Henri Louis Marie Alexandre Gauthier (19 September 1877 – 1950[1]) was a French Egyptologist and geographer.
He made extensive excavations at Dra Abu el-Naga and El Qattah (1904),[1] and devoted himself to work on both historical and geographical[2] issues of Ancient Egypt.
In 1909 he was part of a French team which discovered Huni's Pyramid in Elephantine, and discovered a large granite conical object with an inscription revealing the name of the pharaoh Huni of the 3rd dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
[3] Gauthier worked with Gaston Maspero[4] who asked him to copy the inscriptions of the Nubian temples of Amada, Kalabsha and Wadi es-Sebua.
