Relating to or characteristic of Egyptology; of or concerning the scientific study of ancient Egyptian civilization.
From Egyptology plus -ical (a variant of -ic used to create adjectives). The -ical ending is sometimes used interchangeably with -ic but often sounds more formal or technical.
Egyptological expeditions in the 19th and early 20th centuries were often more about treasure-hunting than science, but modern egyptological work uses DNA analysis and ground-penetrating radar to study mummies without unwrapping them.
