NEW SLANT ON THE TUTENKHAMUN TOMB DISCOVERY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I thought everything had been said already on the discovery of Pharoah Tutenkhamun's tomb, but the story of Richard Adamson's role is fascinating. However, this totally absorbing biography as told by his friend Elaine Edgar offers far more than just another 'King Tut' tale. It gives an insight into the life of an ordinary British soldier in the 20's and tells how he was drawn into the strange world of the Archaeologists of the time and the behind the scenes activities which have not before been revealed. Impossible to put the book down.
