Tutankhamun's Uncle

Egypt is the pinnacle of the ancient world, the apex of culture, power and wealth. But in the centres of power, conflict erupts; a novel heresy threatens to undo the pantheon of elder gods and plunge the country into chaos. A monotheistic pharaoh, Akhenaten, is plotting to usurp the old religion and promote Aten as the only god.

But the old gods will not go quietly. As the battle for power rages, the empire is placed in peril; and the people of Egypt are torn between the old gods and the new.

At the centre of it all, one family: Akhenaten and his brother Moses. Will they lead the country to a new religious renaissance, or destroy an empire that has lasted millennia?

Tutankhamun''s Uncle is an epic tale of power and faith in the ancient world that will change your view of history and religion forever. 

Who was Moses? Was Akhenaten a madman or a visionary? And how did the boy-king, Tutankhamun, really die? This book reveals the answers to history''s most enigmatic puzzle.

Alan Bell, a retired academic, has spent seven years researching the mysterious birth of the great monotheist religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In Tutankhamun''s Uncle, he unravels the mystery.

Many years ago, visiting a junk stall, the author found a solid brass copy of the death mask of Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun had always been a fascination from early childhood, as did Moses due to a strict church upbringing.

As the years went by, his mind played with my two heroes and interlocked them into a particular period of history. More study identified a connection with them and a pharaoh named Akhenaten. This triggered a eureka moment.

Here was the link to the Exodus and Tutankhamun; here was a man of great stature, a man who changed the world, a man with a brother air-brushed from historical ancient Egypt; another great, Moses.

A book written after years of research, Tutankhamun''s Uncle is one man''s quest to discover the truth about a forgotten prince of Egypt. Read this book to discover what he found; it will change your perception of religion forever.
