James Patterson will be mortified - he wrote a whole book on his personal theory of how the boy king was murdered!

Reminds me of a book about how the sinking of the Titanic was an insurance fraud and that the ship was swapped for her older sister, the Olympic. The book claimed that the two ships were identical in appearance, except to experts. They were not, and photographs of the Olympic and of the Titanic are easy to identify from each other, even for the layman.

I heard on the radio (so it must be true) that King Tutankhamon was in fact the Ancient Egyptian Hide and Seek champion at the time of his death.

AntCity was seized by a fit of exquisite pedantry. No matter how hard he tried he could not resist the urge to type 'the General Belgrano was a cruiser not a battleship.' Gotcha!

No you must Ant, it is your duty as a freelancer for Jane's Fighting Ships & Airplanes Well, fair enough, I'll take that on the chin. But a cruiser is not a battleship; you might just as well call a Triumph Bonneville a sports car. A cruiser and a battleship are, however, types of warship.
