Egypt Exploration Society
- Egypt Exploration Society
The Egypt Exploration Society (usually abbreviated EES) is the foremost learned society in the United Kingdom promoting the field of Egyptology.
The Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF), as it was originally known, was formed in 1882, largely at the instigation of passionate amateur Egyptologists such as Amelia Edwards and concerned professionals such as Reginald Stuart Poole of the British Museum. It took on its current name by the end of the First World War. [ [http://www.ees.ac.uk/the-society/graeco-roman.htm History of the Society] ]
The EES has excavated at a large number of archæological sites in Egypt. These have included Deir el Bahari, Amarna and Saqqara.
Current projects are located at Amarna and Qasr Ibrim.
The offices of the EES are located at 3 Doughty Mews, London, while a secondary office operates in Cairo.
