A wide-ranging anthology of texts from one of the world's longest continuous civilizations, gathering hymns, tales, letters, poems, and wisdom literature spanning thousands of years of Egyptian life. Rather than a single epic, it offers a window into how the Egyptians spoke to their gods, their dead, and one another, in voices both official and intimately personal.
