Career


Having served in the First World War, Guy assisted with the excavations at Carchemish in Syria and El Amarna in Egypt. In 1922, he was appointed Chief Inspector of Antiquities in Palestine and began an association with the Holy Land that would last the rest of his life. He served as Director of the Tel Megiddo excavations from 1927 to 1935, and then as Director of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem from 1935 to 1939. He innovated the use of balloon photography in archaeology during his excavations at Megiddo. He returned to the British Army during the Second World War, being promoted to lieutenant colonel and serving as a military governor. With the end of the war and the independence of Israel, he remained in the country and joined the newly created Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums.[1][2][3][4]



Personal life


In 1925, Guy married Yemima, the eldest daughter of Eleazer Ben Yehuda. Together they had a daughter. His father-in-law was a Hebrew lexicographer and Zionist.[1][3]
