Summary: wonderful story and drawings on king Echnaton
Comment: If you like a good mystery and/or if you like ancient Egyptian kings and tombs, you'll surely like this book.

A piece of papyrus is discovered in Egypt. It seems to say that the treasures of heretic pharao Echnaton are buried in a secret chamber underneath the sphinx. A second part of the papyrus (on which to location is revealed) is stolen, and clues are that Oldrik (the old time antagonist of Blake and Mortimer) is involved somehow. And could there perhaps still be followers of Echnatons religion after all these millenia, protecting the tomb with ancient magic.....?

It's a fairly high paced adventure with some magnificent drawings of Egyptian art, dark passageways in tombs and Gizeh, but also with a good share of information on Echanton and his significance. For me this book was the beginning of a life long fascination with ancient Egypt and archeology. I still hope to buy a poster with drawings of the book.

Luckely this is only part one, of a two-parter! So there is more to look foreward to.
