Mark Lehner

Mark Lehner is an American archaeologist who has directed the Giza Plateau Mapping Project since 1984. He is most famous for his extensive research on the construction of the Great Pyramids and mapping the ancient workers' settlement known as the Lost City of the Pyramids.

It is an extensive archaeological endeavor founded by Lehner to map the ancient settlement and infrastructure that supported the pyramid builders. The project uncovered the remains of bakeries, barracks, and administrative centers used by the laborers.

Yes, early in his career, Lehner was funded by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, an organization dedicated to the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce, to search for the legendary Hall of Records. However, his subsequent scientific fieldwork entirely shifted his focus to conventional, evidence-based Egyptology.

Lehner has frequently appeared as an expert commentator on numerous PBS documentaries, including the popular science series NOVA. He has also been featured heavily on international History Channel documentaries regarding the mysteries of ancient Egypt.
