The mummy of Thutmose I was thought to be lost, but Egyptologist Gaston Maspero, largely on the strength of familial resemblance to the mummies of Thutmose II and Thutmose III, believed he had found his mummy in the otherwise unlabelled mummy # 5283.

By the spring of 1881, prematurely aged and nearly blind, Mariette arranged for the appointment of the Frenchman Gaston Maspero ( a linguist rather than an archaeologist, who he had met at the Exposition in 1867 ), to ensure that France retained its supremacy in Egyptology, rather than an Englishman.

The Luxor Temple had begun to be excavated by Professor Gaston Maspero after 1884 after he had been given the order to commence operations.

Maspero had actually taken interest earlier, and he had actually taken over the post of Mariette Pasha to complete the job in 1881.

Walter Simon and Henri Maspero also made great contributions in the field during the early days of its development.

The texts were first discovered in 1881 by Gaston Maspero, and translations were made by Kurt Heinrich Sethe ( in German ), Louis Sleepers ( in French ), Raymond O. Faulkner, Samuel A.

Edwards ( 1974 ) states that " the legend, which is obviously filled with anachronisms, is patently devoid of historical value ", but Maspero ( 1910 ), while acknowledging the possibility that traditions relating to other kings may have become mixed up with this story, dismisses the suggestions of some commentators that the story should be transferred to the Dynasty XII pharaoh Amenemhat III and sees no reason to doubt that Diodorus did not correctly record a tradition of Menes.

According to a letter from Davis to Gaston Maspero, some of the objects found in KV55 were still in place in January 1908, and their study and attempts at conservation were still ongoing at this later date .< ref > Reeves, C. N., < cite > Valley of the Kings </ cite >, ( Keegan Paul, 1990 ), p

So in November 1880 Professor Maspero went to Egypt as head of an archeological mission sent there by the French government, which ultimately developed into the well-equipped Institut Français d ’ Archéologie Orientale.

Recording continued under Auguste Mariette and Gaston Maspero, but it was Margaret Benson and Janet Gourlay who undertook the first major excavations in 1895 through 1897.

When Maspero left his position in 1886 and was replaced by a series of other directors who attempted to halt the trade in antiquities, his absence was much lamented.

It has been excavated by Vyse, Barsanti, Gaston Maspero, Firth, Selim Hassan, A. Husein, and Alexandre Piankoff.

The Wretched of the Earth was first published in 1961 by François Maspero and has a preface by Jean-Paul Sartre.

The complex was first investigated by John Shae Perring, but it was Gaston Maspero who first entered the pyramid in 1881.

The mummy was unwrapped by Gaston Maspero on July 1, 1886.

All of these injuries were sustained post-mortem, though the body also showed signs that Thutmose II did not have an easy life, as the following quote by Gaston Maspero attests:

According to Maspero (" The Struggle of the Nations ," p. 773 ), Mahanaim was among the cities plundered by Shishak during his invasion ( I Kings 14: 25 ) of Israelitish territory.

It was published by Maspero in Paris in 1967 and in the same year in New York ( Monthly Review Press and Grove Press ), Montevideo ( Sandino ), Milan ( Feltrinelli ) and Munich ( Trikont ).

Maspero received from the Egyptian minister of public works the authorization needed to obtain funds in order to negotiate compensation for the pieces of land covered by the houses and dependencies.

A short time was spent in assisting a gentleman in Peru who was seeking to prove an Aryan affinity for the dialects spoken by the Indians of that country to publish his research, but in 1868 Maspero was back in France at more profitable work.

As an aspect of his attempt to curtail the rampant illegal export of Egyptian antiquities by tourists, collectors and agents for the major European and American museums, Maspero arrested the Abd al-Russul brothers from the notorious treasure-hunting village of Gorna, who confessed under torture to having found the great cache of royal mummies at Deir el-Bahri in July 1881.

Maspero also wrote: Les inscriptions des pyramides de Saqqarah ( Paris, 1894 ); Les momies royales de Deir el-Bahari ( Paris, 1889 ); Les contes populaires de l ' Egypte ancienne ( 3rd ed., Paris, 1906 ); and Causeries d ' Egypte ( 1907 ), translated by Elizabeth Lee as New Light on Ancient Egypt ( 1908 ).

It is now established that it was Gaston Maspero, then Director of the Antiquities Department, who proposed Carter to Lord Carnarvon.

After graduating from the University of St Petersburg ( 1891 ) Turayev studied under Gaston Maspero and Adolf Erman and worked in museums of Berlin, Paris and London.

Gaston Maspero, the French Egyptologist and second director of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, conducted a survey of the Sphinx in 1886 and concluded:

Also in the 1920s, French scholars Henri Maspero and Marcel Granet published critical studies of China's accounts of high antiquity.

Smoleński applied to Gaston Maspero and obtained a post in the library of the French Institute and studied Egyptian.

Gaston Camille Charles Maspero ( June 23, 1846 – June 30, 1916 ) was a French Egyptologist.

In ancient Canaanite culture, high places were frequently considered to be sacred, and Mount Carmel appears to have been no exception ; Thutmose III lists a holy headland among his Canaanite territories, and if this equates to Carmel, as Egyptologists such as Maspero believe, then it would indicate that the mountain headland was considered sacred from at least the 15th century BC.

On October 4, 2011, military and police squads used force late at night to disperse hundreds of angry Coptic demonstrators and their supporters who were attempting to stage a sit-in outside the Maspero TV headquarters in downtown Cairo to protest attacks on a Christian church in Upper Egypt.

The intention of Gaston Maspero, who introduced the two, was to ensure that Carter imposed modern archaeological methods and systems of recording.

It was not until his second year at the École Normale in 1867 that Maspero met fellow Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, who was in Paris as commissioner for the Egyptian section of the Exposition Universelle.

In spite of the brutality towards the Abd al-Russul brothers, Maspero was popular with museum keepers and collectors because he was known to be a " pragmatic " director of the Service of Antiquities, one who would allow them to remove from the country what he did not want for the Bulaq Museum.

Maspero did not attempt to halt all collecting, but rather sought to control what went out of the country and to gain the confidence of those who were regular collectors.

It was Maspero who recommended Carter to Lord Carnarvon in 1907, when the Earl approached him to seek advice for the use of an expert to head his planned archaeological expedition to the Valley of the Kings.
