PRESS RELEASE
Uri Geller to Sleepover on His New Island in
search of legacy of Pharaoh Princess
One of the world's most investigated and celebrated mystifiers, Uri Geller, is planning to spend Saturday night (6th March) on the Lamb, a tiny island, with a huge history, just off North Berwick, in the Firth of Forth.
Uri first became interested in the Lamb when his friend Mohammed Al Fayed republished Abbot of Inchcolm, Walter Bower's, 15th Century Scotichronicon, described by the National Library of Scotland as "probably the most important mediaeval account of early Scottish history”.
He comments, “I decided to buy the island after learning that its mysterious heritage dated back to the Pharaohs. Indeed, the Lamb is one of three outcrops in the Firth of Forth whose geography exactly mirrors the layout of the Great Pyramids at Giza, leading some investigators to speculate that there are secret links between them. Uri believes after reading the ancient manuscript, that it could be the site of Egyptian treasure, buried there by exiled Egyptian Princess Scota, whose name gave rise, through her descendants, to Scotland.”
Uri will be making a guest appearance at the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick, where he will be giving a lecture at 1.30pm (open to the public, with a £5 donation towards the Seabird Centre's education and conservation work), before heading off by boat to set foot for the first time on his island to search for clues to the island's heritage.
He comments, “My dowser’s instinct tells me there could be ancient and hidden treasure here... but conservationists must not panic, because I respect the natural right of the rare seabirds nesting on my island and with the help of the award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre and 'Island Man' Andy Strangeway, we will make sure we keep their home undisturbed”.
Uri is very excited about his forthcoming visit and comments: “The Lamb is one of the keystones to British mythology, and I am thrilled to be its new owner. I am fascinated by the connection between the pyramids and these islands.
He believes that this could offer an opportunity to be part of a legend linking Robert the Bruce, King Arthur and the Knights Templar and the ancient kings of Ireland and comments, “The more I have delved into the history and archaeological lore that surrounds the island, the more certain I am that this could be one of the most significant discoveries in Britain.”
