Abstract

Ancient Egyptian studies, as a formal academic discipline, originated in the 19th century. Besides being of great fascination to scholars, ancient Egypt has also been of much interest to the general public, due to the deep sense of wonder, grandeur, and mystery that the extant monuments and artifacts have evoked, and still continue to evoke.
