The Association Égyptologique Reine Élisabeth was founded by Jean
Capart in memory of Queen Élisabeth's visit to the tomb of Tutankhamun,
on February 18, 1923. Its main purpose was to stimulate egyptological
and papyrological research in Belgium. Over the years the association
has become a scholarly institution, which promotes the study of the
history and civilisation of Pharaonic, Graeco-Roman, Christian and
Arabic Egypt.
