Emile Amelineau is known to have discovered Osiris’s burial place and tomb at Abydos and his skull in the necropolis in a jar. He was able to identify the names of the 16 kings more ancient perhaps than Menes.
He found tombs of four kings: Ka, Den, the Serpent King Djet and another whose name has not been deciphered.
In an effort to assist the historical investigation of Shenoute, Emile Amelineau is undertook an ambitious project to publish first a corpus of Coptic and Arabic texts all more or less relevant to Shenoute, the Shenoute’s own work. Shenoute is the founder of Coptic monasticism.
Emile Clement Amelineau (1850-1915)
