Explain what it is

[edit]

Non-Egyptologists won't understand what it represents. With a lot of clicking I found out that the stories are originally from a wide range of epochs. Why were these stories collected on one papyrus? Were such antologies a common phenomenon in Egypt? What was the cultural context? Why specifically "the Harper's song *from the tomb of K. Intef*", is it a copy of that very text, or just a new rendering of a traditional story, only preserved until today in one more version which happens to be in that tomb? Pls try to clarify. As it is now, the articlr offers no cultural context whatsoever. Thanks. Arminden (talk) 07:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we know anything about its origin? Arminden (talk) 07:19, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
