Reposted from @quotabelle - “I like traveling of all things; it is the constant change of ideas.” ~ Lady Hester Stanhope . . This British socialite and intrepid traveler is credited with making the first modern archeological excavation in the Holy Land back in the early 1800s. She and her team gained the confidence of local leaders who were fearful of outsiders that had a reputation for raiding the region’s treasures. Lady Stanhope and her team prepped carefully for the dig, unearthing part of a building that was perhaps a basilica. While falling short of her expectations, her efforts generated a wave of interest by others to become interested in the rumored treasures of ancient Ashkelon. Dubbed the “Queen of the Desert,” Lady Stanhope continued her escapades. The eccentric and unconventional adventurer ultimately died penniless and alone in Lebanon. . #BeautifullySaid by #ladyhesterstanhope #ladyhester #hesterstanhope #queenofthedesert #adventurer #wanderer #quotabelle - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1DRzNFpAi/?igshid=1dtholnsz5z9n
