Talk:List of Egyptologists

Khaemweset

Should we include Khaemweset fourth son of Ramses II in the list ? After all he commanded numerous restorations of Old Kingdom monuments, a work that would today be deemed that of an egyptologist.

Questions

what about Zahi Hawass?

What about just adding the dates of their births and deaths?

Jacques Kinnaer is not a famous Egyptologist-he just happens to have a Web site.

Erman, Sethe, Helck..... why do you ignore the german egyptologists?

Eric Young

I'm immediately searching for Eric Young, probably an Egyptologist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Henry George Fischer mentions him concerning a letter of Thomas George Allen to Eric Young. Does anyone knows this egyptologist Eric Young mentioned in this correspondence ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.100.16.130 (talk) 19:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Article is missing some important Egyptian Egyptologists, as well as some obvious choices like Ian Shaw. I'll be adding some. — Zerida 09:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

List of French Egyptologists

This old list has been nearly abandoned since its creation and has had only one non-automated edit in the past five and a half years. This discussion on my talk page a couple of years ago seemed a fairly clear consensus to merge the two among the few of us who participated, but it wasn't acted on at the time. I've now boldly turned it into a redirect leading here.

The people on the French list were nearly all present here already, and I added those that weren't here to this list—with a few exceptions. Hubert-Pascal Ameilhon, Vivant Denon, Jean-Baptiste Jollois, and Edme François Jomard were all on the list, but whether they count as Egyptologists is questionable. The discipline is generally regarded as beginning with the decipherment of hieroglyphs by Young and Champollion, and by that standard, scholars and antiquarians who did their work before the decipherment wouldn't be counted. This list seems to follow that convention, so I haven't added these four people to the list. A. Parrot (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Alexandre Piankoff & Natcha Rambova

Alexandre Piankoff (1897-1966) is often sited by other important Egyptologists. He served as director of the French Institute of Oriental Studies in Cario, Egypt, trained under Sethe and callobrated a book with Charles Maystre. His list of works in English (also published in French): The Tomb of Ramesses VI w/ Natcha Rambova 1954 The Shrines of Tut-Ankh-Amon w/Natcha Rambova 1955 Mythological Papyri w/Natcha Rambova 1957 The Litany of Re 1964 The Pyramid of Unas published posthumously w/Natcha Rambova 1968 The Wandering of the Soul published posthumously 1974

No Wikipedia entry and not on this list. Appears on archeologist list in red but no entry. There is however a note under list of archologists that gives his Bio in French? but can't be lifted from the PDF for translation. Why is Piankoff not on this list. Rambova might also be considered as she led both expeditions that resulted in all six books listed above. Was editor for 4 and authored a chapter in one. 2600:1700:2670:5CF0:C020:6A9B:334A:5B02 (talk) 16:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
