Akhmim Wooden Tablets

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Akhmim wooden tablets or Cairo wooden tablets (Cairo Cat. 25367 and 25368) are two ancient Egyptian wooden writing tablets. They each measure about 18 by 10 inches and are covered with plaster. The tablets are inscribed on both sides. The inscriptions on the first tablet includes a list of servants, which is followed by a mathematical text. The text is dated to year 38 (it was at first thought to be from year 28) of an otherwise unnamed king. The general dating to the early Egyptian Middle Kingdom combined with the high regnal year suggests that the tables may date to the reign of Senusret I, ca. 1950 BC. The second tablet also lists several servants and further contains mathematical texts.
