Ipuwer Papyrus
The Ipuwer Papyrus is a single papyrus holding an ancient Egyptian poem, called The Admonitions of Ipuwer〔(English translation of the papyrus. A translation also in R. B. Parkinson, ''The Tale of Sinuhe and Other Ancient Egyptian Poems''. Oxford World's Classics, 1999. )〕 or The Dialogue of Ipuwer and the Lord of All.〔A new edition of this papyrus has been published by Roland Enmarch: ''The Dialogue of Ipuwer and the Lord of All''〕 Its official designation is Papyrus Leiden I 344 ''recto''.〔Enmarch 2005:2–3.〕 It is housed in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, Netherlands, after being purchased from Giovanni Anastasi, the Swedish consul to Egypt, in 1828. The sole surviving manuscript dates to the later 13th century BCE (no earlier than the 19th dynasty in the New Kingdom).
The ''Ipuwer Papyrus'' describes Egypt as afflicted by natural disasters and in a state of chaos, a topsy-turvy world where the poor have become rich, and the rich poor, and warfare, famine and death are everywhere. One symptom of this collapse of order is the lament that servants are leaving their servitude and acting rebelliously. There is a dispute around interpretations of the document as an Egyptian account of the events described in the Exodus.
