"Sinuhe the Egyptian" is an ancient Egyptian literary work, believed to have been written during the Middle Kingdom, around 1800 BCE. The story follows Sinuhe, a court official who flees Egypt after the death of Pharaoh Amenemhat I. He embarks on a journey through various lands, experiencing adventures and challenges while reflecting on his identity and homeland. The narrative explores themes of exile, loyalty, and the longing for home. Eventually, Sinuhe returns to Egypt, where he is welcomed back and granted forgiveness by the new pharaoh, Senusret I. This tale is considered one of the earliest examples of autobiographical literature.
