Dorothy King
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dorothy King (1975) is an American archaeologist and historian who lives and works in England. Described as someone who "breaks the mould of the dusty academic",[1] she is the author of a 2006 book on the Elgin Marbles defending the British retention of the Marbles against Greek claims,[1][2][3][4] and a former Fellow of the Jesus Project. She is also known as a blogger who discusses politics from a conservative view, as well as historical and archaeological subjects.[5] In 2008 she was cited by The New Republic as an example of an "Obamacon", a conservative supporter of Barack Obama.[6] The Guardian described her as: "Blonde, glamorous and a fearless hunter of treasures" and mentioned that she refused to pose for Playboy magazine.[7]
