I've got a question that i'd like to asK:
In the novel Indiana Jones and the Genesis Deluge ,during
the chapter where Indy remembers being at a sultans palace as a
child,the name Richard Francis Burton is mentioned.He seems
to be admired by Indy like a hero.
Later in the novel Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's stone
,the same Richard Francis Burton ist mentionend in the first
chapter as the first discoverer of the city of cozan ,i think in
1867.
Now my question:´Has this man really lived?He must have been
quite an adventurer.Does anybody know about this man?
Please answer,I'm really interested in this one.
(If it's possible,ame your source of information)
