New Book: Lies, Damned Lies and the Carnarvons of Highclere Castle

 



Lies, Damned Lies and the Carnarvons

Compiled by William Cross, FSA Scot

Published 1 September 2022

“Some books are lies frae end tae end”  Robert Burns


In this new offering  William Cross, FSA Scot  ( author of several  books on the Carnarvon family of Highclere Castle)  drills down to reveal the tissue of  lies, misrepresentations and bad history  in the timeline and narrative  in  the discovery of the Tomb of  Tutankhamun.

 

Among the lies flushed out  is the chronology of the  near fatal car accident in Germany that was deemed the reason Lord Carnarvon  first went to Egypt, discredited here with  the real influence given  for the Earl taking up digging for Royal tombs.

 

The funding for  many  years  work  in the sand dunes at Luxor from the Countess Almina’s access to  Alfred de  Rothschild’s money  rightly  celebrates what Almina brought to the discovery, but why did Rothschild pay up when he was certainly NOT her father ( as claimed by Highclere)?

 

The reality  of the 20- year  relationship  between Lord Carnarvon and his devoted physician ‘Dr Johnny’ is revealed – in  old age the  doctor’s tongue was too loose for comfort that  he  was shipped off to a lunatic asylum.

 

Other lies surround  Lord Carnarvon’s alliance with Howard Carter .  Were they an item?    

 

Not least is the mystery  surrounding the circumstances of Carnarvon’s  death in a hotel room in  Cairo after a mosquito bite.   Unconscious, dying, with the Great Sword of Damocles hanging over him until his wife Almina,  the nurse,  arrived with a bag full of morphine.

 

As the centenary  of the great find approaches  on 4 November 2022,  it demands  that  any  incorrect  elements  in the  historical record are  expunged.  

 

Truth  matters!
