Autor

Georg Moritz Ebers (1837–1898), renowned for his contributions to Egyptology and historical fiction, was a German Egyptologist and novelist. Born in Berlin, Ebers pursued legal studies before his fascination with Egypt led him to switch fields. After completing his doctorate in Egyptian language at the University of Göttingen in 1865, Ebers embarked on a scholarly career that would make him one of the preeminent Egyptologists of his time. His literary fame, however, was primarily owing to his historical novels that brought ancient civilizations to life. One such notable work is 'Serapis — Complete,' a narrative that delves into the religious conflicts during the downfall of the Serapeum in Alexandria. Ebers' novels were distinct for their meticulous historical accuracy, a testament to his deep scholarly background. His works often included the dramatic tension of romance and adventure, infused with rich descriptions of the ancient world. Ebers also penned an invaluable Egyptian dictionary and a detailed map of ancient Egypt, resources that remained in use by scholars for decades. Ebers' blend of historical scholarship with narrative artistry afforded him a lasting place in the annals of historical fiction and Egyptology.
