Did you notice the dates of tomb discovery?  They relate to the main action in the book.  Tutankhamun’s tomb was opened in 1922 and later some folks involved died supposedly from the "curse of the pharaohs.”    I really don’t want to go anywhere with this idea except that the Egyptology stuff is in perfect timing with the Harlem Renaissance and Prohibition - the whole age of it.

I know Paglia has an interesting bit about Nefertiti in her Sexual Personae... Also, if I remember correctly, and this is baseless old occult head speculation, but isn't there some lore about Nefertiti being a sorceress, and possible prophet of Christ? I've looked on internet for links, but maybe it's just a jumble of factoids that I've needlessly lumped together, but if there are any search engine autistes out there…

I think Nefertiti took them up and continued after his death, so she’d be a prophet of something maybe. That was monotheistic (kinda) before his time and he said stuff about his father which are maybe kinda-sorta like God the Father and Christ son of God.
