Through the presentation displayed in the chapters of this study, we can determine a number of the important facts which aren’t to be neglected by any researcher of the history and the civilization of Egypt. These facts are:
The French occupation was the first that talked about describing those monuments. But through the study, we can assert that the travelers of the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries preceded them in talking about these monuments.
Egyptology was indebted for the French existence in Egypt as the French presented Egypt ancient monuments for the European world in the light of the description of Egypt encyclopedia. This motivated many of the travelers to come to Egypt to study its monuments.
We called some of these travelers ”the monuments pirates” as a result of the continuous plunder processes they committed that the world museums were full of the ancient Egyptian monuments.
As a result of the occupation scientists did towards Upper Egyptian monuments, a number of effects resulted. We divided those effects into:
a) Positive effects
b) Negative effects
