Egyptologist (plural Egyptologists)

  1. A person; one who is skilled in or professes or practices Egyptology.
    • 2018, Jan Assmann, The Invention of Religion:
      An Egyptologist's mind immediately turns to the ancient Egyptian counterpart to such an imagined protosactuary: a reed hut that all late Egyptian temples, in their archaizing longing to return to the origins, sought to emulate in stone through the typically Egyptian temple features of inward-sloping walls, torus and corvetto cornice.
