A series of some Chronicle films made in Egypt over 15 years. 4: For the Love of Egypt by ELAINE MORGAN
Amelia B. Edwards was in the great tradition of Victorian travelling ladies. Born in 1831, she became one of the most popular novelists of the day. At the age of 43 she went on holiday to Egypt. She was appalled by what she saw. The ruthless destruction of temples; the lack of proper scientific excavation; people grubbing in the sand for the bones of Pharaohs. She determined that something should be done and, despite prejudice and indifference, devoted the rest of her life to saving Ancient Egypt for posterity.
