The Association Egyptologique Reine
Elisabeth was founded by Jean Capart in memory of Queen Elisabeth's visit to
the tomb of Tutankhamun, on February 18, 1923. Its main purpose was to stimulate
egyptological and papyrological research in Belgium. Over the years the
association has become a scholarly institution, which promotes the study of the
history and civilisation of Pharaonic, Graeco-Roman and Christian Egypt.
