After the death of archaeologistJames Mellaart in 2012 and his wife Arlette the following year, their son Alan informed me that his father’s Dorak Treasuremonograph had not turned up in a search of his parents’ flat in London. But in 2018, Alan Mellaartagreed to let in Swiss geoarchaeologist Eberhard Zangger—who shared James Mellaart’s belief in the Sea People—for a more thorough investigation of the files. The elusive Dorak Treasure manuscript was found along with other fabrications.
It was good of Alan Mellaart to allow further scrutiny. The question is: Does anyone really care at this point what James Mellaart’s private machinations were?
