Description

Offered as a work of fiction, but based on recognized historic activities – in old Egypt in the 1300’s bc, and in the 20Th-Century – this book re-examines the lives, characters, surroundings and values of the fairly minor child master and the discoverer of his grave, Howard Carter. Both stories are told in parallel and, as Lewis starting three-thousand years apart, progressively meet, coming-together sets on his compulsive journey. The ancients’ immediate mission for life after death is endangered from the archaeologist’s persistent search for the grave. Both sides fundamentally collide, delivering causes that bring new meaning to the ‘curse’ that had turn into a media experience throughout the first stages of the breakthrough.
