Aegyptography (Many Wonderful Things)

The field of Aegyptography is a body of writings, disciplines, and philosophies centered around the history and culture of Ancient Egypt. After the dissapearence of Egyptian inscriptions during the late Roman Empire, knowledge of Egyptian history was completely lost until the 13th century, when the Tabula Rashida was uncovered by Roman forces during the Fifth Crusade. This new discovery opened the doors to a wealth of studies into Egypt from about the late 13th to early 18th centuries, after which point interest as a scientific field died out until recent years.
