Become an Egyptologist

Our fascination with ancient Egypt actually extends back to the dynastic periods itself. Royal family members and key princes during some New Kingdom eras were very interested in the mysterious and storied history of their home land and worked to preserve monuments, stories, temples, etc. When the Arabs finally ended the Egyptian culture, for all intents and purposes, the interest in the history of the nation did not die with the end of dynastic Egypt. The Arabs themselves were highly fascinated with the enduring and rather strange culture they bore witness to.

What most of us would consider to be the academic study of ancient Egypt, Egyptology, is thought to have begun during the invasion of Napoleon and the French. We know that Napoleon had a keen interest in ancient Egypt and after his successful invasion, he wished to learn as much about this mystical land as he could. He sent out a bevy of scholars and researchers to document everything they could about the monuments, culture, and administration of this land.

With each passing year, we learned more and more about these people and also the importance of preserving their history for posterity. History is not only a rich, highly entertaining story, but it is a valuable lesson about where we came from and how we got to be what we are today. Hundreds of years have passed since the first westerners entered Egypt with the intent to uncover the secrets of this mysterious land. And while she has yielded some of her secrets, there is still a great deal to be discovered about Egypt, and also much that is probably permanently lost to the proverbial sands of time.

Author Biography

Born in, what was once known as the Dutch Empire, Timon van Basten found himself in a rather odd time period. Raised and overwhelmed by modern technology during late 20th and early 21st century, he was finally able to overcome the many obstacles through sheer force of character to find his destiny and true passion in life. This passion that we speak of is to provide true value and excessive knowledge to the world. Timon has set the tone for historical coverage and is admired today by many for his exceptional passion, vivid descriptions and storytelling.

Losing sense of time through television and technology, many seem to have forgotten about our ancestors and how the world has been shaped to what it is today. It is here, on History Plaza, where we'll not only focus to make our surroundings aware of our history again, but you'll also find all of the published work of Timon van Basten. Next to his love for reading and writing about history, he also likes to stay in touch with his own readers and visitors. To contact him directly, visit historyplaza.com. You'll also find his monthly articles in the blog section. To get notified of new posts, simply subscribe to the newsletter!
