Only a small fraction of the works of the once rich and varied literature of Ancient Egypt has reached us. It arose thousands of years earlier than the Iliad and the Odyssey and many works of artistic creativity of the peoples of India and China. Almost 4,000 years ago, the legend of the “Shipwrecked Man” was written down. Other texts, for example “Pharaoh Khufu and the Sorcerers,” were written down, however, somewhat later, but we are separated by almost 2800 years. Many stories developed in folklore and literature of almost all peoples of the world first received literary form in ancient Egyptian fairy tales. This does not mean that Egypt is generally the birthplace of fairy tales, but more ancient tales than Egyptian ones are not yet known. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
