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)

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)
