    The pyramids of Egypt have long captivated people’s imaginations. The Greek historian Herodotus described his visit to Egypt and its pyramids in the middle of the 5th century bc, and later Greek and Roman travelers admired and climbed the Great Pyramid. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder, who lived in the 1st century ad, told of local Egyptians who would help tourists in their ascents. But European descriptions of the pyramids largely ceased for more than 1,000 years after the decline and fall of the Roman Empire in the 300s and 400s ad. Over time, the sands of the desert swept over many of the pyramids, burying them.

    John Greaves, a professor from Britain’s Oxford University, undertook the first organized scientific expedition to Egypt in 1638. Greaves set out to describe the Great Pyramid, and his measurements proved to be highly accurate. Throughout the rest of the 17th and 18th centuries the efforts of European diplomats and travelers, such as Benoît de Maillet of France, Richard Pococke of Britain, and Frederik Norden of Denmark, helped stimulate European interest in the monuments of ancient Egypt.

    In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte of France invaded Egypt. A large team of scholars accompanied his army, with the intention of documenting not only every ancient monument but the plants, animals, geography, and culture of the modern inhabitants. The results of this effort, which ended in 1801 with the French retreat from Egypt, were published in a monumental series of books entitled Description de l’Égypte (1809-1828).

    Giovanni Battista Caviglia of Italy carried out the first excavations at Giza from 1816 to 1819. Another Italian, Giovanni Battista Belzoni, joined him and discovered the upper entrance into the pyramid of Khufu’s son, Khafre, only to find that tomb robbers had long since pillaged it. The next major work at Giza was undertaken by Englishmen Richard William Howard Vyse and John Shae Perring, starting in 1837. Working with dynamite and gunpowder, Vyse and Perring forced their way to the cores of several monuments, including the burial chamber of the third pyramid at Giza, belonging to King Menkaure.

    In 1842 King Frederick William IV of Prussia sent an expedition to Egypt led by the scholar Karl Richard Lepsius. The results of this exhaustive survey of the Egyptian monuments were published in painstaking detail in a 12-volume work entitled Denkmäler aus Ägyten und Äthiopien (Monuments of Egypt and Ethiopia, 1849-1859). Lepsius also carried out limited excavations at the Step Pyramid of Djoser and at the mortuary temple of Amenemhet III at Hawara.

    Between 1853 and 1858, French scholar Auguste Mariette cleared rubble and debris that filled the best-preserved valley temple in ancient Egypt: the valley temple of Khafre's pyramid at Giza. In the final years before his death in 1881, Mariette opened the pyramid of Pepi I at Şaqqārah and discovered inside a set of Pyramid Texts carved on the walls of the tomb.

    In 1881 British scholar Sir Flinders Petrie, called the “Father of Egyptian Archaeology,” undertook the most accurate survey up to that time of the Great Pyramid and other monuments on the Giza Plateau. Over the course of his career, Petrie excavated at the pyramid of Amenemhet III at Hawara, the pyramid of Senwosret II at Illahun, and Sneferu’s pyramid and temple at Maydūm.

    In 1901 and 1902, the Egyptian Antiquities Service divided the entire site of Giza into different areas of excavation. The Service gave George Reisner of the Harvard-Boston Expedition the northernmost area, which included the region east of the Great Pyramid. He later also received the southernmost area, containing the entire pyramid complex of King Menkaure. Reisner’s excavations on the valley and mortuary temples of Menkaure laid bare the original layout of an entire pyramid complex. The central area at Giza was excavated by archaeologists of the German Institute, principally by Uvo Hölscher. He re-excavated the valley temple of Khafre and the associated pyramid complex in 1909.

    After this age of large-scale expeditions, the excavations in Egypt tended to be smaller and more focused. World War II (1939-1945) interrupted the work of scholars such as Walter Emery of Britain and Jean-Philippe Lauer of France, but they returned after the war to continue their studies. From 1963 through 1975, Italians Vito Maragioglio and Celeste Rinaldi carried out an architectural survey of all the Old and Middle Kingdom pyramids and produced a rigorously detailed eight-volume reference work entitled L’architettura delle Pirimidi Menfite (The Architecture of the Memphite Pyramids).

    Explorations continued in the 1980s and 1990s, characterized by the use of robots and computers to map and analyze the structure of the pyramids. Many aspects of the Egyptian pyramids remain a mystery, but scholars continue to excavate them, explore them, and learn more about them.
