Abstract

The Story of Sinuhe is one of the best preserved, best known, and most often read, translated, analysed, and discussed literary texts from ancient Egypt.¹ It has been known for more than a century and has inspired both Egyptologists and fiction writers.² Yet, despite all that modern scholarship has achieved so far, many would agree that the story has not been fully understood with regards to its form, meaning and context.³
