Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Carter and Carnarvon uncorked a long-imprisoned genie when they opened Tut-ankh-Amen's tomb, for there may indeed be a curse of the Pharaohs, a curse which has lain dormant for many centuries, but which once infected the royal bloodline. There is a dark secret at the heart of Egypt's past. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
