The Karnak Hypostyle Hall Project
of the University of Memphis, William J. Murnane, Founding Director (1945-2000) Although the University of Memphis' mission to Karnak only began in 1990, the roots of the Project go back decades earlier. From the early 1970s until his untimely death in 2000, Dr. William J. Murnane was the driving force behind the recording and study of the Great Hypostyle Hall. We dedicate this site and our ongoing work to our beloved colleague. |
