[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Geber: Ok, I see what you mean. But did these older "scholars" study Egypt in terms of archeology, anthropology linguistics etc., or were they merely observers and direct witnesses? [/QUOTE]This 4 volume book is where the idea of Egyptology as science starts to form, to put together these different scientific disciplines, archaeology, anthropology linguistics this begins with writing and research related to Napoleon's French campaign in Egypt (which failed after a short time when the British navy became involved). Egyptomania was the renewed interest of Europeans and Americans in ancient Egypt during the nineteenth century as a result of Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign. ____________________ Mémoires sur l'Égypte by 160 civilian scholars and scientists (savants), many from the Institut de France,published during the Campaign of Napoleon Bonaparte in the Years 1798 and 1799 the book, readable online in English translation 1800. https://archive.org/details/memoirsrelativet00inst/page/6/mode/2up ______________________ This collection of writings, the books detail research during Napoleon's Campaign in Egypt, comprising some of the most foundational scientific research on the Middle East by Western scholars notably in the emerging field of Egyptology, eventually lead to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, creating the field of Egyptology. Jean-François Champollion's interest in Egyptian history and the hieroglyphic script developed at an early age. At the age of sixteen, he gave a lecture before the Grenoble Academy in which he argued that the language spoken by the ancient Egyptians, in which they wrote the Hieroglyphic texts, was closely related to Coptic. This view proved crucial in becoming able to read the texts, and the correctness of his proposed relation between Coptic and Ancient Egyptian has been confirmed by history. This enabled him to propose that the demotic script represented the Coptic language. Already in 1806, he wrote to his brother about his decision to become the one to decipher the Egyptian script: [i]"I want to make a profound and continuous study of this antique nation. The enthusiasm that brought me the study of their monuments, their power and knowledge filling me with admiration, all of this will grow further as I will acquire new notions. Of all the people that I prefer, I shall say that none is as important to my heart as the Egyptians." — Champollion, 1806[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
