TEXTO POSTERIOR The opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 and the breathtaking beauty of the treasures within sparks a wave of Egyptomania that washes across the world. Dowagers and flappers alike wear Egyptian-style jewelry. Men wear tarbouches to work on Wall Street, and smoke hashish from nargeeleh water pipes. The animalistic motifs of ancient Egyptian art blend with the clean lines of Art Nouveau to create new styles of interior decorating.Excavations in the Valley of the Kings make or break the careers of archaeologists. Some reap fortunes from copying tomb items and selling them as genuine artifacts. Others steal genuine artifacts and re-sell them to unscrupulous collectors.Frequent riots and political assassinations challenge British rule, but Egypt is to be a protectorate of the British Empire for decades more. Westerners openly wear guns in the streets of Cairo, but sternly forbid firearms to the locals.

Visitors are thrown into a powder-keg of political intrigue and sordid motive, of anarchy and rich adventure as romantic and improbable as a tale from the Arabian Nights.
