Amery Wendy-Smith
Dr. Victor Lester's research reveals the following. Author of G'harne Fragments, Amery is an archaeologist who led an expedition to the African interior to G'harne. According to him, the expedition suffered a horrible accident, encountering a massive earthquake that killed all the whites on the expedition except Amery. This expedition took place on the heels of the Carlyle Expedition[1]. Curtis Blakely notes "G'harne" is similar to the Arabic word "Al Ghariyun," which translates to "Those of the Cave[2]."
Amery is still alive and lives in Yorkshire, England.
On March 15, 1925, Mary Elise St. Dennis found his contact information and called him. In the course of the conversion, he revealed the following: He retired to his home in Yorkshire. He's very guarded in conversation, but Elise is very persuasive. No one believed his account after publication of the G'harne Fragments, and it cost him his position and place in society. The G'harne Fragments are a translation of notes about Sir Howard Windrop's expedition in an unknown ruined city in Africa. Amery interpreted the notes as information about a prehistoric, perhaps alien civilization. Amery found the notes during his expedition. His translation talked a lot about the collapse of their civilization when they were besieged by a race of subterranean creatures. Cosmology was very important in Windrop's notes, consisting of a catalog of our own solar system with planets beyond what we'd expect, including a planet beyond Neptune and a planet between Earth and Mars. There are also references to large, worn, stone blocks that locals were afraid of. G'harne would be somewhere in Sudan, but no one has been able to locate it based on these notes, which was the cause of Amery being discredited. The second expedition back had all white expedition members (and possibly others, though their deaths would have gone unrecorded) die in an earthquake. The locals would talk about a King of the Night sometimes, also known as God of the Bloody Tongue, The Black Wind, and an obscure Egyptian deity known as Nyarlathotep.
