Agatha Christie on the balcony of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, Baghdad, during the 1950s. Her second husband, Sir Max Mallowan, was a renowned archaeologist, and she often accompanied him on expeditions, uncovering ancient Mesopotamian artifacts. Their paths first crossed when Christie, recently divorced after 14 years of marriage, embarked on a solo global adventure. Her journey began with a trip to Baghdad on the Orient Express, where she eventually visited the ruins of Ur and met Mallowan. The two married in 1930, and from then on, archaeology became an important part of her life. Christie's time in the Middle East profoundly influenced her writing. Her famous novel Murder on the Orient Express was partly inspired by a return trip from one of her husband's excavations when their train was stranded for 24 hours due to bad weather. The region also served as the backdrop for books such as Murder in Mesopotamia and They Came to Baghdad, blending real-life experience with mystery and intrigue.
