King Tut's Gold: Mystery of the Golden Water-Screw is historical
fiction, written in the first person narrative. The main subject
involves a 14 year old second year scribe, Ahmes-VI, who is invited
to travel with his father, an irrigation engineer, to Nubia, the
land of gold and 'Ta-Seti' or the bow people. With invitations from
the royal sculptor Bek, they travel on the royal barge with Egypt's
most powerful lady Tiye, wife and Queen to King Amenhotep-III,
grandparents to the boy King Tutankhamen. The queen is making her
last journey to Nubia, where she is summoned by her aunt Catava, a
powerful sage who gives prophecies of the next two kings, and the
crack in the religious foundation of Egypt's 2000 year old pantheon
of gods, one king will cause. As a tribute to the next kings of
Egypt, the sage Catava orders the preparation and construction of a
ten foot cylinder; a golden water-screw that will be kept in a
sacred magical pond, where the wondrous object is used to pour out
unlimited amounts of the finest, purest Nubian gold for King
Akhenaten, Queen Nefertiti and their son, the most memorable
monarch in all human history, King Tutankhamen. A magical amulet
placed around the neck of Ahmes by the Nubian sage contributes to
his elevated status as an apprentice to Master Khay, King
Akhenaten's personal scribe. And ultimately, the scribe's magical
amulet will place him in the presence of men of a religious cult
who carries out the act of murder. Finally, the powerful amulet
also place Ahmes in the presence of the powerful teacher, vizier
who is most plausibly responsible for giving the order for the
murder of a boy king whose objects of wealth continue to glitter
like star-light and known forever to the world as King Tut's Gold.
