The Amarna Heresy — John Scherber

THE AMARNA HERESY

Three archaeology grad students and their professor sidestep a riot in Cairo to arrive in el Amarna, the ancient capital of the Pharaoh Akhenaten for a routine dig. Sorting through mounds of limestone chips, they discover an intact royal tomb whose startling contents could set the western world on its ear. When a dark and sinister brotherhood gets wind of their find, a chase is set in motion across the dangerous wastes of Wadi Rum, in the northern Arabian desert, ending in a shattering climax in the Roman theater in Amman.
Is the world ready for the truth?
