The Murder of King Tut

The Plot to Kill the Child King - A Nonfiction Thriller

De: James Patterson, Martin Dugard

Narrado por: Joe Barrett

Since 1922, when Howard Carter discovered Tut's 3,000-year-old tomb, most Egyptologists have presumed that the young king died of disease, or perhaps an accident, such as a chariot fall.

But what if his fate was actually much more sinister?

Now, in THE MURDER OF TUT, James Patterson and Martin Dugard chronicle their epic quest to find out what happened to the boy-king. They comb through the evidence--X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues--and scavenge for overlooked data to piece together the details of his life and death. The result is a true crime tale of intrigue, betrayal, and usurpation that presents a compelling case that King Tut's death was anything but natural.

Intrigue at its Finest.

A most captivating account of the mysterious life of The Boy King. I felt like I was present.

Fact or Fiction

This book is a very interesting listen. Persons who have had no introduction to King Tut's story will find this book stimulating. I was not disappointed in what I found here. However, the reader should understand that some of it is fact, some is conjecture, and some of the content may well be fiction. It you can tolerate that - then this book will be entertaining. Approach it as a thoughtful diversion - and you'll find it satisfactory.

The writing is good and the narration of Joe Bareett excellent.

Mazie

This book was so full of Egyptian history.I learn so much about the plot to kill kings so that others could rule. How much time and energy was put into the design of their burial place. I would recommend this book to anyone who like ancient history.
