Born in Amsterdam, Henri Frankfort served in the army of the netherlands during World War I and later studied history at the University of Amsterdam before transferring to University College, London, to work on his M.A. with sir william matthew flinders petrie. From 1925 until 1929, Frankfort directed excavations for the egypt exploration society at Tell el amarna, abydos, and Armant. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Leiden in 1927.
In 1929, Frankfort was invited by the great American ancient historian Henry Breasted to be field director of the University of Chicago’s oriental institute’s Iraq Expedition at Diyala, a position he held until 1937. In 1932, he was appointed Research Professor of Oriental Archaeology at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago and concurrently held the position of extraordinary professor in the history and archaeology of the ancient Near East at the University of Amsterdam. During World War II, Frankfort lived in Chicago and concentrated on research, publications, and teaching, and during the war and afterward he influenced a generation of U.S. student archaeologists and anthropologists.
Frankfort published fifteen books, among which are the seminal Studies in Early Pottery of the Near East (1924–1927), Cylinder Seals (1939), Ancient Egyptian Religion: An Interpretation (1948), Kingship and the Gods (1948), and The Art and Architecture of the Ancient Orient (1954). He also wrote over seventy-three journal articles and as many book reviews.
In 1949, he accepted the directorship of the Warburg Institute in London and a professorship in the history of preclassical antiquity at the University of London. He last visited the Near East in 1952 as a Guggenheim fellow to research and write The Art and Architecture of the Ancient Orient.
