Summary edit

Description

The "Abusir papyrus", created in Egypt about 2454 to 2311 BC. Found in Abusir.

This papyrus is one of the most important administative documents yet found. It describes daily life in a funerary temple during the reign of Pharaoh Neferirkare. It describes administrative procedures, financial procedures, a list of priests' duties, a calendar of rituals and ceremonies, a list of offerings to be made, reports of temple income, and a list of temple objects (including notations on which were damaged or missing).
