Publisher's Synopsis
The Papyrus of Me is the ultimate gift for Ancient Egyptian enthusiasts! This book has been created for those with an interest in Ancient Egyptology, and is an adapted version of the Papyrus of Ani, written circa 1250 BCE in the 19th Dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt for the Ani the Scribe. The original manuscript was purchased in 1888 by Sir E. A Wallis Budge for the collection of the British Museum, where it remains today. To personalize this manuscript, the purchaser or gift recipient completes the book by inserting their own name in hieroglyphs in blank cartouches embedded in the text. The cartouche replaces the name "Ani," where it occurs in the original text. The book also contains a Hieroglyphics Translation Chart in the back of the book for the modern scribe to translate their name into ancient Egyptian. No student, fan or admirer of ancient Egypt should be without their own personal copy of this manuscript.
