AUTHOR Michael J Marfleet has compiled Tutankhamun Uncovered: The Adventure
Behind The Curse.
Jan 28 2010 by Eva Ketley, Caernarfon and Denbigh Herald

Presented as a work of fiction, but based upon known historical events – in
ancient Egypt in the 1300’s bc, and in the 20th Century – this novel
re-examines the lives, characters, environments and beliefs of a relatively
insignificant boy king and the discoverer of his tomb, Howard Carter.

The two tales are told in parallel and, beginning three thousand years
apart, gradually converge, coming together as Carter sets out on his obsessive
odyssey. The ancients’ urgent quest for life after death is threatened by
the archaeologist’s relentless search for the tomb.

Although the dialogues in the book are essentially fictional and some of
the situations and characters are imagined, the accounting of events is as
accurate as possible, the majority based upon facts gleaned from over fifty
works, most written by recognized scholars, several of whom were Carter’s
contemporaries.

The book is published by Apex Publishing. priced £15.99.
