some may feel this helps the reader make their own mind up, the fact that they cannot convince themselves makes it impossible for them to convince me either way.
In support of the moon-god theory they quote shrines that were built centuries AFTER the exodus - not before, and ignore the fact that the biblical narrative does state that the peoples of Israel and Judah frequently turned to worship the gods of the surrounding area. They also quote various symbols found in locations near their suspected Mt Sinai to prove that the local deity was a moon-god. They list various forms it appears in including one surmounted by a crescent and one with rays emanating from it. They pick up on the crescent meaning moon-god, but completely ignore (without explanation) the one with rays. I would have liked to know why that can't represent a sun-god aspect to the deity. I could go on, but I won't bore you.
Overall a very disappointing book, which I found hard to read through to the finish. Some interesting facts, details and theories hidden deep among the wandering (appropriately enough!) narrative, but not enough to redeem the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy, 20 Oct 2003
By Rolf (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Especially the beginning of the book is not very interesting and takes too long, unless you didn't know anything about the discovery of the boy-farao.
After this very long introduction Collins comes with some very interesting discoveries on the missing papyri from the grave of Tutankhamun. The presented facts are there and you can draw your own conclusion from these facts. It's worth reading if you like to know more about this and more historical facts from around this time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tomb Raiders missing Papyri?, 15 Aug 2006
By Mr. M. A. Bowles "Scientist" (Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Tutankhamun: The Exodus Conspiracy - The Truth Behind Archaeology's Greatest Mystery (Paperback)
I am very disappointed with this hefty tome because it appeared to promise so much but only provided dubious second hand information, hearsay, speculation, and theories regarding an alleged `Tutankhamun's missing Papyri'. After wading through almost 300 pages, the key piece of evidence referred to as `the missing papyri' fails to be presented to the reader and the whole thesis cascades like a domino sequence. I would suspect a body such as the Crown Prosecution Service would regard the evidence for its existence as unsafe. Unfortunately for me, it was like a star witness for the prosecution failing to turn up in court with the details on the smoking gun.

Those readers familiar with the generally accepted facts of the Amarna period and the discovery of Tutankhamum will have problems accepting the conspiracy theory. Where it is suspected Howard Carter and his associates crossed the line by entering parts of Tutankhamum's Tomb before the official dates there is evidence to help support this; such as Harry Burton's photograph (GB7282) allegedly of a hole resealed by Carter between the tomb's Antechamber and Burial Chamber. However, the conspiracy spirals out of control with the missing papyri speculation allegedly detailing the Biblical Exodus but this is never provided for the reader to analyze.

I appreciate the authors have put in a lot of time and effort in producing this work but I would have appreciated a slimmer book detailing the key pieces of evidence. Some of the discussions regarding such themes as séances at Highclere Castle for me didn't add a great deal to their theory. I would imagine the majority of readers would find the book long winded and difficult to read because of the lack of guidance by the authors on what they are really trying to tell you. Where they are trying to communicate speculation the choice of language is rather strong intimating the information provided is peer reviewed and generally accepted as fact when it is not. The authors also refer to other authors with similar speculative information and this leads to confusion.

Any readers who are keen on anything associated with Tutankhamun will probably find the work interesting because of a fresh interpretation of what may have happened. However, anyone diving into this book without any previous knowledge may suffer from information overload and find difficulty separating generally accepted facts from speculation.
