The Egypt Exploration Society funds and supports archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt. The Society is the UK’s oldest independent funding body in the field of Egyptology, and continues to carry out ground-breaking research in Egypt at sites including Kom el-Daba, Quesna and Tell Basta and the ancient capitals of Memphis and Thebes. With over 125 years' of experience, the Society today is a vibrant organisation with an international membership. We run a dynamic and extensive programme of educational events, organised both in Egypt, and throughout the UK, as well as publishing a broad range of Egyptological books.
The Society acts as research consultants to the media; recent projects have included: ‘The Man Who Discovered Egypt’ for the BBC, work for Tiger Aspect Productions, as well as stories for The Guardian, Independent and The Times, and even a CBeebies pre-school show!
You can follow our work in Egypt and elsewhere via a series of blogs: Delta Survey, Minufiyeh Survey, Tell Basta, Theban Harbours and Waterscapes Project, EES Director, EES Publishing.
