The discovery and excavation of Tutankhamuns tomb is one of the most famous archeological finds in history. But compelling evidence suggests the story we know is a sham: Howard Carter and Lord Carnavon actually discovered the tomb several years before they told the world they did, looted it, re-sealed it, then led the worlds media back to the site to claim their place in history. This is the astonishing story of the skullduggery that went on in the Valley of the Kings between the wars and how the famous Mummys Curse could well have been a systematic way of getting rid of those who were about to blow the cover on the secret of the find, and the secrets of the tomb.

From the Publisher:

The discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb is one of the most famous archaeological finds in history. But compelling evidence suggests that the story we know is a sham: Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon actually discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb several years before they told the world, looted it (even destroying artifacts to make it look like the work of early tomb robbers), resealed it, then led the world’s media back to the site to claim their place in history. The Tutankhamun Deception is the story of the skullduggery that went on in the Valley of the Kings and how the “Mummy’s Curse” might actually have been a systematic way of eliminating those who were about to blow the cover on one of the most astounding hoaxes in archaeological history.
