Greek epigram was actually much more diverse, as the Milan Papyrus now indicates.

The Edwin Smith Papyrus is regarded as a copy of several earlier works and was written c. 1600 BC.

Papyrus () is a thick paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt.

Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt ( at least as far back as the First Dynasty ), but it was also used throughout the Mediterranean region.

Papyrus was first manufactured in Egypt as far back as the third millennium BC.

Papyrus had the advantage of being relatively cheap and easy to produce, but it was fragile and susceptible to both moisture and excessive dryness.

Papyrus was replaced in Europe by the cheaper, locally produced products parchment and vellum, of significantly higher durability in moist climates, though Henri Pirenne's connection of its disappearance with the Muslim overrunning of Egypt is contended.

Papyrus was documented as in use as late as the 12th century in the Byzantine Empire, but examples have survived.

Another was composed in the period immediately following the death of Ramses III ( Papyrus Harris I ).

The Harris Papyrus which was found in a tomb at Medinet Habu also recalls Ramses III's battles with the Sea Peoples, declaring that the Peleset were " reduced to ashes.

However, if the ka was not properly prepared, this journey could be fraught with dangerous pitfalls and strange demons ; hence some of the earliest religious texts discovered, such as the Papyrus of Ani ( commonly known as The Book of the Dead ) and the Pyramid Texts were actually written as guides to help the deceased successfully navigate the duat.

The game, developed under the direction of David Kaemmer and Randy Cassidy, was published in 1998 by the Papyrus division of Sierra Entertainment.

Papyrus were aware that there would be difficulties for the novice even before the simulator was released.

Since the game was proprietary software, and there were no official tools or SDKs available from Papyrus, almost everything had to be worked out from scratch, the whole process taking about four years.

The execution was recorded in an Aramaic papyrus document ( Papyrus Brooklyn 13 ).

It has also been demonstrated through the Great Harris Papyrus, which states that a statue of the goddess was made alongside those of Ptah and their son, the god Nefertem, during the reign of Rameses III, and that it was commissioned for the gods of Memphis at the heart of the great temple.

Here, as Papyrus Wilbour notes in its wealth of taxation records and land assessments, the temple of Nephthys was a specific foundation by Ramesses II, located in close proximity to ( or within ) the precinct of the enclosure of Set.

To be certain, the House of Nephthys was one of fifty individual, land-owning temples delineated for this portion of the Middle Egyptian district in Papyrus Wilbour.

While Manetho names Necherophes and the Turin King List names Nebka as the first ruler of the Third dynasty, many Egyptologists now believe Djoser was first king of this dynasty, pointing out that the order in which some predecessors of Khufu are mentioned in the Papyrus Westcar suggests Nebka should be placed between Djoser and Huni, not before Djoser.

The Great Harris Papyrus or Papyrus Harris I, which was commissioned by his son and chosen successor Ramesses IV, chronicles this king's vast donations of land, gold statues and monumental construction to Egypt's various temples at Piramesse, Heliopolis, Memphis, Athribis, Hermopolis, This, Abydos, Coptos, El Kab and other cities in Nubia and Syria.

Gresley was sure that steam could do the job equally well and with a decent fare-paying load behind the locomotive and so, following trials in 1935 with one of Gresley's A3 Pacifics No. 2750 Papyrus, which recorded a new maximum of and completed the journey in under four hours, the LNER authorised Gresley to produce a streamlined development of the A3.

Papyrus is made from the stem of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus.

* How Papyrus Paper is being made

Many of these sales came quite late in the game's life, when increase in CPU power made the game run more smoothly, and after Papyrus had released patches to allow GPL to work with modern graphics accelerators.

Papyrus sedge ( and its close relatives ) has a very long history of use by humans, notably by the Ancient Egyptians — it is the source of papyrus paper, parts of it can be eaten, and the highly buoyant stems can be made into boats.

Another argument made for the late dating of Thomas is based upon the fact that Saying 5 in the original Greek ( Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 654 ) seems to follow the vocabulary used in the gospel according to Luke (), and not the vocabulary used in the gospel according to Mark ().

Papyrus, made only in Egypt, no longer appeared north of the Alps after the 7th century: writing reverted to using animal skins, indicating an isolation from wealthier areas.

However, Takelot II's brief 25th year is attested by a donation stela made by his son in his position as High Priest at Thebes shortly before Takelot died ; it granted 35 aurourae of land to Takelot II's daughter, Karomama E. Papyrus Berlin 3048 has also now been conclusively dated to Takelot II's ( and not Takelot III's ) reign due to the attestation of a certain Harsiese — designated the fourth prophet of Amun — in this document who is known to have served in office during king Takelot II's reign.

Furthermore, Lepsius never made the text of the Westcar Papyrus public ; he stored the papyrus at home in the attic, where it was found later after his death.

Papyrus Westcar is a re-used papyrus made of the plant Cyperus papyrus.

It is no wonder, since the author had to be careful — the Westcar Papyrus was possibly made available for public entertainment, or at least, for public study.

The papyrus itself ( Papyrus Leiden I 344 ) is a copy made during the New Kingdom of Egypt.

Paser, Mayor of Eastern Thebes or Karnak, accused his subordinate Paweraa, the Mayor of West Thebes responsible for the safety of the necropolis, of being either culpable in this wave of robberies or negligent in his duties of protecting the Valley of the Kings from incursions by tomb robbers.

At present, only Thijs ' proposal that Papyrus BM 10054 dates to Year 10 of the Whm-Mswt ( or Year 28 proper of Ramesses XI ) has been confirmed by other scholars such as Von Beckerath and Annie Gasse — the latter in a JEA 87 ( 2001 ) paper which studied several newly discovered fragments belonging to this document.

Papyrus Anastasi IV, written several centuries later, also refers to copper ( as well as cows ) sent from Alashiya to Egypt.
