A talk on the Inaros (Pedubastis) Cycle, a set of late tales based on historical figures

Professor Kim Ryholt studied at the University of Copenhagen, Freie Universität in Berlin, and Julius-Maximilians Universität in Würzburg, and has been employed by the University of Copenhagen since 1994. He is responsible for the Papyrus Carlsberg Collection and the associated international research project since 1999, and much of his research, mainly funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, is related to the invaluable collection of ancient manuscripts in the collection, in particular the remains of the only extant temple library from ancient Egypt. The library pertains to the temple of Soknebtunis at the site at Tebtunis where he participates in the ongoing Franco-Italian excavations, and he is also responsible for the international publication programme relating to the numerous demotic papyri.
