László Kákosy
MúzeumCafé 3.
The defining figure of 20th century Hungarian Egyptology, László Kákosy, died five years ago, on 29 January 2003. Recognition of his creation, the “Budapest school”, is justified not simply by the almost forty degrees in Egyptology which his pupils attained during the decades of his professorship, but rather by the thorough philological and historical-archeological grounding of Hungarian Egyptologists, as well as his establishment of a personal and close relationship with Egypt.
