The
Murder of Tutankhamen: A True Story
by Bob Brier
For decades after the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, the dazzling
treasures found along with the mummy distracted many of us from the actual
events of Tutankhamen's life. But take a look at the body itself - cranial
X-rays reveal a location on the back of the skull that may indicate a hemorrhage,
perhaps one caused by a deliberate blow. The question thus arises: Was
King Tut murdered?
Egyptologist Bob Brier specializes in paleopathology, the study of diseases
in the ancient world. In essence, he performs high-tech autopsies on 3,000-year-old
corpses. (He's also taken part in a re-creation of Egyptian mummification
techniques, including the extraction of the brain through the nasal passages.)
Here, he examines the X-rays and other photographic evidence, correlating
it with the research of other Egyptologists, and concludes that Tutankhamen
was the victim of political and religious intrigues that developed into
a fatal conspiracy. True crime buffs and historians alike will find much
to like in Brier's fast-paced recounting of his investigations.

Akhenaten
and the Religion of Light
by Erik Hornung, translated by David Lorton.
Book Description Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was
king of Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty and reigned from 1375 to 1358
b.c. Called the "religious revolutionary," he is the earliest known creator
of a new religion. The cult he founded broke with Egypt's traditional polytheism
and focused its worship on a single deity, the sun god Aten. Erik Hornung,
one of the world's preeminent Egyptologists, here offers a concise and
accessible account of Akhenaten and his religion of light.
Hornung begins with a discussion of the nineteenth-century scholars
who laid the foundation for our knowledge of Akhenaten's period and extends
to the most recent archaeological finds. He emphasizes that Akhenaten's
monotheistic theology represented the first attempt in history to explain
the entire natural and human world on the basis of a single principle.
"Akhenaten made light the absolute reference point," Hornung writes, "and
it is astonishing how clearly and consistently he pursued this concept."
Hornung also addresses such topics as the origins of the new religion;
pro-found changes in beliefs regarding the afterlife; and the new Egyptian
capital at Akhetaten which was devoted to the service of Aten, his prophet
Akhenaten, and the latter's family.

Akhenaten:
Egypt's False Prophet
by Nicholas Reeves
Book Description One of the most compelling and controversial
figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other
Egyptian pharaoh. Much has been written about this strange, persecuted
figure whose freakish appearance—elongated and effete—is totally at odds
with that of the traditional Egyptian ruler-hero. Scholars and laymen have
speculated that he was a eunuch or a sufferer of a genetic disorder—or
even a woman. Known today as a heretic, Akhenaten sought to impose upon
Egypt...
