About the author
Born in London in 1873, H. R. Hall — usually known in life as Harry Reginald Hall — became an English Egyptologist and historian with a long career at the British Museum. He is identified in reliable reference sources as Henry Reginald Holland Hall, and his work is closely tied to the study of both Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities.
Hall is remembered not only as a museum scholar but also as a writer who made ancient history readable for a broad public. Reference material connected with his career describes him as an Egyptologist, archaeologist, and historian, and his published work ranged across Egypt and the ancient Near East.
He died in 1930. A suitable verified portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources checked during this search, so no profile image is included.
