Everything about Mark Lehner totally explained
Mark Lehner, Ph.D., is an
American archaeologist with more than thirty years of experience excavating in
Egypt. His approach, as director of
Ancient Egypt Research Associates, is to conduct interdisciplinary archaeological investigation. Every excavated object is examined by specialists to create an overall picture of an archaeological site—from the buildings down to the pollen spores. His international team currently runs the
Giza Plateau Mapping Project, excavating and mapping the ancient city of the builders of the
Giza pyramid complex, which dates to the fourth dynasty of Egypt.
Mark Lehner first went to Egypt as a student in the 1970s. Intrigued by the mysteries of the 'Sleeping Prophet',
Edgar Cayce, Lehner
"found that [my] initial notions about the ancient civilization along the Nile couldn't stand up to the bedrock reality of the Giza Plateau". He turned to the
scientific method of discovery in order to understand the culture better, returning some years later to complete a
doctorate degree at
Yale University. Lehner's 1991 dissertation was,
Archaeology of an image: The Great Sphinx of Giza.
Among his other work in Egypt, Mark Lehner has produced the only known
scale maps of the
Giza Sphinx. He spent five years surveying and mapping the famous statue built by [Khafre]].
Lehner's book,
The Complete Pyramids (
1997) is an exhaustive catalogue of Egypt's many pyramid sites. Lehner has appeared in many television programs about Ancient Egypt. He is also a visiting assistant professor of Egyptian archaeology at the
Oriental Institute of the
University of Chicago
