Fiction and cultural reception

Jal · Le sarcophage de Mykérinos

The first Professor Baltimont album uses the lost sarcophagus as the premise for an imagined expedition. A Dutch edition is titled De sarcofaag van Mykerinos. The publisher’s synopsis and opening excerpt were examined; the complete album was not reviewed.

Jean-Jacques Fiechter · À la recherche du sarcophage perdu de Mykérinos

The 2005 French novel is identified in institutional bibliography and the author’s archive. Its genre and publication have been checked; the complete novel has not been read for this edition.

The separate 2001 historical study

Mykérinos, le dieu englouti is a different work, classified among Fiechter’s historical studies. Its arguments and underlying documents remain to be assessed.

David Gibbins · Pharaoh

Gibbins’s 2013 commentary describes documentary research alongside Jack Howard’s fictional search. The US edition cited here was published in 2013. The commentary is evidence of the author’s research process, not an underwater discovery.

David Gibbins · Pyramid

In the author’s introduction and excerpt, the characters return to the wreck imagined in Pharaoh. The cited UK hardcover is dated 2014; the online excerpt was posted in 2015.

Blasco Ibáñez · a travel retelling

Page 321 of volume III of La vuelta al mundo, de un novelista (1925) retells the loss and claims that a coffin floated and was recovered. This is travel writing. The inspected passage supplies no documentary citation or eyewitness basis for that recovery story.

Scope and evidence

The novel and comic scenes above are fictional. Their publication records, authorised excerpts and author commentaries document cultural reception. Historical claims require their own sources. Detailed edition data and the extent of inspection are retained in each source record; copyrighted full works remain on their authorised sites.

Mykérinos, Mykerinos and Micerino are forms of Menkaure’s name.
