Researches in Sinai

A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853–1942) made Near Eastern archaeology a much more rigorous and scientific discipline. This 1906 account of archaeological work in the Sinai Peninsula, with additional chapters by Charles T. Currelly (1876–1957), describes the discovery of the Proto-Sinaitic script at Serabit el-Khadim.
