Egyptian Tales, Translated from the Papyri - Second Series, XVIIIth To XIXth Dynasty

About this book

Immerse yourself in the rich storytelling tradition of Ancient Egypt with Flinders Petrie's second collection of tales.

Originally published in 1899, Egyptian Tales, Translated from the Papyri - Second Series, XVIIIth to XIXth Dynasty presents a fascinating selection of stories that reveal the imagination, culture, and values of Ancient Egypt during its New Kingdom period. Skilfully translated from ancient papyri, these timeless tales provide a glimpse into the world of a civilisation that continues to captivate the modern mind.

Flinders Petrie (1853–1942), a pioneering British archaeologist, dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of the ancient world. Born in Kent, England, he displayed an early talent for archaeology, surveying Roman monuments as a teenager. Over a distinguished career, he made numerous groundbreaking discoveries, including the Merneptah Stele, a pivotal artifact in Egyptian history. His innovative methods and substantial contributions to archaeology earned him a knighthood in 1923.
