From Plunder to Preservation

In the second part we introduce Auguste Mariette and Gaston Maspero and their fight against establishing a law prohibiting wholesale of ancient Egyptian monuments and harboring them not only from greedy researchers, but also corrupt Egyptian government and the local thieves. The Egyptologist William Petrie introduced the first principle of order, a new method of chronology.
