	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Heritage \| Fiction is knowledge
		Reviewing the story, Barta soon realised that it could be used to cast a bright light on the history of Egypt and the region of Syria-Palestine in the 19th and 20th centuries BC -- the time of the Patriarchs and the earliest period covered by the Old Testament.
		He travelled to the areas described in the story to observe the nomadic way of life still practised there, particularly around the Egyptian settlements in Southern Palestine, and traced possible references to the history of the Levant during the period in which the story of Sinuhe was written.
		Sinuhe's story, although a work of fiction, is nevertheless a major contribution to our knowledge of his time, the beginning of the second millennium BC -- a period that has left a lasting imprint on the modern world.

	Story of Sinuhe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a narrative set in the aftermath of the death of Pharaoh Amenemhat I, founder of the 12th dynasty of Egypt, in the early 20th century BCE.
		The tale opens with the death of Amenemhat, and recounts the experiences of Sinuhe who learns of a murder plot to prevent the succession of Amenemhat's son Senusret I, with whom Sinuhe is returning from a military campaign in Libya.
		The story is based directly on the "The Story of Sinuhe", although adding details of a lovers' triangle romance that does not appear in the original.

	Reading the Story of Sinuhe
		Sinuhe heard the conversation between the disloyal messenger and the leader of the treasonous princes, and he believed from what could only have been its exaggerated and boastful content that Sesostris and his cause were doomed, and with them, Sinuhe himself (n Dd.i ‘nx.i r-s3.f “I did not think I would survive him”).
		Sinuhe is convinced that divine will has saved him, and these words show that now—and only now—does he express a conviction that his cowardice was not simply his fault, that there was a divine will behind it, incomprehensible but in any event relieving his conscience of personal responsibility.
		Sinuhe is forced once again to face his sense of guilt and bewilderment, and the theme of guilt, which has now reached its climax in the story, tapers off.

		In its original form the story may actually have been Sinuhe's autobiography, which he would have dictated to a scribe to be carved on the walls of his tomb as Egyptian noblemen almost invariably did.
		The events described in the story take place after Amenmhet's death and are connected with the machinations between Sesostris and one of his brothers over accession to the throne, in which Sinuhe becomes involved.
		The extant stories have come down to us in twenty-six papyrus rolls and a large number of ostraka: complete copies of 'The Story of Sinuhe' are to be found in six papyrus rolls, and fragments of it on eleven ostraka.

		The story of Jacob's flight from Canaan to escape Esau's wrath, after Jacob had stolen Esau's birthrights and paternal blessings, is a story told in cultures everywhere.
		In Egypt the story of Sinuhe, for example, tells of a young man fleeing to another country, where he stays for an extended period of time, marries into a wealthy family, and prospers in his new surroundings before he returns to his native land.
		Moses' story does resemble the story of Sinuhe in that his flight was political rather than familial.

		Although it was expressed in popular terms, the story had specific political and religious propagandist aims: to justify to a wide audience the claim of the earliest kings of Dynasty 5 to rule Egypt by emphasizing the divinity of their birth.
		Events of the Middle Kingdom are reflected in the famous Story of Sinuhe, often regarded as the greatest masterpiece of Egyptian literature.
		The story seems to accurately represent true historical events of the Middle Kingdom; it relates Sinuhe's flight from Egypt to Palestine, his adventures there, and his eventual return to Egypt to die and be buried.

		An old story in which the sentiments and behaviour are completely alien to ours would have no attraction, and one in which people think and act exactly the same as we do would hold only moderate interest.

		Adapting to their way of life, Sinuhe starts travelling through Syria-Palestine and establishes a reputation that is so good that the king of Retenu offers him his daughter in marriage.

		The tale is simple and homely, there is nothing remarkable in the contents, and the fame that the book enjoyed for centuries must have been due to the charm of its half poetic style.
		Sinuhe, a distinguished courtier of King Amenemhe't I., accompanied the heir and co-regent of this king in an expedition against the Libyans; in the meantime the old king died; the news of his death reached the camp, and Sinuhe, whose life--we know not why--was endangered by this circumstance, immediately took to flight.
		Sinuhe closes his story as follows: " Thus my life is crowned with the rewards of the king, till the day shall come for me to go hence."

		Sinuhe was the chief harem plotter, responsible for the murder.
		Sinuhe (another Moses aspect) mentions the “mistress of the red mountain.” Sesostris III (here still another Moses identity) was described by Manetho as a great warrior, and unusually mentions that the king was of great height “4 cubits, 3 palms 2 fingers breadth” which is about 6 feet, 6 inches tall, also with red hair.
		Sinuhe himself was related to the goddess Hathor who had appeared to a herdsman in a sycamore.

	The Ancient Egyptian Concept of Fate
		Hence, in the Story of Sinuhe, the protagonist describes his flight to western Asia as a "fateful flight".
		Basically, the message of this story is that one could, by divine intervention, alter their fate with a longer lifespan and perhaps another means of death.
		In the final analysis, people of course were not informed of their divine fate, and the stories we have from ancient text are those told mostly after an event occurred in a person's life, rather than as a prediction.

		The oft-mentioned story of using a sheepskin to capture fine alluvial gold (gold dust presumably) seems plausible enough, but the red fleece of the Hittites, and the golden sheep of Helios, and as some of the ancients insisted, the golden sheep (instead of apples) of the Hesperides, introduces additional questions.

		Sinuhe overcomes self-doubt to gain confidence that he is "strong of arm" The birth from a tree motif (son of sycamore) refers also to an eclipse motif seen in CT 156.
