Wit and Humour in Ancient Egypt
 
The ancient Egyptians: they had pyramids, they had temples, they had tombs, they also had a good sense of humour! Like people the world over, the ancient Egyptians delighted in a good laugh. In surveying the subject of wit and humour, this work examines what was considered funny in ancient Egypt.
