Abstract
Egyptology is a complex science that embraces many disciplines, such as history, art, religion, culture, and the writing system. The article offered here to the attention of the reader shows the colossal efforts made by our scientists to glean materials about one of the earliest civilizations of the world. The author points to the necessity of collaboration between domestic and foreign institutes to increase the effectiveness of studies and to share experience.
