	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.

	Karl Richard Lepsius Summary
		In 1842 Lepsius was commissioned (at the recommendation of Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Josias Bunsen) by King Frederich Wilhelm IV of Prussia to lead an expedition to Egypt and the Sudan to explore and record the remains of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
		Lepsius was president of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome from 1867–1880, and from 1873 until his death in 1884, the head of the Royal Library in Berlin.
		Lepsius published widely in the field of Egyptology, and in considered the father of modern scientific discipline of Egyptology, assuming a role that Champollion may have achieved had he not died so young.

	(LEPSIUS) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide
		Vicar Johannes Lepsius was the one German who supported the Armenian cause with the utmost vehemence, since the massacres during the time of Sultan Abdul Hamid at the end of the 19th century.
		Yet Lepsius emphasized an argument to which the Ambassador was always open: the liquidation of the Armenians would seriously and perhaps irreparably diminish the prospects of Germany’s ascendancy in Turkey after the war.
		Given the fact that Lepsius spent only a month in the Ottoman capital during the war, and that the number of German missionaries in the interior of Anatolia was relatively small, it is not surprising that much of his material on the deportations should have been derived from American Protestant missionary sources.

	Richard Lepsius
		For three years Lepsius and his party explored the whole of the region in which monuments of ancient Egyptian and Ethiopian occupation are found, from the Sudan above Khartoum to the Syrian coast.
		In 1866 Lepsius again went to Egypt, and discovered the famous Decree of Tanis or Table of Canopus, an inscription of the same character as the Rosetta Stone, in hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek.
		In spite of his scientific training in philology Lepsius left behind few translations of inscriptions or discussions of the meanings of words: by preference he attacked historical and archaeological problems connected with the ancient texts, the alphabet, the metrology, the names of metals and minerals, the chronology, the royal names.

	[No title]
		Vicar Johannes Lepsius was without doubt the German who knew the most about the Armenians for he had been supporting their cause vehemently since the massacres of the Armenians by Sultan Abdul Hamid at the end of the 19th century.
		The correspondence with Lepsius to be found in the German Foreign Office on the publication of the documents in "Germany and Armenia" is exceptionally scant.
		Lepsius wondered about the fact that the Reichskanzler had only made one reference to the Armenian genocide, and that at the intervention of German church circles (Lepsius, "At a statement provoked by me in reply to the petition made by representatives of the Protestant Church").

		In some cases, Lepsius-if it was Lepsius who was responsible for the omissions-may have been protecting fellow Germans and Germany’s reputation, but in most of the cases, it seems to me, he was protecting Armenians.
		That is-and the national school of Turkish historians will be quick to jump on this-he would soften or leave out cases of Armenian revolutionary violence, and cover that up.
		And he was also trying to protect Armenians against what he had long known was the false charge of the German Turkophiles : that the Armenians were terrorists, that the “deportations” were a security measure against traitors, and that the CUP [Committee of Union and Progress] was only protecting the Ottoman state.

	The Accretion Theory
		The idea that the Egyptians continued building pyramids with accretion layers to the end of Dynasty VI can be traced to the 19th Century Egyptologist, Richard Lepsius, who suggested that it provided a way for a king to add to his tomb over the course of a long reign (Edwards 1993:273).
		The sometime very extensive falls of masonry, which are to be seen, especially on the north, and east faces of the monument, have shown nothing to make one think of a [accretion] layer structure.
		Perhaps it is fitting that a final word about accretion layers should come from an excavator at Abusir, since that is where Lepsius and Borchardt made their observations and drew their erroneous conclusions.

		The opposition to this objective tomb evidence has caused several Euro-American writers to misrepresent the scene and mislead the public with false statements and cut-and-paste photos of carefully selected sections of this tomb relief.
		These Euro-American writers have misled the general public to erroneously believe that the scene of the four nations no longer exists and that the color reproduction published by Kurt Sethe/Richard Lepsius (1913) and made popular by Diop are somehow an "error." I will give a few examples of this opposition below.
		Richard Lepsius conducted research in Egypt from 1842-1845 and his work was originally published in 12 volumes from 1849-1856.
