The Story of Fear and Magicians
"The story of Khufu and the sorcerers is the first fictional sequence in the eyes of many historians, as her papyrus, known as the Westcar Papyrus, was collected in relation to Miss Westcar, and this papyrus is currently preserved in the Berlin Museum, which he bought from the possessions of PepsiCo, which was taken from her owner (Westcar) during His stay in England, and this papyrus is very similar to the series "One Thousand and One Nights, which became famous throughout the Abbasid Empire and filled with many stories.The papyrus dates back to the Twelfth Dynasty era, but the events of its stories took place during the era of the ancient state and was attributed to the era of kings who made their reputation and their effects were a testament to the greatness of their rule, and only the conclusion of the papyrus was preserved since a large part of its introduction is missing, and in this conclusion King Khufu orders Acknowledgment of the work of the king (prose of Khatt) and his charismatic chief of the apostates and the high priest who knew the sacred books, by offering sacrifices and placing them in their grave.
“The most important thing in the papyrus is the story of the (traitorous wife), in which it is said that King Khufu instructed his counselor, who stands before him, to collect for him his children who attended and stood before him, so he said to them: Which of you can tell stories from the works of magic and magicians?”
"Then Prince Khafraa, who was the second pyramid in Giza, came to his father, King Khufu, and said to him, I will tell about your majesty a miracle that took place during the reign of your father, King Neb Ka, who went to the temple of God Ptah in Memphis and was the chief priest of the deceased in it and called Oba Honor.”
"Prince Khafraa went on to recount the story of the reciting priest of the temple of the god Ptah Oba Honor, and how he was married to a young woman who loved a resident of the city and began to correspond with him through one of her servants, and how she was sending him gifts until he surrendered to her and before contacting her and attending to her."
One day, this lover told Oba Honor’s wife that her husband owned a house in a suburb that he owned on the edge of a lake, and offered to go to that house on the edge of the lake to spend time enjoying, so the wife sent to the house manager instructing him to prepare the house in preparation for her coming to spend some time, and she went The wife and her lover spent the day drinking and enjoying the evening until the sunset. When the lover came, the lover went to the lake to bathe and the wife's maid stood to serve him like all the other servants of the bathroom, and the house manager saw everything that happened.
And when the earth lit up and the second day arrived, the headmaster went to his master, the priest Oppa Honor, and told him what had happened from the wife and lover, so the priest shocked and thought a little and ordered the head of the house to bring him the box made of gold and ebony, and he was able, including inside the box, to make a crocodile of seven wax lengths A talisman recited to him and he told the crocodile to arrest anyone who bathed in his lake, and he told the house manager to put the crocodile in the lake after the lover descended to it to bathe.
"And the wife sent as usual to the house manager to prepare it, and the wife went to the house and as usual she took the lover and the maid and went to spend her day, and after they spent the day in fun and drink it was time for sunset and the lover went as usual to the lake to bathe, and the house manager implemented the order of Oba Oner and sent the crocodile made from Wax to the lake, and immediately the crocodile made of wax and the length of seven wires turned into a true crocodile length of seven arms, and he caught the lover and sank him to the bottom of the lake.
"The maid waited for the lover to go out, as usual, to serve him, but to no avail, so she returned to the wife who was amazed by the disappearance of the lover, but she thought that he might have neglected the maid and left for the city, so she returned to the city with the maid with her, and Oba Honor was at the time attached to King Nab Naba for a period Seven days, during which the lover stayed on the bottom of the lake without breathing, the headmaster went to Oba Honor and told him that he had fulfilled what he had ordered, and then Oba Honor turned to King Nab as saying .
"May Your Majesty come and see the wonderful occurrences that occurred during your Majesty's reign
"King Neb Ka wondered, and went with Oba Honor, to the lake, where the reciting priest called Oba Honor to order the crocodile, ordering him to bring the lover, so the king appeared on the surface of the water, so King Neb Ka rose from the view of the crocodile, and Opa Honor opened his hand and grabbed the crocodile and turned into his hand into a crocodile of wax again. At that point, Oba Oner told King Neb as it was the story of the wife and lover, and he asked the king to make up his mind about it.
"Then King Neb said," As for the crocodile, take it (i.e. the lover), for it is yours. Then the crocodile took the man and dived him to the lake, and no one knew about him where he went. "
“As for the wife, the king (Neb Ka) decided to take it to one of the fields north of the Governance’s headquarters, set fire to it and throw its ashes into the river.
And once Prince Khafraa finished telling his story to King Khufu, King Khufu ordered to offer a sacrifice to King Nab, which amounted to a thousand loaves of bread and a hundred pots of beer and ox and two kilns of incense, and to present to the chief recited priest Oba Honor a sacrifice of a loaf of bread and a vessel of Beer and a large piece of meat as an agent of incense.
There is no doubt that this story carries to us the extent of the ancient Egyptian’s influence of magic and magicians and the power of the word in the social construction of the ancient Egyptian. It also notes the extent to which society in ancient Egypt denounced the crime of adultery in particular and treason in general, and the rule of King Nab Ka that he issued on The wife burned and the lover was drowned, indicating that the punishment for marital treason crimes for the ancient Egyptian was a heavy punishment
Since ancient times .
