  • The tale of the shipwrecked sailor is a Middle Kingdom account of an Ancient Egyptian voyage to "the King's mines" (location unspecified). The papyrus containing the story was found in the Imperial Museum in St. Petersburg and there is no information about where it was originally found. In this case we know the name of the scribe (Amenaa) who copied it and who claimed to be "excellent of fingers" despite a few slips in the copying. It is the first in the tradition of castaway stories, of which the best-known are the stories of Sinbad and Robinson Crusoe. The tale expresses the fears castaways experience, the loneliness and the fear of dying in a foreign country, a recurrent theme in Egyptian literature.
