In the early 19th century a papyrus dating back to the
Middle Kingdom was discovered in Egypt. The papyrus was ta-
ken to the Leiden Museum in Holland and translated by A.H.
Gardiner in 1909. The entire text appears in the book Admoniti-
ons of an Egyptian from a Hieratic Papyrus in Leiden, and describes
major changes in Egypt; famine, drought, the slaves' flight from
Egypt with their assets, and death all over the nation. The papy-
rus was written by an Egyptian called Ipuwer and it appears
from its contents that this individual personally witnessed the
disasters that struck Egypt. ("The Ten Plagues – Live From
Egypt," Rabbi Mordechai Becher, www.ohr.org.il/yhiy/artic-
le.php/838.) This papyrus is a most significant hand-written
description of the catastrophes, the death of Egyptian society
and the destruction of Pharaoh.
