He studied under ernest renan and served as translator at the
French embassy in Constantinople and at the consulate in Jerusalem
(1867); he was later vice consul in Jaffa. In 1868 he discovered the
mesha stele and an inscription from Herod's Temple forbidding
gentiles to enter the inner court. From 1871 to 1874 he was associated
with the Palestine Exploration Fund and he identified Gezer in 1873. In
the 1880s Clermont-Ganneau helped expose the "Moabite" pottery fraud and
challenged the authenticity of the shapira manuscripts. In later
life he taught at the Collège de France. His works include La
Palestine inconnue (1876); Les fraudes archéologiques en
Palestine (1885); Archaeological Researches in
Palestine (2 vols., 1896–99); Album d'antiquités
orientales (1897). He wrote hundreds of articles and notes,
collecting them in his Études d'archéologie orientale
(1880–96) and Recueil d'archélogie orientale (1888–1920).
