About this book

Step into the world of Ancient Egypt with Flinders Petrie's captivating collection of tales.

Originally published in 1899, Egyptian Tales, Translated from the Papyri - First Series IVth to XIIth Dynasty by the pioneering British archaeologist Flinders Petrie offers a fascinating glimpse into the stories that circulated in Ancient Egypt. These translated tales provide insight into the beliefs, values, and daily lives of a civilisation that continues to intrigue the modern world.

Flinders Petrie (1853–1942) was a groundbreaking archaeologist whose meticulous methods revolutionised the study of ancient history. Born in Kent, England, he demonstrated an early passion for archaeology, surveying Roman monuments as a teenager. Over his illustrious career, Petrie made significant discoveries, including the Merneptah Stele, a critical artifact in understanding Ancient Egypt. His dedication to the field earned him a knighthood in 1923.
