 Carl (Karl) Richard Lepsius, A Founder of Modern Egyptology
Karl (Carl) Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) must be considered one of the founding fathers of Egyptology and a giant among the earliest archaeologists.
Lepsius later explained the importance of this work by noting that, with the exception of the pyramid studies of Richard H. Vyse and John S. Perring, and the minor visits to the area by the French-Tuscan expeditions, his expedition was the first to study and record what was essentially material from the Old Kingdom.
Lepsius died in 1884 in Berlin, but he published many more works during his later years, and was even the editor of the leading German Egyptology journal, the Zeitschrift fur agyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde.

While at the Great Pyramid of Giza, Lepsius inscribed a graffito written in Egyptian hieroglyphs that honours Friedrich Wilhelm IV above the pyramid's original entrance; it is still visible (photos and translation (http://www.catchpenny.org/gpglyph.html)).
In 1866 Lepsius returned to Egypt, where he discovered the Canopus Decree (http://nefertiti.iwebland.com/texts/canopus_decree.htm) at Tanis, an inscription closely related to the Rosetta Stone, which was likewise written in Egyptian, Demotic, and Greek.

KV 3, located in the first southeast branch off the main wadi, resembles in plan tombs of royal family members of Dynasty 20 in the Valley of the Queens.
The tomb's extant decoration in painted sunk relief on plaster survives only in corridor B, as well as gates B and F. The principal decorative theme consisted of depictions of Rameses III followed by a prince, before various deities.
It is assumed that the decorative program was complete, however, since Carl Richard Lepsius noted painted decoration on the ceiling of the vaulted chamber and depictions of the king on the walls of the first corridor B, as well as gates B and C. Noteworthy features

 Exploration of the Valley of the Kings - Theban Mapping Project
Carl Richard Lepsius' recording expedition produced the Denkmäler aus Ägypten und Äethiopien, another folio series of plates, several volumes of which record Theban monuments [16607, 16614].
Recording of the scenes and texts on the walls of tombs in the Valley of the Kings was a major concern of nineteenth century Egyptologists and even today we depend heavily upon the works of Lepsius, Rosellini, and the Description de l'Égypte for copies of walls that were long ago damaged or lost [16549].
Much of the work done by early epigraphers was done in hand copies that later would be redrawn in Europe for publication as lithographs or watercolors.

They were supposedly discovered by Col. Richard Howard-Vyse in 1837, when he forced his way up to these chambers using gunpowder.
In another place, the hieroglyph symbol for "good, gracious" was used as the number "18", a usage found nowhere else in the entire body of Egyptian literature.
In fact, Birch and later Egyptologist such as Carl Richard Lepsius and Sir Flinders Petrie were disturbed at the number of exceptions of usage in the air space chamber, inscriptions found by Col. Howard-Vyse that have absolutely no parallel throughout 4,000 years of hieroglyphic writing.

 Gerald Massey -
It is generally understood that he was the original of George Eliots Felix Holt.Masseys poetry has a certain rough and vigorous element of sincerity and strength which easily accounts for its popularity at the time of its production.
He treated the theme of Sir Richard Grenville before Tennyson thought of using it, with much force and vitality.
Indeed, Tennysons own praise of Masseys work is still its best eulogy, for the Laureate found in him a poet of fine lyrical impulse, and of a rich half-Oriental imagination.The inspiration of his poetry is essentially British; he was a patriot to the core.
