Claude Traunecker

Claude Traunecker (born 14 November 1943) is a French Egyptologist, professor at the University of Strasbourg and researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. He participated in many archaeological excavations and research on ancient Egypt. Quotes The Egyptians felt no need to establish an inventory of their gods. The efforts of the Hittites, who compiled laborious concordance lists matching their gods with those of their neighbors, must have made them smile. Les Dieux de L'egypte (Traunecker, 1992) It was a revelation! Especially this word of greeting that I discovered. I remember, when I saw it, I had tears in my eyes. An appeal to the living.
