conversations.value: The Ancient Egyptians For Dummies
  Egyptologists will always remember Jean-François Champollion as the linguist who made the final breakthrough in deciphering hieroglyphs. His discovery changed Egyptology and enabled the world finally to read the ancient Egyptian language.
  Champollion was always interested in language, and by 1807 (when he was 17) he had delivered his first paper on the language of ancient Egypt at the Lyceum. He spoke many languages, including Hebrew, Coptic, Arabic, Syriac, and Chaldean, when he embarked on deciphering the Rosetta Stone, a stela from Rosetta in the Delta written in three languages: hieroglyphs, demotic, and ancient Greek (see Chapter 11).
  Lepsius founded the study programme of Egyptology at the University of Berlin and was appointed the keeper of the Egyptian collection at the Berlin Museum, which housed his growing collection from the expeditions. The Berlin Museum still thrives today and houses some of the most famous images in the world, including the painted limestone bust of Nefertiti.

conversations.value: Flinders Petrie was an archaeologist for more than 70 years. He started his Egyptological career in the 1880s when he went to measure the Great Pyramid at Giza. He then directed excavations at a number of important sites around Egypt at a time when there were still lots of things to be discovered.
  Over his many years excavating, Petrie collected thousands of Egyptian artefacts, some of great interest, which he sold to University College, London, in 1913, creating the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. Petrie retired from his position as Edwards Professor at University College in 1933.
  English Egyptologist Howard Carter was born in Kensington in London and is famous for his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.
  Carter was appointed inspector general of Upper Egypt in 1899 and was responsible for putting electric lights in the Valley of the Kings. He resigned his position in 1903 after a dispute with some drunk and disorderly French tourists. He worked as a draftsman and antiquities dealer until Lord Carnarvon offered to finance excavations, employing Carter as director. They worked for many years around Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, making many discoveries until by accident in the last year of excavating they found KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun.

conversations.value: Dr Kent Weeks, an American Egyptologist, is best known for his current work in the Valley of the Kings on the Theban Mapping Project, which resulted in the rediscovery of KV5, the tomb of the sons of Ramses II. The discovery of KV5 is a major achievement. The Theban Mapping Project began in 1978 with the goal of recording the locations of tombs, temples, and other archaeological sites and structures on the Theban west bank. This is a monumental task that will take many more years to complete.
  Weeks has worked in Egyptology from the 1960s, and from 1972 taught at the American University in Cairo. Between 1977 and 1988 he returned to the United States as the assistant and then associate professor of Egyptian Archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley, before returning to the American University in Cairo for the professorship in Egyptology that he still holds.
  Professor David set up the Manchester Mummy Project in order to study the 24 human and 34 animal mummies in the Manchester Museum collection. Before the project was set up, mummies were X-rayed using portable equipment in galleries or in situ at the find site. Manchester now provides permanent facilities for ongoing mummy-related research. Recent successes include discovering the DNA of a schistosomiasis (bilharzia) worm found inside one of the mummies.
  Manchester is also home to a tissue bank, which includes a collection of Egyptian mummified tissue from mummies held in various international museums. The tissue bank is a modern resource for DNA, which can provide information about these Egyptians of the past, and a real pioneering project.
  Professor David is the first female Egyptology professor in the United Kingdom and has taught Egyptology for more than 25 years. She received an OBE from the Queen in recognition of her services to Egyptology in the New Year Honours List of 2003.
