Scope note
The study of pharaonic Egypt, spanning the period around 4500 BCE to CE 641. Egyptology began when the scholars accompanying Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt (1798-1801) published "Description de l'Égypte" (1809-1828), which made large quantities of source material about ancient Egypt available to European scholars.
