Abbott Papyrus
ABBOTT Papyrus A historical document used as a
record of the Twentieth Dynasty (1196–1070 B.C.E.) in
conjunction with the AMHERST PAPYRUS and accounts of
court proceedings of the era. Serious breaches of the religious
and civil codes were taking place at this time, as
royal tombs were being plundered and mummies mutilated
or destroyed. Such acts were viewed as sacrilege
rather than mere criminal adventures. Grave robbers were
thus condemned on religious as well as state levels. The
Abbott Papyrus documents the series of interrogations
and trials held in an effort to stem these criminal activities.
In the British Museum, London, the Abbott Papyrus
now offers detailed accounts of the trials and the uncovered
network of thieves.
