Lietuvos archeologija

Interest in the heritage of Ancient Egypt has been constantly increasing in Lithuania since the 16th century. It was initially just amateur artefact collecting, which was very common among Lithuanian noblemen. Egypt began to be scientifically investigated in the 19th century. The first research publications were issued and the foremost Lithuanian excavations were conducted at this time. The early 1920’s are considered to be the beginning of modern Egyptology in Lithuania and should be associated with M. Rudzinskaitė-Arcimavičienė, who was especially interested in archaeological investigations and the latest discoveries in Egypt.
