Kelly Accetta Crowe explains that the symbol suspiciously similar to a helicopter was caused by a king carving his name over another!

“Carl Graves is, in my opinion, the living person who knows Amelia Edwards best. His coverage of her early life, Egyptology work, and legacy is so carefully done. […] This book is unlike any other you’ll read about Amelia Edwards, and everyone will learn something new about her.”
