As The Dig notes, it wasn't until very recently, long after Brown's 1977 death, that the museum righted this wrong and added Brown's name to the permanent Sutton Hoo exhibit alongside Pretty's. Unfortunately, by the time World War II was over and the findings were able to be exhibited for the first time-nearly a decade after Pretty's 1942 death-Brown's name was left off the exhibit, likely because he was self-taught and not a part of the nation's more prestigious class of professional archeologists. As a reward for her status as one of the museum's most generous donors of all time, then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill offered her the prestigious CBE honor, but she graciously declined.Īdditionally, upon bequeathing the medieval treasures to the museum, Pretty requested that Brown receive credit for his work on the initial dig.
For one thing, after it was determined in 1939 that all of the priceless artifacts found on her land were rightfully her property, she immediately chose to donate everything to the British Museum. The Dig offers great graphics compared to the standard in the 90's, a hearth warming story and some great audio too. It was developed by LucasArts and as always they deliver.
The game is a classic point-and-click adventure game, like many from the 90's. She was determined to give credit where it was due.ĭespite her high status and mind-boggling wealth, Pretty was truly a woman of the people. It's a game that takes you on a great adventure.
