Margaret Benson (1865 1916), the fourth of six children of the
archbishop of Canterbury E. W. Benson, was a brilliant scholar at
Oxford who found an escape from the conventional life of
housekeeping for her father when she travelled to Egypt for her
health in 1895. She obtained permission to excavate a site, of
which she candidly admits that the authorities had no expectations
(or they would not have entrusted it to such inexperienced
amateurs). She and her close friend Janet Gourlay (1863 1912), who
had briefly studied archaeology under Flinders Petrie, published
this account of their discoveries at the temple of Mut at Karnak in
1899. It contains an overview of the site and its context in
Egyptian history, with an account of the three seasons of
excavation and a section on Egyptian religion. The highly
illustrated book concludes with translations of the many
inscriptions found in the temple remains."
