Code: ALGY374

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This module introduces students to Late Egyptian and to the important body of source material written in this phase of the Ancient Egyptian language. Late Egyptian is the phase of Ancient Egyptian in which were written primary sources such as the tomb robbery papyri, the vast wealth of textual documentation from Deir el-Medina (which provides an unparalleled insight into the social and religious life of an Ancient Egyptian community) as well as late New Kingdom literary stories and miscellanies from the Ramesside era.
