SCA logo

AERA's mission in Egypt owes a debt of gratitude to the strong support and friendship of many talented professionals at the Supreme Council of Antiquities. The SCA is charged by Egypt's Ministry of Culture with the exploration, protection, and conservation of some of the world's most treasured historical objects and sites. All archaeological work in Egypt is carried out under the auspices, and in close collaboration with, the Supreme Council of Antiquities. We wish to extend our thanks to the following:

Secretary General

Zahi Hawass
