Readers are holding a celebratory, centenary volume in their hands: it was exactly a hundred years ago that the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy's highly successful excavations in Egypt were completed, the results of which brought, in the same moment, beautiful treasures to the museums of Vienna. Budapest and Krakow. This book is also a fitting tribute to Philip Back, the Hungarian citizen who led the Monarchy's archaeological mission to Egypt, who died iust fifty years ago, in Paris, at the age of ninety-six, and whom Emperor Franz Joseph I made one of his knights back in 1904. Philip Back was made a Hungarian noble by His Apostolic Roval Majesty in 1909. and in 1914. at his own request, was awarded the Hungarian noble prename "de Surany" and a coat of arms, the crest of which displays the Sharuna temple discovered during the 1907-1908 excavations in Middle Egypt.
