Eugène Grébaut

[1] Grébaut made significant discoveries in the complex of mortuary temples and tombs located at Deir el-Bahari including several Egyptian mummies of the twenty-first Dynasty.

[2] In 1883 he succeeded Eugène Lefébure as director of the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale in Cairo.

Three years later, he succeeded Gaston Maspero as director of the Département des antiquités égyptiennes, a position he maintained up until 1892.

[3] He was the author of "Hymne à Ammon-Ra des papyrus égyptiens du Musée de Boulaq" (1874).

Here there was formerly an altar; and a stele of Thûtmosis IV was discovered, recording a dream in which he was ordered to clear away the sand that even then was gathering round the site of the Sphinx.
