Tutankhamun

Thought to be originally from the garden of Lord Carnarvon at Highclere Castle, Berkshire - who, along with Howard Carter, discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in November 1922. Could this variety be a descendant of the peas allegedly taken from the tomb? A tall pea that produces its white flowers and pods of sweet tasting peas at the top of the plants, making them easy to pick.
