(MMD Newswire) March 9,2009 -- Almost ninety years ago the personal treasure of Czar Nicholas and Czarina Alexandra Emperor and Empress of Russia was buried in the vast Gobi desert in the Republic of Mongolia.

In the early morning hours of February 28, 1917, Czarina Alexandra Empress of Russia, gave Prince George Meshi-Glebhoff of the Royal House of Eristoff of Georgia, Russia secret verbal orders to spirit the personal Romanov treasure of Nicholas and Alexandra to the Bank of Peking (Beijing) China. The meeting with Czarina Alexandra would later be told to socialite-author Patte Barham when her mother Jessica Gorham Barham married Prince George in 1940. The same story of Czarina Alexandra meeting with Prince George in her private salon at Alexander Palace would later be verified hy Maria Rasputin (daughter of the controversial monk Rasputin) in 1977 when Patte Barham co-authored "Rasputin - The Man Behind the Legend." Maria Rasputin told Patte Barham that she was present when Prince George was ushered into the private salon of the Czarina,where the young Prince was ordered to take the personal treasure to the Bank of Peking (Beijing) China. In fact it was Maria Rasputin who helped load the royal treasure into five coffins in a room below the royal salon of Czarina Alexandra.

The Russian revolution was about to suffocate the Romanov Dynasty consisting of Czar Nicholas and Czarina Alexandra and their four children. Exile had become a lost option. Czarina Alexandra believed that she and her family would eventually find a place of refuge among their royal relatives of Europe. When they did they would have to have the largesse to provide them with the lifestyle they were accustomed to living.

Patte Barham has retained Beverly Hills, California publicist Chris Harris to organize a land and air search expedition to Mongolia in search of the Lost Treasure of Nicholas and Alexandra. Harris has been working with cartographers who are locating maps of Mongolia and the Gobi desert that were mapped in 1912. Patte Barham is utilizing her stepfather's notes to locate the area where he buried the treasure in 1917.

Patte Barham has enlisted Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth, a former cast member on the popular CBS reality show "Survivor", to restage Prince George's ride on horse back from the border of Russia and Mongolia to Gobi desert in the Republic of Mongolia where he buried the treasure when he came under attack by bandits. It is expected it will take Lusth seven to nine days to complete the ride. Patte Barham will join Lusth at the beginning of the ride and will arrive at the location where the treasure is believed to be buried.
