Product Description

This book provides the overwhelming evidence from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Talmud, and the Bible itself, that Tut-Ankh-Amen was the historical character of Jesus. The book examines the details of Tut's birth, life, death, resurrection, family roots, religion, teachings, etc., which were duplicated in the biblical account of Jesus. The book also reveals the world's greatest conspiracy and cover-up, which re-created the character of Jesus, living in another time (Roman era) and another place (Palestine, Israel).

Sample Highlights:
- King Tut's birth name was Tut-Ankh-Aton, meaning The Living Image of the Lord.
- King Tut was, like all Egyptian kings, the spiritual Son of God.
- King Tut was, like all Egyptian kings, called the Messiah/Christ, meaning the "Anointed One".
- The Bible affirms that Jesus was of royal descent, was born to govern, and ruled and died as a king. This contradicts the popular notion that Jesus was of humble roots.
- The Jews affirm that "Pinhas/Phinehas (a contemporary of Moses) killed Jesus" and they did not mention Jesus' presence in Palestine/Israel.
- The spiritual message of the Christian revelation, as told in the Gospel story, is exactly the same as told thousands of years earlier in the ancient Egyptian Osiris/Isis/Horus legend.
- The Christian Easter is a mirror image of the largest ancient (and modern) Egyptian holiday in timing and purpose.
- The Bible, or book, was derived from byblos, which is the Egyptian hieratic word for papyrus.

Customer Reviews

Not convinced.

The author tried to convince reader that Tut-ankh-amen was Jesus Christ, but did an inadequate job. There was however, valuable information presented in the book.

1.5 Stars for the Grave Copycatting of Someone Elses' Work

In 1992 a book was published in the UK with the title "The House of the Pharaos" (Listed in this book as "The House of the Messiah"). By now it has been re-published in the US as Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs: The Essene Revelations on the Historical Jesus. In 1997 Moustafa Gadalla published a book on the same issue, the one reviewed here. As I am familiar with both authors and appreciated the previous one, respectively some of the previous ones I had read, I read the two books of above in tandem in order to compare them. I have to say, I am deeply shocked about the ever deteriorating integrity of Moustafa Gadalla and severely concerned for the infringement of Osman's copyright. Moustafa Gadalla wasn't merely influenced by Ahmed Osman, he copied his work. As in: even the very words. Just having have read Osman's book before, I felt caught in a continuous déjà vu warp. The only thing he has done is to downsize Osman's some 300 text pages to a some 130 pages booklet. Smaller in size and bigger in the letters, that's probably further dividable at least by 2 compared to Osman's text pages. I am amazed upon reading two pages of bibliography supposedly used for Gadalla's book. In reality, the three books of Osman listed should have sufficed, maybe two others for the epilogue. (Small sections have been plagiarised from Osman's Moses and Akhenaten: The Secret History of Egypt at the Time of the Exodus as sick). The only section besides the epilogue and part of the brief introduction not having been penned by Osman before (that I am aware of) is a 3-page insert about Easter and Egyptian easter eggs. As I have rated Osman's original with 3.5 stars, I cannot help, but have to subtract further: For the audacity of copying. For delivering not even a quarter of the original's content, including the reasoning. Which isn't really helping the controversial content of the original book. For smoothing the not altogether congenial elements of Osman's book, thereby causing the material to appear to be more flawless than the more upfull Osman originally indirectly acknowledged is not the case. And finally for using Osman's work to further his own anti-Jewish (and anti-Christian) cause. Gadalla has produced downly racist, classist, religionist and culturalist booklets before (Exiled Egyptians: The Heart of Africa), so this outgrowth of bias doesn't really come as a surprise. There is talk of the Bible causing the on-going blood feud in the Middle East and ancient Egypt becoming "the permanent casualty of the 'CHOSEN PEOPLE'", and similar side blows. Which are about the only words added to this book by Gadalla himself (besides continously misspelling "hierarchy"). Whereas Osman, in stark contrast, remarked that, according to his theory, a priest slew Jesus and WITHOUT the support of anyone from the regular Jewish people as traditionally claimed, the latter causing resentment till today. Instead, according to the theory, Gadalla stresses the non-involvement of the Romans in Jesus' execution, putting ALL the blame on the Jews. Other changed tendencies include titling the section about the peaceful and wise King Solomon as "The Weak Grandfather". Whereas the war-hungry David becomes "The Mighty Great3-Grandfather". Which shows Gadalla's own priorities ever so bluntly.

As for the content of the book itself: That's averaging this entire book to 1.5 stars, as I cannot ignore it completely. If I hadn't read the original before, I would have probably rated the smoothed content higher than 3.5 stars, in turn averaging the entire book a bit higher. Just the day before I have reviewed the original and I don't like to repeat myself, repeating the reading with this rip-off was a big enough time thief already. For anybody agreeing that a reader's digest may not be that advisable with this sort of controversial revelatory content I give the urgent advice to read Osman's original instead. Also, inspired by Osman's work, Ralph Ellis wrote yet another book series on the subject, identifying Jesus and Moses with other historical figures, which I am starting to read now. The first one is: Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs (amazon's 2007 spelling).

Study Study Study but no one PRACTICES!!

This author has done a lot for the deprograming of Africans from the disease of Christianity. I have been studying African Legecy for 10 years and been practicing for 3 years. Most Africans who do study, do just that STUDY. But do not apply what they have learned in everyday life. Basically seeds fallen on rock! Gadalla writes this book on the same idea that my greatest teachers taught Africans how to study our history. Stay away from Europeans dates and times!!! They mean nothing to us!- Dr. Ben & Dr. Clarke
Thats what was done here in this book and once this is accepted your are open to the truth Gadalla has brought to Us. TUA NTR !
This is a book for the student who still has a grip on Christ and the bible, but still are energized when speaking of Our Legecy! This book is not finish work! The rest is for us to do. Someone comment that Gadalla research on King David and Solomon are false and this and that. But have you read EVERYTHING out there about the Kemetic Kings and their Legecy?? Oh but you thought Gadalla was going to lay it all out for you? Shame Shmae! In my studies alone I realized that Ankenaten was also known as Moses and King Ezana the first Ethiopian King. No one told me this in a book but thru many books reading and putting one and one together. Now this connection by Biblical times is about 3,000 to 3800 years off each other. But now world religions authorities are agreeing with Gadalla theories. What will be next? This book can give you a insight! TUA NTR for Gadalla!

Meatless theory

I came to this theory via the Caesar/Christ parallels. And of the two, Caesar wins out. The oriental archetype of the 'king' is no conspiracy or coincidence. What great hero wasn't born under divine supervision, fought opposition and died a venerated death? One could make a similar argument with the similarities between Jesus and Superman (or Kennedy, or Charlie Brown), requiring the reader to suspend disbelief less frequently. Worst of all is the offensively thin scholarship pertaining to the Qumran scrolls and the Talmud.

Some people seem to have misread this book...

I noticed a that couple criticisms of this book are not quite accurate. The author did not say that Tut-Ankh-Amen means the Living image. He said Tut's birth name, Tut-Ankh-ATON, means the living image. This is a correct translation as the Aton (or Aten) was an abstraction. I can understand someone not agreeing with the author, but let's not mislead his potential audience by misquoting him.

And many of the ideas here are borrwed from Ahmed Osman. But the author doesn't try to hide this. I recommend this book.
