“Oh what a tangled web we weave” – tangled being the verb here! Another Dead Sea Scroll adventure revolving around Daniel Knox, an archaeologist who stumbles into crime at an ancient temple in Amarna Egypt, we circle around allusions to Amarna’s greatest pharaoh, Akenaten. Writer Will Stafford claims Akenaten was Moses. Colleagues at the site disagree – Gaille and Fatima, both well known archaeologists, find Stafford a fool. Dan Knox, their colleague, agrees. Suddenly Dan Know and his friend Omar are run off the road and almost killed. Omar dies. Knox escapes and is charged with the crime. It seems a Reverent Petersen has found the ancient site of the temple and has found the Copper Scroll, a document which holds the answers as to whether Akenaten really was Moses, leading his believers of the sun god Aten out of Egypt.
I didn’t buy into the plot or characters by page 120 and found myself confused with unclear historical data presented. I asked two friends to read the book, and both got to chapter two and didn’t find it interesting enough to continue. However, the facts and premise are wonderful for those of us who love Egyptology, and there is certainly a place for another novel about Akenaten. However, don’t get your Dan Brown genes going, this novel does not have the impact of “Angels and Demons” nor “The Da Vinci Code.”
