NY: Forge, hardcover 1997; paper 1999This book derived from a long conversation I had with the Earl of Caernavon, the son of the man who financed Howard Carter's search for the tomb of Tutankhamen. It is in two sections, one set in ancient times, detailing Tutankhamen's reign and death, and the other in modern times, covering Carter's search for the tomb.
