Your Support

The Sphinx Foundation for Archaeological Research (SFAR) relies on your generous support to assist in funding archaeological missions and research projects in Egypt, the United States, and around the world. 

​

The funds raised through donations enables SFAR to provide long-term and limited grants to assist fieldwork, conservation, and research projects studying the material culture of Egypt.  SFAR provides funding for research in three categories: (1) archaeological fieldwork and advanced professional studies related to material culture; (2) conservation, preservation, and documentation; (3) and for emergency intervention and conservation to preserve objects, monuments, and sites currently under threat of encroachment and destruction from environmental factors.  The conservation in Theban Tomb 16, and excavations at Kom el-Fakhry, part of the ancient capital city of Memphis (read more about our projects under the Fieldwork / Research tab and in our Sphinx and Trowel Newsletter), are two of our current long-term grant partners.  Join us in our mission to further our understanding of the Egyptian past by supporting projects in need of continued funding.

Scene from the walls of a tomb depicting priests, an urn with the ram-head of the god Amun, a large bouquet, and hieroglyphic text.

The above scene is found among the decorated walls in the tomb of Panehsy and Tarenu at Dra abu el-Naga, depicting a vessel with the head of the god Amun being carried in procession out of the great temple of Karnak.  The second photograph is of the beautiful agricultural fields looking towards the western mountains in Luxor, Egypt. 

Photograph of a wall fragment depicting the goddess Hathor (a cow with a sun disk between its horns) before an offering stand piled with lotus. The fragment is to be restored as part of the conservation efforts in Theban Tomb 16, on of the projects supported by SFAR.

This elegant wall fragment depicting the goddess Hathor before an offering stand will be restored to its original location during conservation efforts underway in the tomb of Panehsy and Tarenu, directed by Dr. Suzanne Onstine, University of Memphis Mission to Theban Tomb 16.
