The discovery of Egypt had its happy periods; the beginning of the 20th century, despite profound upheavals, is one of them. From Sheikh Zouède to Wadi Halfa, Jean Clédat, who met the main actors in the protection and promotion of Egyptian heritage, was one of its most enthusiastic representatives. The author consulted all of the scholar's archives to paint a picture of his multiple activities, which oscillated between archaeology, ethnology, museology, and cartography. The reader will discover a rich, original work, often surpassed by itself, where the share of unfinished business is large, so many avenues of research were opened.
