Author Elaine Edgar traces the life of Richard Adamson, a British career soldier who, by a twist of fate, was instrumental in the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun, and under instructions from Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter slept in the eerie shrine over a period of seven long years.
Adamson lectured throughout the United Kingdom on the Tutankhamun tomb discovery as the last survivor of what is described as "the find of the century." The author first met Adamson some 10 years before his death in 1982 and became a close friend and confidante.
Now, following the recent discovery of Adamson's original notes and other records in a dusty attic in Scotland, this amazing true story has been truthfully told.
