Un-Amen's Mission to The Lebanon to Obtain Trunks Of Cedar Trees To Make A New Barge For Amen-Ra

THIS remarkable narrative, written in hieratic under the XXIst dynasty, is found on a papyrus which was discovered at Al-Khibah, opposite Feshn in Upper Egypt. It was purchased from a dealer at Luxor by W. Golenischeff, who published it in Kecueil de Travaux en Egptt. et Assyr. Tome V, Paris, 1899, p. 74 f. Many difficult passages of the text were elucidated by Erman in Zeitschrift für ägypt. Sprache, Bd. 38, Leipzig, 1900. Several translations of it have been published in English, French and German. The document is usually considered to be historical in character, but both Maspero and Wiedemann regarded it as clever historical fiction.
