Support the Theban Mapping Project
Much work still needs to be done in the field in Luxor and in the Theban Mapping Project offices in Cairo to record and preserve the rich heritage of the Theban West Bank:
  • More chambers remain to be discovered in KV 5.

  • We are actively seeking innovative ways to increase access to the royal and private tombs of Thebes while safeguarding them for future generations of tourists and scholars.

  • The dozens of memorial temples along the desert edge are threatened by rising groundwater from the adjacent agricultural land. They need to be subjected to a comprehensive protection plan and surveyed properly.

  • We plan to make information about these threatened monuments available through our website, by combining our extensive aerial and land-based photographic records with database documentation.

The Theban Mapping Project has always been a leader in using the latest technology and employing the most skilled experts and scholars in the recording, conservation and presentation of the monuments. This freely accessible website represents the fruits of more than two decades of painstaking efforts-work which has only been possible through the generosity of our past donors.

The Theban Mapping Project continues to operate without a guaranteed and steady source of income. It has no endowment to ensure that the decades of work that still need to be carried out will be completed. This is where you can make a difference. Your gift, no matter how big or small, will help us to protect and preserve the Theban monuments, and to record and present them to current and future generations.

Because the Theban Mapping Project and the American University in Cairo have non-profit status in the U.S., all donations are tax-deductible. There are two ways you can contribute to the Theban Mapping Project.
  • You can make a credit card contribution to the Theban Mapping Project using your Visa or Mastercard. Just fill out this form at the American University in Cairo's website to give via a secure internet giving site. Be sure to choose "Theban Mapping Project" in the drop-down menu of choices.. You can also set up a regular contribution to the Theban Mappjng Project in this manner. Pledged donations mean that we can plan ahead knowing that income will be forthcoming. Contributions made in this way are tax-deductible in Canada and Egypt, in addition to the U.S.

  • You can make a contribution to the Theban Mapping Project by sending a check.
