François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette (1821 – 1881) was a French archaeologist and Egyptologist.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1858, the Viceroy of Egypt created the Antiquities Service where Mariette, supported by a team of foreign scholars, exerted an iron grip. He carried out his work across Egypt and into Nubia, intervening on almost every major site.[1] In the same year, Mariette discovered the Inventory Stela[2] and requested a museum be created for keeping unearthed artifacts in Egypt.[1]
