Mission
Ancient Egypt Research Associates explores Egypt’s
archaeological record seeking the origins of civilization.
Our mission is to contribute insight and understanding to
the present awareness of cultural evolution.
In recent years, we have explored the development of
urbanism, labor organization, and the elementary structures
of ancient daily life at the once-Lost City of the pyramid
builders at Giza.
AERA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Dr.
Mark Lehner and Matthew McCauley, with the assistance of Margaret Sears, in 1985 for the purpose of
funding and facilitating the research of the Giza Plateau
Mapping Project, which grew out of the Sphinx Project.
