Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) was a pioneering archaeologist whose innovative techniques revolutionised the study of Ancient History. Born in Kent, England, he displayed an early passion for archaeology, surveying Roman monuments as a teenager. Throughout his illustrious career, Petrie achieved numerous significant discoveries, including the Merneptah Stele, a cornerstone artifact in the study of Egyptian history. His exceptional contributions to archaeology earned him a knighthood in 1923.

This modern edition of Religion and Conscience in Ancient Egypt has been republished with a newly commissioned introductory biography, celebrating Petrie's extraordinary legacy.
