Khufu tells his son to bring Dedi to him Hardedf went on his journey and met up with Dedi (he didn’t look old) He invited Dedi to the palace and Dedi agrees to come. They wanted to see Dedi’s power so they decided to cut off the head of a criminal but Dedi said no (he wouldn’t perform it on a person) They brought a goose a severed it’s head and Dedi put it back together using magic and the goose was well. This magic was performed on a waterfowl and an ox Khufu then asked about the shines Dedi said he didn’t know how many there were but knew that they were in a chest made for flint knives in a chamber called the inventory of Heliopolis but only the children of Reddedet could lead him there But the sons of Reddedet were from generations to come (maybe three) This made King Khufu sad but Dedi told him his great grandchildren would be able to make the journey King Khufu told Dedi to stay with Hardedf and he was given 500 loaves of bread, one shoulder of beef, and 1000 jugs of beer daily.

Fourteen days goes by and Reddedet arranges the home The maid had told her that the grain had run out so Reddedet decided to use some that the musicians had left behind and that she would refill it after When the maid went close to the grain she heard music, she told Reddedet Reddedet also heard music They sealed it in a room and when Reworse returned from the fields Reddedet told him what had happened, he was pleased One day the maid and Reddedet got into an argument and the maid got beat The maid grew angry and ran to tell the king what happened Along the way she saw her older brother and told him what happened He whipped her with flaw whip The maid runs into the water to recover but a crocodile eats her The brother goes to tell Reddedet what happened Text in broken Names to memorize with brief description King Khufu King who is told all the stories Khafre 2nd son of Khufu who tells the tale of Webaoner whose wife has an affair with another man Webaoner Is a priest who makes a crocodile out of magic to kill the man who is sleeping with his wife Nebka The king who sets Webaoner’s wife on fire and throws her ashes into the river Baufre 3rd son of Khufu who tells the tale of the bored kind Sneferu Sneferu Bored king (father of Khufu) who wants to watch naked women row a boat Djadjamonkh Priest who gives the naked woman on a boat idea to the king and displaces the water to find one of the woman’s charm so that they would continue rowing Hardedf 4th son of Khufu who tells the tale of Dedi and brings him to his father Dedi A magical old man who can reattach severed heads and knows the location of Thoth’s shrine Reddedet Mother of Wosret, Sahure, and Keku Reworsre Father of Wosret, Sahure, and Keku Wosret, Sons of Reddedet and Reworsre (Re) who are said to know the Sahure, and location of Thoth’s shrine Keku .

  • Fiction's Early Dawn
    Fiction's Early Dawn It can be reasonably affirmed that the first continuous prose fiction was written in Ancient Egyptian despite the fact that the language had no word for "novel" or "story." The relevant term, in Roman script, is "mdt nfrt" which is usually translated as belles lettres or fine speech.1 The Egyptians may not have had a word for it but their prose fiction surprises, first on account of its primacy and then because of its Promethean enthusiasms, its fascinating intrigues and concern with magic, its richness of language, and its archetypal, if primitive characterization. The papyrus of two of the earliest stories, "Khafra's Tale" and "Hordedef s Tale" from Tales of the Magicians was probably written in the Xllth Dynasty (Middle Kingdom, 1995-1790 B.C.) but Pétrie claims2 because of the crudities, because of the childish profusion of marvels in Tales of the Magicians, that they probably belong to a different and much earlier age. Magic—awe of the wonderful and the impossible, the pilgrimage to Delphi, to Mecca, or to the guru, the waving of the wand, the quest for the golden fleece or for the philosopher's touchstone—has always been one of the dominant components of man's narratives. Next to sex, with which, in a manner of speaking, it is sometimes intertwined, magic and its necessary concomitant superstition are probably the strongest forces in man's life, and thus they appear in novels, the recordings of man's life. Two stories from the dawn of fiction are told by his sons to King Khufu.

  • Law in Ancient Egyptian Fiction
    LAW IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FICTION Russ VerSteeg* INTRODUCTION The spirit of ancient Egypt has captivated most of us at some time. Pyramids, mummies, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, and the romance of archaeology mesmerize us and kindle our imaginations. Egypt seizes us with its powerful magic and mystery. Even before Jean Francois Champollion achieved his first major philological breakthroughs in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 1820s, people were fascinated by the physical vestiges of ancient Egyptian culture and civilization: its art, artifacts, and architecture. However, once Champollion's work began to bear fruit, a new world of Egyptology burst onto the scene. Prior to Champollion, almost all Egyptolo- gists had been anthropologists and/or archaeologists. Now philology provides access to the writing of the ancient Egyptians; and, a variety of types of writing have survived.

  • 'Ancient Egyptian Autobiographies Chiefly of the Middle Kingdom: a Study and an Anthology'
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 1988 Ancient Egyptian Autobiographies Chiefly of the Middle Kingdom: A Study and an Anthology Lichtheim, Miriam Abstract: By a selection of sixty ancient Egyptian autobiographical inscriptions, presented in new transla- tions, the author examines the growth of the autobiographical genre during the Old and Middle Kingdoms, from ca. 2500 to ca. 1800 B.C. The Old Kingdom created the basic form: the autobiography as an inte- gral part of the inscriptional and pictorial program of tombs - the planned and often sumptuous tombs of the well-to-do, who filled the major positions in the royal administration. After the decline oftheOld Kingdom, the rising middle class diversified the genre, and loci other than tombs, notably free-standing stelae and rock faces of quarries, also became carriers of autobiographical self-presentations. The cult of Osiris added yet another dimension: autobiographical stelae erected near the Osiris temple at Abydos and specifically designed to place their owners in the care of the god-of-the-dead. The texts of thesestelae often describe their position as being ”at the terrace of the great god”, a description which has caused much scholarly rumination. Just what was the terrace of the great god? This study demonstrates that the texts themselves furnish the conclusive answer. Finally, the reader meets a magnate of Middle Egypt in his splendid tomb, whose carefully stylized autobiography is a classic of Middle Kingdom oratory.

But Narmer is betrayed by his brother, and mauled by a crocodile. Now lame and horribly scarred, he is less than perfect and no longer the Golden One. His brother Hawk will be King of Thinis. And rather than remain as Hawk's Vizier, Narmer decides to leave his home and take his chances with the mysterious Trader and the crippled Nitho, whose healing skills have saved his life. Now Narmer must face the desert, and the People of the Sand as well as the challenges in Ur, the largest and most advanced city in the world of 5,000 years ago. Here Narmer learns of farming, irrigation, tamed donkeys and carts with wheels. Most of all, he learns what it means to be a true king and leader.

ISSN 1948-7487 (print), 2167-7565 (online) Abstract The Joseph Smith Papyri have been a hot topic among scholars, especially since the resurfacing of fragments of the collection in the late 1960s. The facsimiles in particular have received much attention in scholarly circles, especially in relation to their accompany- ing explanations given by Joseph Smith. This article contributes evidence of the accuracy of Smith’s expla- nations, despite his lack of knowledge concerning Egyptology. Specifically, this article discusses the relationship between “the idolatrous god of pharaoh” in Facsimile 1 with the Egyptian crocodile god, Sobek (also known as Sebek, Sobk, and Suchos), and his con- nection to the Middle Kingdom pharaoh Amenemhet III.
