LARA
At the age of nine, Lara survived
a plane crash in the Himalayan
mountains that led to the death
of her mother. After miraculously
surviving a ten-day solo trek from
the crash site to Kathmandu, she
spent the rest of her childhood
under the close tutelage of her
archeologist father — the late
Earl of Abbingdon, Richard Croft.
At the age of 18, after the death
of her father, Lara inherited the
Croft estates and became Countess
of Abbingdon. Since then she has
been credited with the discovery
of some 16 archeological sites
of international significance.
Lara Croft has been hailed both
as an Archeological Wunderkind
and a glorified Treasure Hunter,
depending on who’s speaking.
There are thousands of
rumors 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.
Idealized and vilified
in equal measure, she is
perhaps one of the most
fascinating and enigmatic
figures of our times.
