Opis

Note on the translator: James Henry Breasted played a very important part in modern archeological history. He received his doctorate under Adolf Erman in 1894. He was the founder of the Oriental Institute (the University of Chicago's archeology museum). And he was the first archaeologist to be elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences (1923). He made several trips to Egypt, with two seasons from 1905 through 1907. And he helped Howard Carter decipher the seals from the Tomb of Tutankhamun (1922 & 1923). He was also the president of the American Historical Association in 1928. And in 1985 they established The James Henry Breasted Prize in honor of his name. This prize (yearly bestowed) is offered for the best book in English in any field of history prior to CE 1000.
