At the age of eighteen, after the death of her
father, Lara Croft inherited the Croft estates and
became Countess of Abbingdon. Since then she has
been credited with the discovery of some sixteen
archaeological sites of international
significance.
Lara
Croft has been hailed both as an archaeological
Wunderkind and a glorified treasure hunter,
depending on whom you listen to. There are
thousands of rumours surrounding Lara's
exploits, invariably involving the unexplained
or outright unbelievable. Lady Croft herself is
rarely available for comment, which further adds
to the fog of mystery that surrounds her life
and work.
Consequently, Lara Croft continues to be the
focus of wild speculation and intense debate.
Idealised and vilified in equal measure, she is
perhaps one of the most fascinating and
enigmatic figures of our times. |
