The civilization of ancient Egypt has been a source of fascination for explorers and scholars for centuries, and has occupied a special place in the imagination of the public ever since early travellers’ descriptions and illustrations of the abnormal culture of temples, tombs and hieroglyphs started to circulate around the globe. Egyptology in the Twenty-first century is a multi-disciplinary science practiced by specialists around the globe. The story of its development from a hobby for the educated and rich to a highly formalized academic discipline provides the important thing to understanding how and why we know what we know about ancient Egypt. The endeavours, achievements, talents and failings of the primary practitioners, and the social, political and economic circumstances wherein they lived and worked have all shaped our understanding of Egypt’s past. This biographical dictionary tells the story of crucial contributors and shall be an indispensable reference tool for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
