You know that story about the fisherman and the entrepreneur?

You wouldn&rsquo;t think there is either a global recession or an off-season in Goa, crossing the Mandovi in a chartered mini-bus: The vehicle is just one in a snaking line of several used by hotels to ferry guests.

Few controversies have generated quite as much debate as the one over whether George Mallory and Andrew Irvine were the first men to summit the world&rsquo;s highest mountain. For 85 years, various hypotheses have been forwarded, drawing on evidence of the weather, oxygen and time to determine whether Everest was conquered on June 8, 1924 or May 29, 1953. Mallory and Irvine were last seen at 12.50 pm by Noel Odell of the team, moving at a cracking pace about 800 feet below the summit. Then the clouds shrouded them and they never returned.

Mallory and Irvine: the long-playing mystery

It was sufficiently disquieting to remain lodged in the memory &mdash; and I was reminded of it recently, while reading about new discoveries at the Alhambra, the castle-palace of Granada in Spain.
