He was an Egyptologist and one of the first archaeologists to excavate ancient Persian cities in what is now Iran.

Jéquier began his career under the guidance of the Egyptologists Gaston Maspero and Jacques de Morgan, and specialized in the Predynastic Period. He participated in major excavations sponsored by the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

He excavated sites at Saqqara, such as the pyramid of Ibi and the pyramid of Khendjer, at Dahshur, Lisht, and Mazghuna.

His work on the Pyramid Texts was a significant step forward in the understanding of these religious works.

gollark: To what?
gollark: In theory everyone could just carry a headlamp, but like with reusable water bottles nobody does this.
gollark: They are quite convenient, though.
gollark: I'm pretty sure prior art does stop someone from patenting your thing, if not making their own variants.
gollark: There's !!FUN!! with AV1/VP9 now where Google and such claim that there are no relevant patents, and a random patent troll claims that yes there are and you need to pay them money.
