Sir Alan Henderson Gardiner (29 March 1879, in Eltham – 19 December 1963, in Oxford) was one of the premier English Egyptologists of the early and mid-20th century. Some of his most important publications include a 1959 book on his study of "The Royal Canon of Turin" and his seminal 1961 work Egypt of the Pharaohs, which covered all aspects of Egyptian chronology and history at the time of publication.
Two major contributions to ancient Egyptian philology by Gardiner are his famous three editions of Egyptian Grammar and its correlated list of all the Middle Egyptian hieroglyphs in Gardiner's Sign List. Publishing Egyptian Grammar produced one of the few available hieroglyphic printing fonts.
In 1915 Gardiner was also able to crack the so-called Proto-Sinaitic writing system by deciphering the "B'alat inscriptions".
He was educated at Temple Grove School, Charterhouse, and Queens College, Oxford; he was later a student of the famous egyptologist Kurt Heinrich Sethe in Berlin.
Professor Harry Smith is a Vice-President of the EES and has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as Edwards Professor of Egyptology, UCL and field director of a series of EES projects (more info: http://tinyurl.com/yepa9u7 ). Professor Smith was interviewed by Chris Naunton for the Society's Oral History Project (http://tinyurl.com/ljbrxd ) in March 2009. Here he talks about the time when, as a student, he visited the great philologist Sir Alan Gardiner at his home in Oxford. The Society is extremely grateful to Professor Smith for sharing his reminiscences, to Dr Alice Stevenson for transcribing the interview, and to the members of the Amelia Edwards Group for providing the funds to allow the Oral History Project to go ahead.
Great band and some cracking 6/8 marches :D
The fourth round of the 2011 DMack Tyres Scottish Rally Championship moved onto tarmac roads for the Jim Clark Reivers on May 29th. The immaculately presented Mk1 Escort of Alan Gardiner and Robin Nicolson was going great all day, finishing the rally 12th overall and third 2wd (only 10 seconds behind Steve Bannister). This is a run through Stage 8 - Edrom 2 - where the Mk1 was fastest two wheel drive, less than a second behind Nigel Feeney in his Subaru WRC!

Rarísima grabación de voz del filólogo Alan Gardiner (1879-1963) hablando de Howard Carter, quien fuera su jefe en el equipo que trabajó en el descubrimiento de la tumba de Tutankhamón en 1922. El valor del documento radica en lo extraño que resulta escuchar a Gardiner hablando bien de Carter cuando sus diferencias eran más que conocidas. La grabación debió de ser realizada en los 50 o principios de los 60.
