From the Paper:

"Ancient Egyptian culture has fascinated the world with its mysteries and secrets that seem unreachable. From the pyramids to the scattered literature, researchers are struggling to uncover the secrets that have long been buried with the lost power of the Pharaohs. Yet, at times with a little insight the culture of the Egyptians becomes much easier to understand than would seem possible. While archaeologists are fascinated with the pyramids it is the sociologists that have realized that if understood it is the literature of the ancient Egyptians that holds the key to the mystery of the past. Consider just one Pharaoh and his contribution to the cultural literature of his times. Through an analysis of just one piece of poetry we can come to an understanding of the socio-economical culture of his times and the values, which the society upheld in its power."
