A review by elcilor
Writings from Ancient Egypt by

It's remarkable that thousands of years later, it is still largely possible to determine what was written in various Ancient Egyptian texts. What I will remember is that Ancient Egypt was a masculine, boastful, stratified society, but therefore also humble in other contexts. The highlight of the many texts for me was Be a Writer, which highlights the disadvantages of many professions. This text makes clear what professions existed in Ancient Egypt and that all these professions involved a tough or dangerous lifestyle. If, on the other hand, you were a scribe, you had a respectable profession and an easy life. The war reports were also impressive, although I do not envy the protagonists.
