Abstract

The Egyptian Ministers' Council approved the establishment of the Governmental (Amyria) University on February 27, 1917, and directed the Public Instructions Ministry to prepare and write a proposal on the new project. On March 20, 1917, a highly respected committee was formed for this purpose, and it produced two consecutive reports, the second of which included that of the Egyptian Antiquities Department (Taqrir Lagnat Al-Adyat =Report of the antiquities committee). This report laid the groundwork for incorporating archaeological and heritage studies into the curriculum. This study seeks to highlight the important role of the formed committee and its members in establishing the Egyptian Antiquities Department through detailing the content of their report. The prohibition of separating the study of hieroglyphs from Archaeology was the most important achievements of this report. The use of foreign languages in studying archaeology was of the report's important recommendations. Adding preparatory year before involving in studying Egyptology was suggested but never carried out.
