In order to send him on his way into the afterlife, his tomb was filled with every treasure he would need after death. And then, it was lost to time, buried in the sands of the Valley of the Kings. His tomb was also said to be cursed. Centuries later, as Egypt-mania gripped Europe, two Brits -- a rich earl with a habit for gambling and a disreputable, determined archeologist -- worked for years to rediscover and open Tutankhamun's tomb.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why You need to read this book -1if you want to find out, read the following: Very little was known about the ancient civilization of Egypt until 1799, when one of Napoleon's soldiers accidentally discovered writings on a stone tablet (now known as the Rosetta stone). Since 1799, the world has discovered innumerable inscriptions etched on stone and paintings inside tombs. The story of Moses is totally absent in any of the inscriptions or artifacts discovered to-date.Until now, the story of Moses being brought up by the daughter of an unnamed Pharaoh and the magical encounters in the book of Exodus between Moses and the Pharaoh and the mention of "the land of Rameses" given to Joseph in the book of Genesis has mislead the world to believe that whatever was written in the Torah was historical. But not anymore.The Jews could never have been in ancient Egypt as the Merneptah Stele (Stella of Israel) 1213-1203 BC, states that "Israel is wasted; its seed is no longer." meaning that they decimated the Israeli tribe totally. The earliest time Jews could have been in Egypt is in 530 BC when David could have aligned with the Persian Emperor Cambyses II to conquered Egypt and rule Egypt for over a hundred years until 404 BC. As a result of this conquest, the Persians and the Jews both enjoyed great prosperity by plundering the wealth of gold and silver from Egypt. It ushered in the golden age of Jews The book of Psalms by David and the book of Proverbs by Solomon are as a result of this contact of the Egyptian civilization and that is the reason they are very different than any other book in the Old Testament. David learnt about the concept of the Eternal Soul of Man believed by the Egyptian and the Hindu religious beliefs during this period. If the Jews had accepted the higher knowledge of eternal Soul by David, they could have joined the group of great universal religions like the Vedic Hinduism and Buddhism.As a result of the Childish story of Sling shot David, the Jews lost David's historic contribution as well as his belief in the concept of man's eternal soulwhich he learned during this period.Both the Persians and the Hebrews prospered for a hundred years until the Egyptians rose against both and drove them out in a big Exodus. Their old nemesis, the Egyptian Pharaohs, could have decimated the Jews again totally so that they will never rise again. And that is exactly what happened. Instead of recording this actual historic experience, the Jewish go on to write a fictional account of Exodus and Genesis in order to overcome their inferiority complex by creating a whole new creation with Adam as the first man created by God and claiming that the Jews are the descendants of Adam.This is what led the Jews to ascertain their superiority as the chosen people of God.It is this belief in their superiority that did not allow them to integrate with other cultures and isolated them from the rest of humanity causing friction, hatred and finally lead to their suppression.The steadfast following of the ignoble Torah and its demonic prophet Moses have resulted as a curse on the innocent Hebrew people who were terrorized to follow him.Ptolemy II (288-246 BC), the Greek ruler of Egypt after Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt, gets the Oral version of the Torah to the Greek "Pentateuch" ( literally "five cases") is a Greek word used to refer to the "Five Books of Moses. The Old Testament is dated to about 150 BC to 70 AD and as such be not as authentic as the "Pentateuch". Author
