Altro che Biblioteca di Alessandria! Nell’antico Egitto archivi e biblioteche erano ovunque: nei templi, nei palazzi, nelle case degli scribi… e persino nelle tombe! Ma che differenza c’è tra un archivio e una biblioteca? Come si conservavano testi e documenti? E che cosa è arrivato fino a noi?In questa puntata di Kemet – l’antico Egitto in podcast Ilaria e Martina, le “papirologhe” del team, ci guidano in un viaggio affascinante attraverso la storia della scrittura e della conservazione del sapere nell’Egitto faraonico.

Scopriremo insieme archivi templari e amministrativi, collezioni private sepolte con i defunti, e casi straordinari come le tavolette d’argilla di Amarna. Un vero tuffo nel mondo della documentazione antica, tra testi narrativi, contratti, lettere, riti magici e...geroglifici!
