The earliest known papyrus manuscripts date back to around the 3rd millennium BCE, with significant examples found in Egypt. One of the oldest is the "Westcar Papyrus," which contains stories about the Egyptian pharaohs and dates to the Middle Kingdom (circa 2000–1700 BCE). Additionally, the "Pyramid Texts," inscribed on the walls of pyramids, are among the earliest religious texts, originating from the Old Kingdom (circa 2686–2181 BCE). These manuscripts provide crucial insights into ancient Egyptian culture, religion, and governance.
