The Admonitions of Ipuwer
Also known as The Papyrus Ipuwer and The Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage
Book • 1250
The Admonitions of Ipuwer is a significant ancient Egyptian literary work, dated to the Middle Kingdom, which vividly portrays a chaotic Egypt where social norms are inverted and disaster prevails.
It is often compared to biblical accounts, such as the Exodus, due to its descriptions of calamities like the Nile turning to blood.
However, scholars generally view it as a work of the 'national disaster' genre rather than a historical account.
