  • Günter Dreyer (5 October 1943 – 12 March 2019) was an Egyptologist at the German Archaeological Institute. In southern Egypt, Dreyer discovered records of linen and oil deliveries which have been carbon-dated to between 3300 BCE and 3200 BCE, predating the Dynastic Period. He originally worked as a chemical laboratory assistant.He studied Egyptology, Assyriology, and ancient Near Eastern Archeology at the University of Hamburg (1969-1971) and Free University of Berlin (1971-1978). During his studies, he took part in excavations in Kamid al lawz in Lebanon, the Mortuary Temple of Seti I in Qurna, and on Elephantine. In 1978 he received his doctorate with a thesis on temple dedications from the early period and the Old Kingdom(Der Tempel der Satet 1. Die Funde der Frühzeit und des Alten Reiches).Between 1978 and 1987, Dreyer was a consultant in the Cairo department of the DAI and took part in excavations on Elephantine, in Wadi Garawi, and in Abydos . In 1987 he received a habilitation grant from the German Research Foundation and accepted a teaching position at the Free University of Berlin. In 1988, Dreyer and his colleague Werner Kaiser excavated at the temple Umm el-Qa'ab in Abydos on the cemetery "U" the burial site of the king (U-j), which is dated to the Naquada period IIIa2, known as king Scorpion I. Currently, this is the earliest known large royal tomb of old Egypt. The most important finds were about 400 large wine jars being inscribed resp. having tags showing phonetically readable characters of a script, the first of its kind in Egypt. They identify the person laid into the grave, as the inscription says, "plantation of (king) Scorpion." Script also name his successor, a king Double Falcon I. The scientific importance lies in the fact of finding Egyptian hieroglyphs which predate cuneiform script. The mentioned hieroglyphs are on small wooden tags applied to the jars, probably marking their origin and "are fully developed", as Dreyer stated. In October 1989, he became the 2nd Director of the DAI, Cairo Department. He was responsible for the editing of the department's publication and also took over the management of the excavations in Abydos. In 1997 he published his habilitation thesis The Predynastic Royal Tomb Uj in Abydos, and his early written documents, and he became head of the excavations on Elephantine. In November 1998, Dreyer became 1st director of the Cairo department of the DAI. In the same year, Dreyer found another writing on small ivory labels, and he concluded that these support the challenge to the prevailing view that the first people to write were the Sumerians of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) sometime before 3000 BCE.The academic also led excavations at the quarry cemetery in Giza (2002/03) and at the royal tombs of the 2nd dynasty in Saqqara (since 2002). He retired in 2008, and Stephan Seidlmayer was his successor. But he continued to work on his excavations and research in the following years. (en)

Durante una sua spedizione nel sud dell'Egitto, Dreyer scoprì iscrizioni, che con il metodo di datazione al carbonio 14, erano da attribuirsi a un periodo tra il 3300 a.C. e il 3200 a.C., prima del periodo dinastico dell'Egitto, ovvero prima dell'unificazione dei due regni dell'alto e del basso Egitto. Dreyer trovò delle iscrizioni su delle piccole placche di avorio che cominciarono a incrinare la classica teoria che attribuiva ai Sumeri e all'area della Mesopotamia (attuale Iraq) il primato della scrittura, intorno al 3000 a.C.
