Egyptologist

(noun)

Someone who studies ancient Egyptian history, language, literature, religion, and art.

Examples of Egyptologist in the following topics:

  • Tomb of Ramose

    • Ramose and Hatnofer's tomb is comparatively simple, and was initially considered by Egyptologists as evidence for the humble personal origins of Ramose in particular.

  • Introduction to Ancient Egyptian Art

    • While the Old Kingdom was a period of internal security and prosperity, it was followed by a period of disunity and relative cultural decline referred to by Egyptologists as the First Intermediate Period.

  • Hatshepsut

    • The erasure of Hatshepsut's name—whatever the reason or the person ordering it—almost caused her to disappear from Egypt's archaeological and written records; however, the erasures were sporadic and haphazard, leaving enough for Egyptologists to piece together the history of this great Pharaoh.
