Hungarian Excavations in the Theban Necropolis -- 102 Years of Field Work in Egypt

Hungarian Minister of Education and Culture Istvan Hiller on Friday opened an exhibition at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo of more than a century of work by Hungarian archaeologists in the Theban Necropolis.

More intensive cooperation is expected between Hungary and Egypt in the coming period, Hiller told MTI on Saturday. It is a great honour that one of the most visited museums in the world is showing the work of Hungarian archaeologists, he added.

"It is a sign of the active cultural cooperation between the two countries that the material in the exhibition has been placed next to the famous and marvelous gold treasures of Tutankhamen," Hiller said.
