Allen Chamberlain (1875-1926) was a British-Australian Egyptologist that accompanied a group of treasure hunters in the search of the lost City of the Dead, Hamunaptra.
Biography[]
Once an eminent Egyptologist back in New York City working with the Metropolitan Museum , Dr. Allen Chamberlain was compelled to leave due to a "cloud of scandal", implying that Chamberlain was a treasure-hunter as much as anything else, and whose prestige was enough at least for Evelyn Carnahan to know of him. After his departure from New York, Dr. Chamberlain took to making headquarters in Cairo; a small cramped office right above a glassblower's shop was where Chamberlain's new place of business was. He died in strange circunstances in 1926.
