Autor

Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge, often cited as E. A. Wallis Budge, was a renowned English Egyptologist, Orientalist, and philologist who made significant contributions to the study of ancient Egypt. Born on July 27, 1857, and passing away on November 23, 1934, Budge was a prolific author whose scholarly work included translations, dictionaries, and a vast corpus of writings on Egyptology, Assyriology, and the history of the Middle East. Among his most notable works is 'The Rosetta Stone,' which provides an informative exploration of the crucial artifact that helped decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, ultimately unlocking the long-lost language of ancient Egypt. Budge's literary style was characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to making the knowledge of ancient civilizations accessible to a broader audience. Despite some of his translations and theories being later critiqued and superseded by modern scholarship, Budge's texts continue to serve as valuable resources for historical study and remain popular among enthusiasts of Egyptology. He served for much of his career at the British Museum, where he was responsible for numerous acquisitions of key artifacts, and his influence is still recognized in the fields of archaeology and philology today. His contributions have fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation of near eastern antiquities across the scholarly community and the world at large.
