Georg Ebers

    1 maart 1837 – 7 augustus 1898

    Georg Moritz Ebers was een Duitse egyptoloog en romanschrijver die succesvol was in het populariseren van de oude Egyptische kennis via historische romans. Zijn romans, met name die zich afspeelden in het oude Egypte, werden geprezen en speelden een belangrijke rol bij het bekendmaken van de ontdekkingen van egyptologen bij het publiek. Ebers' aanpak was om het verleden tot leven te brengen met boeiende verhalen, waarbij hij wetenschappelijke interesse vermengde met literaire kunst. Hoewel hij ook andere historische settings verkende, behaalden zijn werken met Egyptische thema's de grootste ontvangst en erkenning.
