Ricardo Caminos

Ricardo Augusto Caminos (c. 1916 – May 28, 1992) was an Argentine Egyptologist focused on epigraphy and paleography.

Caminos was born in Buenos Aires and had a brother Hugo and sister Helena.

As a child he was fascinated by ancient history, and went on to obtain a degree (1938) from the University of Buenos Aires.

He then moved to London where he conducted research at the nearby Egypt Exploration Society.

His former home in London now serves as the Ricardo A. Caminos Memorial Library of the Egypt Exploration Society, and contains approximately 20,000 books, journals, and pamphlets on Egyptology.
