HARRIS PAPYRUS
HARRIS PAPYRUS. Also known as Great Harris Papyrus or Papyrus
Harris I. It was acquired by collector Anthony Charles Harris
(1790–1869) from illicit excavations at Thebes in 1855, possibly at
Deir el-Medina. It is an account written during the reign of
Ramesses IV of the state of Egypt and its temples during the reign
of his father, Ramesses III, which the new king inherited. A historical
summary describes in general terms the rise of Dynasty 20 under
his grandfather, Sethnakhte. The papyrus is now housed in the
British Museum
