Jacques de Morgan

Jacques de Morgan est un explorateur et archéologue du XIXe siècle, qui a travaillé en Malaisie, dans le Caucase, en Égypte et en Iran. Ses principaux travaux ont permis de démontrer l'existence d'une civilisation antérieure aux pharaons, et ont contribué à la reconnaissance de la Préhistoire orientale.
