Episode 18 (S3) Rob Cain reviews the book The Egyptologist and has on the show the 5-times published novelist Arthur Phillips. The Egyptologist is structured as journals, letters, telegrams, and drawings, from several different points of view. The main story is set in 1922 and follows a hopeful explorer who, working near Howard Carter (the man who discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun), risks more and more of his life and savings on an apparently Quixotic effort to find the tomb of an apocryphal Egyptian king.If you like to go on a dig, the book is for you.
