 Henri Frankfort [I14303], son of Benjamin Philip Frankfort and Mathilde Israels.Also known as: Hans Frankfort, born 24 Feb 1897 (22 Adar I 5657) Amsterdam, Holland Geboren voormiddag 6 uur, died 16 Jul 1954 (15 Tamuz 5714) LONDEN, age 57 years. Occupation: Egyptologist, Archeologist Biography Born in Amsterdam, Frankfort studied history at the University of Amsterdam and then moved to London, where in 1924, he took an MA under Sir Flinders Petrie at the University College. In 1927 he gained a Ph.D. from the University of Leiden. He married Henriette Groenwegen and later Enriqueta Harris. Between 1925 and 1929 Frankfort was the director of the excavations of the Egypt Exploration Society (EES) of London at El-Amarna, Abydos and Armant. In 1929 he was invited by Henry Breasted to become Field Director of the Oriental Institute (OI) of Chicago expedition to Iraq. In 1937 Frankfort and Emil Kraeling identified a woman on the Burney Relief (c 1700BCE) as Lilith of later Jewish mythology, though this identification is now generally rejected. In 1939 he published what Mark Chavalas considers to be perhaps his most influential scholarly achievement "Cylinder Seals: A Documentary Essay on Ihe Art and Religion of the Ancient Near East" In a collaborative work with his wife, John A. Wilson and Thorkild Jacobsen he published "The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man" in 1946, an influential work on the nature of myth and reality. Frankfort published Kingship and the Gods in 1948, "a classic work" in the opinion of John Baines. In 1948 he became director of the Warburg Institute in London. Along with EA Wallis Budge, he was revolutionary for his time for suggesting that Egyptian civilization, culturally, religiously, and ethnically arose from an African, instead of an Asian base. He wrote 15 books and monographs and about 73 articles for journals about ancient Egypt, archaeology and cultural anthropology, especially on the religious systems of the Ancient Near East. Erik Hornung in his influential work "Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt, The One and the Many" acknowledged his debt to previous work done by Henri Frankfort. He died in London.
