Description : Title: Die griechisch-agyptische Sammlung von Ernst von Sieglin Author: Rudolf Pagenstecher - Rudolf Pagenstecher was a German archaeologist. Editor: Ernst von Sieglin - Ernst von Sieglin was a Stuttgart businessman and a patron of the arts. Sieglin financed excavations in Alexandria between 1898 and 1902, where the multistoried underground necropolis at Kom-Esch-Schukafa was explored, as well as excavations at the serapeum, in the royal quarter and in the district of Hadra. The findings were published at Sieglin's expense in a multi-volume work entitled Expedition Ernst von Sieglin, Ausgrabungen in Alexandria. A second Sieglin expedition to Egypt took place between 1909 and 1914, under the direction of Georg Steindorff, and discovered the funerary temple of Khepri in Giza.
