anthropologist archaeologist egyptologist
Romer was educated at Ottershaw School, a boarding school near Woking, Surrey, and came to archaeology through his epigraphic studies of painting and drawing at the Royal College of Art in London.
He has created and appeared in many television archaeology series, including Romer"s Egypt, Ancient Lives, Testament, The Seven Wonders of the World, Byzantium: The Lost Empire and Great Excavations: The Story of Archaeology. Romer is probably — along with Michael Wood — the best known television presenter of ancient history. His trademark style combines gentle humour, expressive hand gestures, expertise and respect for ancient peoples.
He later worked as an artist in Persepolis and Cairo, drawing and studying ancient inscriptions.
He began his archaeological work in 1966 when he participated in the University of Chicago’s Epigraphic Survey at the temples and tombs of the ancient Egyptian site of Thebes (modern-day Luxor). From 1977 to 1979 he originated and organised a major expedition to the Valley of the Kings which carried out the first excavation there since the discovery of Tutankhamen"s tomb in 1922.
In 1979 he headed the Brooklyn Museum’s expedition to excavate the tomb of Ramesses XI. One result of this was the creation of the Theban Mapping Project. His most recent work, A History of Ancient Egypt: From the First Farmers to the Great Pyramid, was published in 2012.
Romer lives in Tuscany, Italy.
