Their contribution to the field of archeology remains underestimated.Pieter van Geldernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-30152834578747079522010-09-23T15:06:55.201-04:002010-09-23T15:06:55.201-04:00Loretta, I'd love to see a meeting between Sar...Loretta, I'd love to see a meeting between Sarah Belzoni and Sarah Bowdich (the naturalist/artist who was a recent Intrepid Woman)!

Floods, assassination attempts, "bilious fever," "yellow jaundice"...but hey, a little rhubarb and calomel and all is right.<br /><br />I swear, people were simply built differently in those days.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-74204507026291144642010-09-22T01:30:33.725-04:002010-09-22T01:30:33.725-04:00Thank you.

And it didn't matter to me whether they travelled with their husbands or went by themselves. <br /><br />Not Sarah Belzoni, I didn't know her name. I am thinking of people like Berthe Hoola van Nooten (1817 - 1892). But Belzoni's own published writings are a good place to start.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
