A lecture delivered by Arthur C. Mace in 1928. This work is part of Mace's broader academic contributions to Egyptology, which also include co-authoring The Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen with Howard Carter and documenting excavations at Lisht and Abydos. Here he demontrates that Egyptian writing is not just a collection of animal and other hieroglyphic signs, but rather that many Egyptian inscriptions throughout Egypt's vast history of writing, can indeed be described as literature. An interesting short read.
