Judicial Papyrus of Turin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Judicial Papyrus of Turin The Judicial Papyrus of Turin (also Turin legal papyrus) is an ancient Egyptian record of the trials held against conspirators plotting to assassinate Ramesses III in what is referred to as the "harem conspiracy". The papyrus contains mostly summaries of the accusations, convictions and punishments meted out.〔Vernus, ''op.cit.'', pp.108f.〕 Two further papyri deal with the magical aspects of this case: the Rollin and Lee papyri describe the magic used and the punishments apportioned, which in all three cases was a death sentence. ==Historical background== The reign of Ramesses III was characterized by external conflict and internal decline, which seem to have weakened the position of the pharaoh, surrounded by servants and officials of foreign descent. Symptomatic for the state of the country was the apparent incapability of the bureaucracy to supply the workers at Deir el Medina which brought about the first recorded strike in the history of mankind in the 29th year of Ramesses' reign.〔Edwards, ''op.cit.'', p.246〕 In this atmosphere of uncertainty, Queen Tiye〔Tiye is generally thought to have been one of Ramesses's minor wives (cf. Edwards, ''op.cit.'', p.246), but Breasted thought that it was not impossible for her to have been the mother or stepmother of Ramesses III (Breasted, ''op.cit.'', p.208)〕 wanted to substitute her own son Pentawer for Ramesses' designated heir, Ramesses-Heqamaatre-Meriamun, a son of the main royal wife Ese (Isis),〔Breasted, ''op.cit.'' §416〕 and she had no problems finding influential people who would assist her.
