Papyrus Leopold II
Papyrus Leopold II is actually the upper part of a larger document, the lower part of which (Papyrus Amherst VII), presently kept in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, has been known since 1874. In 1935, Jean Capart found the Brussels papyrus among several souvenirs which king Leopold II had brought back from his travels in Egypt. This unique document relates of an official enquiry during the reign of Ramesses IX (c. 1100 BC) following robberies in t...he Theban royal necropolis. The text is carefully written in hieratic in four long columns of 19 lines.
