SUPPORT ARCHAEOLOGY

Your Support

The Sphinx Foundation for Archaeological Research (SFAR) relies on your generous support to assist in funding archaeological missions and research projects in Egypt, the United States, and around the world.  The Sphinx Foundation will provide funding for research in three categories: (1) archaeological fieldwork and advanced professional studies related to material culture; (2) conservation, preservation, and documentation; (3) and for emergency intervention and conservation to preserve objects, monuments, and sites currently under threat of encroachment and destruction from environmental factors.

The current funds raised through donations will support conservation in Theban Tomb 16, and excavations at Kom el-Fakhry, part of the ancient capital city of Memphis (read more about our projects under the Fieldwork / Research tab).  Join us in our mission to further our understanding of the Egyptian past by supporting projects in need of continued funding.

The images above are from Theban Tomb 16 and the agricultural fields looking towards the western mountains in Luxor.  The wall scene depicts a vessel with the head of the god Amun being carried in procession out of the great temple of Karnak, from the tomb of Panehsy and Tarenu at Dra abu el-Naga.
