The 19th Dynasty Ostracon found in Deir El Medina records the prologue of General Sinuhe. He escaped Egypt to the Levant after the assassination of Pharaoh Amenemhat I. He was ordered to return to Egypt after 30 years abroad. This is one of the Papyrus that was used by a Scribe to practise their handiwork in Scribe School
