The find revealed four burial chambers so filled with priceless objects of gold and alabaster and lapis lazuli and onyx that it took years to remove the nearly 5,000 dazzling works of art from the underground tomb. Until now, however, although there have been countless stories and accounts, including Howard Carter's~the discoverer's~own, no one has revealed the entire truth: the bitter intrigues, the power struggles, the myriad scandals and mysterious deaths surrounding the discovery and its aftermath. What happened there changed forever the course of archaeological expeditions~no longer were foreigners and adventurers able to simply walk in and appropriate whatever they could find of ancient civilizations. Thomas Hoving, former head of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, by a prodigious search for the facts of the discovery in previously untapped sources~old records, diaries and correspondence~has recounted not only the known but the untold story and the strange and colorful characters who played the major parts in it: ~ Howard Carter ~ English adventurer~archaeologist, who persisted for six years, nearly defeated by the unbearable heat, the insects, the laborious digging and the ridicule of those who assured him there was nothing more to be found in the Valley of the Kings. Impetuous and volatile, and lacking the guidance of his mentor, he enraged everyone: the Egyptian authorities, other archaeologists and the newspapers. ~ Lord Carnarvon~his benefactor, who encouraged Carter for six years, but died soon after the night he and Carter illicitly entered Tutankhamun's tomb for the first time and afterward concealed their entry. ~The French Jesuit Lacau ~ head of the Antiquities Service in Cairo, rival for the treasure and determined to ruin Carter and to deny him his claim to the contents of the tomb. ~The Egyptian authorities and the new nationalist government ~ anxious to protect a glorious part of their nation's ancient heritage, whatever the cost. ~The directors of the Metropolitan Museum in New York ~ and growing rumors of collusion and foul play as Carter and Carnarvon acted as the secret middlemen for the museum. A brutal press war continued for many years because Carter had granted exclusive rights to the story to the London Times and excluded all other reporters from the tomb site. The result: an animosity which would never be forgotten and which was to hasten Carter's downfall. Thomas Hoving, who as head of the Metropolitan Museum of Art arranged the fabulous Tutankhamun exhibition which has brought a record number of visitors to museums in cities throughout the United States, has written a riveting account, illustrated with 32 stunning pages of color and black~and~white photos. It is a story about incredible treasure and beauty, as well as an account of adventure and intrigue~about the dogged, complex and fascinating men who struggled for the treasure and were, in the end, overwhelmed by it.

The mysterious disappearance of Judge Joseph Force Crater. The vanishing acts of Agatha Christie, Sherwood Anderson and Aimee Semple McPherson. The lost adventurers~Colonel Percy Fawcett, Richard Halliburton, and George Leigh~Mallory. These famous cases and hundreds more make up best~selling author Jay Robert Nash's fascinating and fact~ filled Among the Missing, the most comprehensive book ever on the subject of missing persons. Along with the cases that made national and worldwide headlines, there are the exotic stories of infamous or until now obscure missing persons which read like captivating mystery, adventure, and sometimes science fiction tales. There is the case of New York heiress Dorothy Arnold, who vanished forever while crossing Fifth Avenue during a day of shopping. And David Lang, who, according to five eyewitnesses, evaporated into thin air on a Tennessee country road in 1880. Then there was Arthur Orton, who insisted until his last breath that he was Roger Charles Tichborne, the scion of one of England's oldest families, whose vast holdings brought him a million dollars a year until he mysteriously disappeared with the ship Bella in 1854. Some of those included in Among the Missing were victims of amnesia or insanity, and some said they were. Many were abducted out of vengeance or for riches they could bring. Others sought a new identity to escape crimes they had committed, or business and family ties that overwhelmed them. Scientists and military personnel were waylaid because of the special or dangerous knowledge they possessed. There were those who took unreasonable risks to preach the gospel. And then there is the Bermuda Triangle. The stories of those who returned from the world of the missing are often the most bizarre. Among the Missing contains all the elements of high human drama: love, vengeance, avarice, adventure, mystery, violence, sex, and murder. Jay Robert Nash, who has one of the largest private libraries in this country on crime and related subjects, has done a stunning job of research and investigation, compiling a huge, compelling, richly illustrated tableau to be savored piece by piece.
