She went to Egypt to get out of the rain and ended up founding a discipline. Amelia Edwards hired a dahabiyeh in 1873 and sailed to Abu Simbel: the temples, the tombs, the sand, the dealers, and the tourists already carving their own names into three thousand year old walls. She came home angry enough about the damage to build the fund that became modern Egyptian archaeology.
