The remarkable story of a chance meeting which transformed penniless, ostracised archaeologist Howard Carter into a household name following his discovery of the tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamun.
What ISN'T true is the romance between Carter and Lady Evelyn nor the fictitious Miss Lewis from the museum in New York city.
Moreover the age gap was almost 30 yrs in real life between Carter and Lady Evelyn.
Lord Carnarvon's estate formerly protested the myth that there was any romantic involvement between the two.
This story is good enough to stand alone, instead the producers sullied this mini-series with nonsense.
I initially gave 9/10 but rethought it's worthy of 5/10 for such flagrant disregard for accuracy.
