Takes the reader on a photographic excursion into an astonishing culture and its 4000 years of history. Starting with an overview of the Nile, it explores every corner of Egypt including Alexandria and the Mediterranean coast, the Sinai desert and the Suez Canal, the pyramids of Giza and the monuments of Luxor, Karnak and Thebes, the Valley of the Kings, and the great temples of Abu Simbel that were moved stone-by-stone from their original site.

This reinterpretation of Biblical and ancient Egyptian history demonstrates that King David can be identified as Pharaoh Tuthmosis III and that the historical Jesus lived several centuries before the standard versions of history atttribute his existence. The author contends - with evidence that includes the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud and Biblical sources - that the real Jesus can be identified as the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Ahmed Osman is the author of "Stranger in the Valley of Kings" and "Moses: Pharaoh of Egypt".
