Tadeusz Andrzejewski

Tadeusz Andrzejewski (1923–1961) was a Polish archeologist and Egyptologist.

Life

Andrzejewski was born in Łódź. After leaving school, he joined the staff of the Warsaw National Museum in the 1940s, and was appointed to a post in University of Warsaw, 1951.

In 1951 Tadeusz became secretary of the Polish Archaeological Mission in Cairo and 1959 he assisted Kazimierz Michałowski at the excavations at Mirmeki, 1956, then spent four years at Tell Atrib, (1957–1961) in the Nile Delta.

During his last year there he made an independent survey of many of the archaeological sites of the Delta and prepared a report on them; during the reconstruction work carried out by the Polish Archeological Institute at the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari he was responsible for the epigraphic work.

The Egyptian Antiquities Service also appointed him to publish the tomb of Ramesses III, all the notes for this being almost completed at his death.

Andrzejewski also took part in the 1959 Polish expedition to Nubia and made the documentation survey of Faras. He published two books in French, 23 articles, a history of Ancient Egypt, a book on Egyptian poetry, a new commentary on Bolesław Prus' historical novel Pharaoh, Księga Umarłych piastunki Kai, and many others.

gollark: I do also have some personal services running on the same infrastructure, but I barely have to tweak those.
gollark: So it appears that the comments system is down because I recompiled my website with the new domain so the status/images links would be right, and forgot to stick in configuration for proxying to the comments backend onto the new domain. I have to deal with bizarre issues like this *constantly* just to keep my stupid projects in existence and available.
gollark: I can't tell.
gollark: Creature says lots of things like that, maybe ironically.
