After ten years searching, Howard Carter succeeded in making one of the greatest finds in archeological history. While Carter's fascinating story unfolds, the "spirit" of a young boy in golden garments appears and the suspenseful tale of Tut's struggles against politics and betrayal begins. Through a series of parallel scenes, Tut's darkest days are mirrored by the bittersweet success of Carter, whose fame is overshadowed by rumors of "King Tut's curse." Although the two men do not get the glory that they expected, the musical ends optimistically as the spirit of Tutankhamen prepares for the next life, and Carter and Tutankhamen acknowledge their indebtedness to one another—their names forever linked in history.
