WALLIS BUDGE (1857-1934) was born in Bodmin, Cornwall in the UK and
discovered an interest in languages at a very early age. Budge
spent all his free time learning and discovering Semitic languages,
including Assyrian, Syriac, and Hebrew. Eventually, through a close
contact, he was able to acquire a job working with Egyptian and
Iraqi artifacts at the British Museum. Budge excavated and
deciphered numerous cuneiform and hieroglyphic documents,
contributing vastly to the museum's collection. Eventually, he
became the Keeper of his department, specializing in Egyptology.
Budge wrote many books during his lifetime, most specializing in
Egyptian life, religion, and language.
