UN PAPIRO INSEGNA L'EFFICIENZA DELL'EGITTO ANTICO

Short Story: Learning From Papyrus
The Khufu papyrus archive on show 
at the Egyptian Museum shows the 
highly efficient administrative system 
in place during the pharaoh’s reign.
A collection of three dozen fragments of 
papyri has been put on display for the 
first time in a special exhibition in 
the foyer of the Egyptian Museum in 
Tahrir Square in Cairo after their 
discovery in 2013 in the entrance to two 
caves at Wadi Al-Jarf 119 km from 
Suez by a Franco-Egyptian mission 
led by French Egyptologist Pierre Tallet 
and Egyptian Egyptologist 
Al-Sayed Mahfouz, writes Nevine El-Aref.

Mahfouz described the discovery of 
the papyri as “very important” because 
they show the history of international 
maritime navigation in Egypt and 
of ancient Egyptian writing during the 
Old Kingdom. The papyri are written 
in early hieratic writing and hieroglyphics.

Wadi Al-Jarf is one of the oldest 
ports discovered anywhere in the 
world, though two others, Wadi Gawasis 
south of Safaga and Ain Sokhna south 
of Suez, are of similar structure and 
have also been discovered on the 
Red Sea coast dating from 
the later Middle Kingdom. The 
papyri make up “the oldest archive 
of ancient Egyptian writing ever 
discovered,” Mahfouz told the 
Al-Ahram Weekly, explaining that 
that they were older than the 
Al-Gebelein papyri dating to the 
end of the Fourth Dynasty and the 
Abusir papyri dating to the end 
of the fifth.

“We know from these papyri that 
the reign of Khufu was 26 years long 
and not 16 or 20 as had previously 
been thought,” he said. He added 
that the papyri contained 
documents recording the 
commodities delivered to workers 
in Wadi Al-Jarf in antiquity. These 
came from various places in the 
Nile Delta, confirming central control 
over the country’s affairs at the time. 
The text of the papyri is in the form 
of a table showing each category 
of commodity and registering what 
should be given to workers. Black 
characters show what has been 
delivered by the administration, and 
red is used to indicate what is still 
expected.

Among the papyri are two fragments 
of a large papyrus measuring 1.5 to 2m 
long known as the “Log of Merer” 
and showing the daily lives of 
workers at Wadi Al-Jarf. Mahfouz 
said that Merer, whose name means 
“beloved one,” was a middle-ranking 
official in charge of skilled workers 
and sailors, probably numbering 
around 40 men, at the time. 
These used to transport limestone 
blocks from the Torah quarries 
on the east bank of the Nile to 
the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza.

The blocks were moved across 
the Nile and by canal in two or 
three days. The document indicates 
that there was also a logistics 
centre called Ro-She Khufu where 
most of the procedures were 
carried out. This was under the 
authority of vizier Ankh-Haef, a 
half-brother of Khufu, who was 
probably the architect responsible 
for the construction of the Great 
Pyramid in its final stages as 
the original architect, Hemiunu, 
died during the construction work.

“This papyrus in particular is a 
very important discovery because 
it gives details of the administrators 
who directed the construction work 
on the Great Pyramid and the 
strong administrative regime 
during Khufu’s reign,” Mahfouz 
said, adding that it also showed 
that the Pyramid’s construction 
was a national project. A collection 
of ropes, the remains of boats, 
and anchors was also discovered.
