The Famine Stela is an inscription written in hieroglyphs located on Sehel Island in the Nile near Aswan in Egypt, which speaks of a seven-year period of drought and famine during the reign of the 3rd dynasty king Djoser. Called The Famine Stele, it was engraved during a recent epoch, under the Ptolemees (200 BC), but certain reliable clues have led egyptologists to believe that, in an amplified form it had already become an authentic document by the beginning of the Old Kingdom (2,750 BC). It said the kings words: I was in mourning on my throne, Those of the palace were in grief.because Hapy had failed to come in time. In a period of seven years, Grain was scant, Kernels were dried upEvery man robbed his twinChildren criedThe hearts of the old were needyTemples were shut, Shrines covered with dust, Everyone was in distress.I consulted one of the staff of the Ibis, the Chief lector-priest of Imhotep, son of Ptah South-of-the-Wall.He departed, he returned to me quickly, He let me know the flow of Hapy. The Bible counterpart is found in Genesis 41: 14-24.
