My Thoughts

A neat collection of tales, teachings, songs, letters, and other material from ancient Egypt. My favorites were The Great Hymn to the Orb and The Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor. In the case of the Tale, it’s fun to think about that story being known by students in Egypt. Some of these writings are 3,000+ years old.
