His passion for ancient Egypt, and especially Egyptian art, was evident in the radio interviews he gave on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as in his numerous publications, both scholarly and journalistic, which he authored or co-authored.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">In 1907, the first Belgian archaeological excavations in Egypt began. Thirty years later, he set his sights on the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/El_Kab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The cap<\/a> In Luxor, the ancient religious capital of Upper Egypt, which became the main site for Belgian archaeologists in Egypt under his supervision.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Most of his professional life took place between 1897 and 1947, and he transformed Brussels, his birthplace, into the European capital of Egyptology and papyrology.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">The Americans relied on him to reorganize the Egyptian section of the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the British appointed him as honorary vice president of the Egypt Exploration Society in London, and the Danes entrusted him with the presidency of the International Association of Egyptologists.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">When he died in 1947, at the age of 70, Jean Cabart left behind a devoted wife, a long line of children, grandchildren, friends, and students, thriving institutions, and a remarkable body of scholarly and literary work that spanned multiple careers. He is therefore unanimously recognized as the founder of Egyptology in Belgium and one of the greatest art historians of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wopa-plus.com\/en\/stamps\/product\/&amp;pid=75194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wopa-plus<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jeancapart.org\/en\/jean-capart\/biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">jeancapart<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">For more similar news, you can follow the latest news on Al-Muqtani Al-Arabi. <a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/%d8%b7%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%a8%d8%b9-%d8%aa%d8%b0%d9%83%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a8%d9%85%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%a8%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%ad%d8%aa%d9%81%d8%a7%d9%84-%d8%a8%d9%85%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b1-20\/\">The following link<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d8%b7%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%a8%d8%b9-%d8%aa%d8%b0%d9%83%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a8%d9%85%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%a8%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%ad%d8%aa%d9%81%d8%a7%d9%84-%d8%a8%d9%85%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b1-20\/<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Wt0Y63s54eoifMuOhYKCVdlCPRSgWGk4jxnfaMQS7J5QvExdtuHLAgT9wGXrDHFDZ72c9KU2nmaUk\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Y04Nga3zrQ\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/the-story-of-nefertitis-head-chapter-two\/\">The Story of Nefertiti&#039;s Head \u2013 Chapter Two<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cThe Story of Nefertiti\u2019s Head \u2013 Chapter Two\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d9%82%d8%b5%d8%a9-%d8%b1%d8%a3%d8%b3-%d9%86%d9%81%d8%b1%d8%aa%d9%8a%d8%aa%d9%8a-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%81%d8%b5%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ab%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%8a\/embed\/#?secret=ZNljr8C55n#?secret=Y04Nga3zrQ\" data-secret=\"Y04Nga3zrQ\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Belgian postal service has released commemorative stamps honoring Egyptologist Jean Cabart, considered the founder of Egyptology in Belgium.
