Gaston Maspero fu un egittologo francese, noto per aver reso popolare il termine "Popoli del Mare" in un articolo del 1881. Il suo lavoro si addentrò nell'archeologia e nella linguistica egiziana, contribuendo a una più profonda comprensione dell'antico Egitto. Maspero cercò di rendere la storia egiziana accessibile a un pubblico più vasto e la sua ricerca continua a influenzare l'egittologia moderna. Suo figlio, Henri Maspero, divenne un noto sinologo e studioso dell'Asia orientale.
