Mini Episode: Memphis River Blues (The Healing)
Published 8 years, 5 months ago
Description
A Scribe yearns for a holiday, and goes in search of peace.
Two texts, written between 1400 and 1300 BCE, tell of the exhausted scribe's yearning for a holiday. Sick of work, he struggles to focus on tasks, and finds his heart wandering off to more pleasant places. The city of Memphis, Men-nefer (or Ineb-Hedj) looms large in his fantasies.
