Team LL History Day. Mystery on Everest

Taking a break from our current history topic on the Ancient Egyptians, Team LL were set a challenge. It is widely known Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing conquered Mt Everest in 1953. However, could it be possible that maybe...just maybe 29 years earlier a couple of English explorers made it to the top in 1924. To this day historians and mountaineers are still debating as to whether or not George Mallory and Andrew Irvine could actually have made it to the top all those years ago. Team LL spent the day taking on the role of historians, archaeologists and detectives looking at a wide range of evidence, exploring the implications and drawing their own conclusions.
