Descripción : Title: Tanis Author: Alexander Stuart Murray - Alexander Stuart Murray (8 January 1841 – March, 1904) was a Scottish archaeologist. He was known for excavations on Cyprus. [Courtesy Wikipedia], Flinders Petrie - Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, FRS (3 June 1853 – 28 July 1942), commonly known as Flinders Petrie, was an English Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and preservation of artifacts. He held the first chair of Egyptology in the United Kingdom, and excavated many of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt in conjunction with his wife, Hilda Petrie. Some consider his most famous discovery to be that of the Merneptah Stele, an opinion with which Petrie himself concurred. [Courtesy Wikipedia], Frances Llewellyn Griffith - Francis Llewellyn Griffith (27 May 1862 – 1934) was an eminent British Egyptologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Griffith worked as a student for The Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF) (later known as the Egypt Exploration Society), a society established in 1882 by Amelia Edwards and Reginald Stuart Poole. This society funded excavations in Egypt and provided opportunities for student apprentices to learn how to excavate and give aspiring Egyptologists a chance to publish their findings. Griffith was urged by his professor to write to Flinders Petrie, an Egyptologist working for the EEF, to see if he could serve as an assistant. He could not afford to finance himself, and Petrie and Edwards were able to convince the EEF to fund Griffith through a scholarship. Griffith trained under Flinders Petrie at the Fund’s Naukratis excavation. He also presented reports on Tell Nebesheh and Tell Gemayemi during one of the Egypt Exploration Fund early annual meetings. It was in this report that he thanked Petrie, “I cannot conclude without expressing my deep obligations for Mr. Petrie for so freely opening to me the rich stores of method and experience which his unrivaled skill has accumulated.” After Petrie left the Egypt Exploration Fund, Griffith continued to work for the society under the direction of Edouard Naville. After the establishment of a post in Egyptology at Oxford, Griffith was appointed Reader in 1901. He was Professor of Egyptology at the university from 1924 until 1932 and died in 1934. By the terms of his will the Griffith Institute at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was established in 1939. [Courtesy Wikipedia] Publisher: Trubner & Co.
