Agnès Cabrol
Agnès Cabrol (2 July 1964 in Avignon- January 2007 in Gordes, Vaucluse) was a French Egyptologist.
She graduated from the Ecole du Louvre in 1987, having studied under Christiane Ziegler, Claude Traunecker, and Guillemette Andreu. After graduation from the University of Paris IV, she went on an exhibition in 1991 of the Theban region of the New Kingdom of Egypt, under the direction Professor Nicolas Grimal. For the Franco-Egyptian Centre for the Study of Karnak (CFEETK), at Karnak she collected epigraphic data and made numerous archaeological observations. She also examined the Tomb of Khabekhenet with Claude Traunecker.[1] Robyn Adams Gillam notes the work that Cabrol contributed to in the understanding of the temples of the New Kingdom, and her attention to political and religious symbolism.[2] Cabrol obtained a phD from the University of Lille III in 1995, under the direction of Professor Dominique Valbelle, and joined the faculty as a lecturer.
Cabrol became an expert on Thebes, and was the author of numerous books and papers, notably Amenhotep III: le Magnifique (2000),[3] Les voies procesionelles de Thèbes (2001), and Regards sur l'orientalisme et l'égyptologie (2006).
