Eddie's Restaurant | 10 E. Northwest Highway

Join us at Eddie's restaurant to discuss Empress of the Nile: the daredevil archaeologist who saved Egypt's ancient temples from destruction by Lynne Olson. One of the inspirations behind The Stolen Queen, Empress of the Nile is the remarkable story of French archaeologist Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt. Tasked with saving a dozen Egyptian temples from rising floodwaters, one of which now sits in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, Desroches-Noblecourt is little known for her daring achievements to preserve precious ancient artifacts. A survivor of Nazi imprisonment in WWII and faced with resistance from powerful postwar leaders, she was a force to be reckoned with.
