The UEE, published by the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA, is a world-wide cooperation of Egyptologists, archaeologists, linguists, art historians, geologists and all other disciplines that are involved in research in Egypt. This reflects the interdisciplinary approach that is needed to understand and integrate the wealth of information that can be accessed about ancient Egypt and its rich culture and history. The UEE has been endorsed by the International Association of Egyptologists.
