	Gaston C. C. Maspero; Gaston Maspero
		Maspero was appointed a répétiteur (teacher) of Egyptian language and archeology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in 1869.
		Maspero resigned from the museum in 1887 to return to the Collège de France and teaching where he was bestowed a D. L from Oxford University.
		Maspero's book, Egyptian Archaeology (1887) was a staple of early ancient art courses in the English-speaking world; it was the second book to be listed in the course catalog as a text for the art history classes during the early years of Princeton University's department of Art and Archaeology.

	Gaston Camille Charles Maspero - LoveToKnow 1911
		GASTON CAMILLE CHARLES MASPERO (1846-), French Egyptologist, was born in Paris on the 23rd of June 1846, his parents being of Lombard origin.
		It was not until his second year at the Ecole Normale in 1867 that Maspero met with an Egyptologist in the person of Mariette, who was then in Paris as commissioner for the Egyptian section of the exhibition.
		Maspero now resumed his professorial duties in Paris until 1899, when he returned to Egypt in his old capacity as director-general of the department of antiquities.

	Gaston Maspero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gaston Camille Charles Maspero (June 23, 1846–June 30, 1916) was a French Egyptologist.
		Maspero did not attempt to halt all collecting, but rather sought to control what went out of the country and to gain the confidence of those who were regular collectors.
		Maspero died in June 1916 and was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris.

	Sinologists \| Henri Maspero
		Maspero's very influential researches on the history of Dauism (Pelliot was chiefly occupied with Buddhism, and particularly with Nestorianism and other forms of Christianity in Asia) began to appear in 1922 with the short article Études sur le Taoïsme; they did much to create this field as a subject of scholarly attention.
		Maspero would run on until it was a quarter of an hour past time for adjournment, and the bum would say, "It's about time to finish this, no?" And Maspero would hastily wind up the topic.
		Maspero himself was arrested in July 1944 for "suspicion of terrorist activities," and deported to Buchenwald; Madame Maspero was sent to Ravensbrück.

	Egypt: Royal Caches at Deir el-Bahri
		Since Gaston Maspero was in France by this time, Emile Brugsch, an assistant at the museum in Bulaq, was called in to investigate the find.
		Gaston Maspero speculated that these constant moves were prompted by the attentions of tomb-robbers at the end of the New Kingdom.
		Maspero decided that the mummies fell into two groups, one, dating from the Second Intermediate and New Kingdom periods, poorly coffined, and the second, better equipped and dating from the later Third Intermediate Period.

	The Pyramid and Coffin texts
		Early in 1881, Gaston Maspero was shown a series of paper impressions (known as squeezes) of a long hieroglyphic text arranged in neat vertical columns.
		The squeezes were shown to Maspero by Auguste Mariette who had acquired them from Heinrich Brugsch and his brother Emile.
		Maspero's texts included more than four thousand lines of texts - the earliest, most important and extensive expression of religious thought to have survived from anywhere in the ancient world.

	The Mystery of Unknown Man E
		On a day at the end of June 1886, Gaston Maspero, head of the Egyptian Antiquities Service, was unwrapping the mummies of kings and queens found in a cache at Deir el-Bahri, near the Valley of the Kings.
		We know from the royal archives of the Hittite Empire, found a century ago at Bogazkoy in central Turkey, that a prince was sent to Egypt to marry the widow of Tutankhamun, but he was murdered on the border of Egypt.
		Maspero suggested that the mummy was that of Prince Pentewere, the son of Ramesses III (1185-1153 B.C.) who was involved in a conspiracy against his father.

	Pierre Loti Visits the Mummies
		A lover of unusual atmosphere and drama, Maspero led Loti through the dark halls of the museum by lamplight, and eventually they came upon the royal mummies.
		Loti describes this unusual experience in terms that would have delighted Edgar Allan Poe, and his evocative account captures the mysterious ambience that is a genuine and significant aspect of our heritage from ancient Egypt.
		His colorful prose enables us to appreciate the emotional impact of an encounter with the royal Egyptian dead, and reminds us that the mummies catalogued here in dry, technical terms on this website also possess a human dimension that is an undeniable part of their lasting fascination.

	Schulers Books (Moon of Israel - 1/49)
		It was the Author's hope to dedicate this story to Sir Gaston Maspero, K.C.M.G., Director of the Cairo Museum, with whom on several occasions he discussed its plot some years ago.
		Unhappily, however, weighed down by one of the bereavements of the war, this great Egyptologist died in the interval between its writing and its publication.
		Still, since Lady Maspero informs him that such is the wish of his family, he adds the dedication which he had proposed to offer to that eminent writer and student of the past.

		There he saw "niches all around resembling coffins and this is where the dead and embalmed bodies, which are called mummies were laid to rest." He was, however, rather disappointed.
		Only when Mariette created the first Egyptian Museum in Bulaq in 1878 (which after his death was placed under the able direction of Gaston Maspero) did the plunder of mummies become slightly more problematic for Egyptians and foreigners alike.

		The Tomb of Iouiya and Touiyou -- With the Funeral Papyrus of Iouiya -- Gaston Maspero Percy E. Newberry Howard Carter Theodore M. Davis
		Before the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, the greatest find ever made in the Valley of Kings was the 3,000-year-old tomb of Yuya (Iouiya) and Tjuyu (Touiyou), parents-in-law of king Amenohis III of the 18th Dynasty.
		The Tomb of Iouiya and Touiyou and The Funeral Papyrus of Iouiya, the excavator's official reports on this important find, edited by Theodore M. Davis and with contributions from Gaston Maspero, Percy E. Newberry, and Edouard Naville, were first published in a limited edition in 1907 and 1908 and are reprinted here in one volume.

	Yuya and Thuyu
		On these Maspero read the names of Yuya and Thuyu (or 'Iouiya' and 'Touiyou' as they were translated back then).
		Although this tomb was non-royal in architecture and equipment it was obviously a burial of some importance, but, unlike the similar tomb of the nobleman Maiherpri found six years earlier, Yuya and Thuyu were known to egyptologists by name.
		The gallant Maspero imagined a love affair bewteen Amenhotep III and the young Tiye, probably toiling as a servant in the palace, which ended in their marriage and the elevation of her parents to noble status.
