TUTANKHAMUN
CENTENARY 2022
LORD GEORGE CARNARVON’S CAR SMASH IN GERMANY THAT NEARLY
COST HIM HIS LIFE
PART 1 ( OF 3
PARTS)
WAS THE EARL’S
CRASH IN 1901? OR WAS IT 1909?
WAS THE EVENT MADE
TO FIT HISTORY AND CORRUPT IT?
WHAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO HISTORY?
Extract
from
“Carnarvon,
Carter and Tutankhamun Revisted: The Hidden Truths and Doomed Relationships”
By
William Cross
For more than 90 years, smart Egyptologists,
fussy historians, Highclere ghost-writers, distinguished academics,
investigative journalists and others
have failed to check the accuracy of the
year for George Herbert’s well
known motor car smash in Germany – a
horrific incident that nearly cost him
his life. George is best known as Lord George
Carnarvon or the 5th Earl of Carnarvon of Tutankhamun fame. Without Lord George
Carnarvon the treasure of Tutankhamun may not have emerged. So this accident is noteworthy.
If the ghost writers of Highclere or any
of their learned, worthy or best selling
followers ever bothered to check the year of the accident by examining
the news reports of the
event from contemporary sources- like 20th Century newspapers from Britain and the USA -
they would find that this much quoted episode actually took place at the end of August 1909, not the end of September 1901 or
some other date.
Even after pointing out that the
year 1901 is wrong it is still recorded in the
Highclere’s most recent money-raising title, in the ‘Real Downton Abbey’ series. In addition the misinformation continues to be
spouted to their Castle visitors.
Deliberate misinformation
is a snub on history
Why does it matter? Why indeed? Well,
it does! If the Battle of Hastings was put across by
well placed public figures as being in the year 1050 or they said
the Great War began in 1911 it would surely matter to challenge? The same applies to this 1901 claim : It is a deliberate snub on history and confuses
learning for the likes of young people.
Unless we become a part of an Orwell’s 1984-world, history
must be recorded with accuracy, integrity,
be sourced and proved. Hence the motive for writing this piece, to demonstrate the misinformation.
Lord Carnarvon and
the Tutankhamun Timeline for 2022
The year of Lord George Carnarvon’s accident matters for historical purposes
in formulating the timeline for
the life especially as the co-discoverer with Howard Carter of the
Tomb of the boy King Tutankhamun in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings in 1922. George is an important world figure:
it must be desirable to get his storyline and all the connected dates absolutely right and before the high water mark of the Tutankhamun
Centenary in 2022.
History
successfully corrupted
It will still be a struggle to shift the sands
that suffocate the truth or have anyone take further
action to correct things because this is a chronic, endemic, error appearing
in
tens of thousands of records,
books, journals, Internet web sites
etc and the putrefaction cannot be changed at a stroke - indeed the damage is already done to history – history has been successfully corrupted - the truth beaten by historical
bunkum too readily written, accepted and left unchecked.
This bad history is not
the only inaccuracy in the story of the life
and times of George, 5th Earl
of Carnarvon – there are a number of other ( so called ) facts that have been simply made to fit around this man’s history and supplant his part in the discovery of the ‘wonderful things’ from ancient Egypt of
3000-years ago. The truth about his much cited death by an insect bite at the height of Tutankhamun fame is another affair
that needs revision.
The inaccuracy of the date of the
car accident compounds the bad history further since this accident - when stated as 1901 - is
also given as the REASON that led to Lord Carnarvon first going out to
Egypt for a way of easing his injured and diseased lungs
in warmer climes. The narrative continues that because of the Earl’s injuries to his chest ( from the crash) he
could never spend another winter in England. Curiously, the late H V Winstone one of Howard Carter’s biographers, cites 1903 as the crucial year for the
accident and the Earl’s first wintering in Egypt.
