Immerse yourself in the rich storytelling tradition of Ancient Egypt with Flinders Petrie’s second collection of tales.

Originally published in 1899, Egyptian Tales, Translated from the Papyri - Second Series, XVIIIth to XIXth Dynasty presents a fascinating selection of stories that reveal the imagination, culture, and values of Ancient Egypt during its New Kingdom period. Skilfully translated from ancient papyri, these timeless tales provide a glimpse into the world of a civilisation that continues to captivate the modern mind.

Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), a pioneering British archaeologist, dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of the ancient world. Born in Kent, England, he displayed an early talent for archaeology, surveying Roman monuments as a teenager. Over a distinguished career, he made numerous groundbreaking discoveries, including the Merneptah Stele, a pivotal artifact in Egyptian history. His innovative methods and substantial contributions to archaeology earned him a knighthood in 1923.
