"Alexandre Moret (1868–1938) was a prominent French Egyptologist and a professor at the Collège de France, where he held the chair of Egyptology. He made significant contributions to the study of ancient Egyptian civilization and culture. Moret was born in Lyon, France, and studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He later worked at the Louvre Museum and the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo, Egypt. Moret's work focused on various aspects of ancient Egyptian civilization, including its religion, art, and social structures. He is known for his detailed and comprehensive studies of ancient Egyptian religious practices and beliefs. His work helped to illuminate the complex religious and philosophical ideas of ancient Egypt for a broader audience. Among his many publications, some of his most notable works include "Mystères égyptiens" (Egyptian Mysteries), "Rois et dieux d'Égypte" (Kings and Gods of Egypt), and "Histoire de l'Orient" (History of the Orient).
