TUTANKHAMUN - THE EXODUS CONSPIRACY (Part 1)
The tomb of Tutankhamun was undoubtedly the greatest archaeological discovery of all time, yet everyone knows this remarkable find was beset by troubles. The untimely death of Lord Carnarvon just after the opening of the tomb, and his appetite for everything occult, swiftly gave rise to rumours of a curse. Also, the presence of certain art treasures in museums across the United States provides evidence that Howard Carter and his aristocratic patron removed priceless objects from the tomb.
What is not so well known is that among the wonderful treasures Carter and Carnarvon unearthed were also rumoured to be papyri that held the 'true account' of the biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
In the first part of this lecture - before the baton is handed over to Andrew Collins, who will complete the delivery - Chris will outline the evidence for the existence of papyri documents found in the tomb. He will also explore what motives might have been behind Carter and Carnarvon illegally removing art treasures from the king's sepulchre against the protocols outlined in their precious digging concession to excavate in the Valley of the Kings.
Chris Ogilvie-Herald is former editor of QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE magazine and co-organiser of 'The Giza Debate' in March 1998. His first book GIZA: THE TRUTH (co-authored with Ian Lawton) was published by Virgin in 1999 and received world-wide acclaim for its in-depth investigation of the people, politics and history behind the world's most famous archaeological site.
