Egyptology is the scientific study of ancient Egypt, encompassing its history, language, literature, religion, art, and archaeology. This discipline aims to understand the culture and civilization of ancient Egypt, which thrived from approximately 3100 BCE until the conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE and beyond. Egyptologists analyze artifacts, monuments, inscriptions, and texts to reconstruct the lives, beliefs, and practices of the ancient Egyptians. The field also includes the study of the hieroglyphic writing system, as well as the preservation and excavation of archaeological sites such as temples, tombs, and pyramids. Egyptology is interdisciplinary, drawing from history, archaeology, anthropology, and linguistics, and it contributes to our understanding of human history and culture.
