Talk:Affair of the Dancing Lamas


 * What does "The story of "The Affair of the Dancing Lamas" was published for the first time in 1981 by Walt Unsworth in his book Everest" mean? If there was no story before 1981 then what was all the fuss about? I think this needs rephrasing..... or more explanation. Victuallers (talk) 17:15, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I have rewritten the sentence but is that sufficient? That the "lamas" had been dancing was always known, obviously. That Everest expeditions were banned between 1924 and 1933 was also known. What was not publicly known (until 1981) was that the first was the cause of the second. Instead, the public were given the impression that the ban was because John Hazard had departed from the approved route. For everyone knowing the truth (and I speculate that even Hazard may not have known the truth), it suited them keep the diplomatic brouhaha completely hushed up.
