Doyle was a very wise and learned person. In history, sociology, psychology, the arts, the occult, and much more. What a fascinating author and story. I wonder if this is the largest scale character Doyle wrote, a polyglot immortal from prehistory.
I so enjoy your readings of these great, unknown (to me), short stories. Just the right length & the perfect accompaniment to enforced lockdown. Many many thanks.
This story is sad....your delivery made me so emotional....as it is meant to be due to the content. Ahhh....you should have 1million subscribers, Greg! You know how to read dramatically and amazingly!
Conan Doyle was always a great story teller and in many ways underrated on other works outside Sherlock Holmes like this one! Is a wonderful world that Doyle have left for has to enjoy and will never be forgotten.
Yes. He could create an atmosphere and rachet up the tension with a few strokes of the pen. That plus a vivid imagination and an insatiable interest in a multitude of subjects marks him out from many others. He is similar to the great Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe in that respect .
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Indeed! I think I once heard a recording of you reading the King James Bible. If it was you, it was beautiful. Do you do other classics? Some Thomas Hardy would be nice.
January 1890: "The Ring Of Thoth" by (later Sir) Arthur Conan Doyle is published. Includes line " *Carter* will be waiting for us at the Palais Royal," ( 5:08 ). November 1922: Howard *Carter* discovers tomb of Tutankhamun. Coincidence? *I think not* Conan Doyle was clearly a witch
That's the third time I've listened to this and I discover something new every time largely due to the wonderful delivery (Conan Doyle did a good job too to give him his due;)). You have narrowed the art of narration down to a fine art.
Beautiful reading! But by now I guess u know that 😉 I'm certain I've heard this story before, but never read like this! What will I do when I've heard all your narrations?! Hopefully u have a large library, and not all are posted yet?
Greg - are you on Patreon or similar? I'm sure some of your listeners would happily Paypal a pound or three in thanks for the joy of these to defray costs etc. ;-) Thank you for a fine job.
One of your strengths Greg is your pacing, and your timing too.
Doyle's supernatural stories are woefully underappreciated.

Thank you for the bedtime story I do enjoy the way you tell a story I am very happy you share your gift have a blessed day

Yes and his lecture series was great and his many newspaper articles and opinions.
You have a great voice and a very nice reading style. Thank you very much for reading these stories for us.
Your narrations are saving my life, thank you.
Glad to hear it, Candy!
This was the story of my first old time radio drama, about 42 years ago.
Hi Clayton.
Not heard of this story before, so quite a treat to hear, beautifully read as always, Thank You
Thanks for all the great stories! I so enjoy your voice!
Another great reading, with a great style. Thank you.
Absolutely "Fantastic" !
I was riveted from begining to end .
Glad you enjoyed it, Pariscribe! It's quite an exciting tale, isn't it?
Thank you. Most enjoyable.
I confess that I thought SACD only did Sherlock Holmes. I am thankful to have found your channel. Thank you for great entertainment and education.
Thanks Pirate, chuck! As they say in Liverpool.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio You bet!!!🏴☠️ Cheers!
Thank you, wonderful performance, bravo!
Thanks Greg for the fantastic reading
Glad you enjoyed it, Daygon.
Great reading! Evocative indeed.
This reminds me a lot of The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley. A wonderfully tragic story as well.
Thank you. A wonderful reading. The story was gripping too!
Cheers Greg.
Nice first name by the way.
Best
Greg

Conan Doyle was clearly a witch
The tale of Tutankam is ingeniously constructed.
Wow
The way the story developed, I started to feel like I it were true and the I was witnessing it.

Great writing and excellent narration.
Wonderful reading. Doyle gives this Egyptian a lot more personality than he did the one in Lot 249.
What more can I say ...well read as always
Cheers Mr Wargo

Cheers Greg. Appreciate your comment!
This is the third story of Doyle's I've come across that is structured in this way; two stories welded together.
Thanks!
Thanks Joe. Appreciated!
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you 😀
So enjoyed this, never read before. Thanks Gregg
🥂 cheers
🍻
Loved it
Good to hear, Leroy
You sound to be such a perfect gentleman, Mr. W. 💗💗
Enjoyed! Thank you for providing this version!
:-)
Most excellent. Narrator and, of course, storyteller.
Thanks for listening!
Conan Doyle was the Stephen King of his day .
Should have been a Hammer Horror . With Peter Cushing and Ralph Bates .( and Ingrid Pitt of course ! )
Ingrid Pitt. Still my beating heart.
Beautiful reading! But by now I guess u know that 😉 I'm certain I've heard this story before, but never read like this! What will I do when I've heard all your narrations?! Hopefully u have a large library, and not all are posted yet?
Fantastic story!
Thanks for listening
A very enjoyable tale Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, Peter!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
May the wrath of Thot be upon the ones who disliked this marvelous story or his great narrator.
Love this. I won’t call it a story as it belongs in that amazing transcendent world timelessness.
Nice choice, Greg!
Thankyou
Brilliant
Why do ppl only talk about Sherlock Holmes when Conan Doyle had so much more to offer
Supernatural romance, love it😊
Very Rider Haggard
❕❤️👏👏👏
Indeed, an untimely end.
I Thoth, I saw a puddy tat. 😸
What a dilettante he was!
Yes. Best thing to be!

Greg Wagland
