These English translations were created by the Scriptural Research Institute in 2020, primarily from the Hieratic and Hieroglyphic copies of the texts published in the past century, or when possible, high resolution photographs of the steles. Additionally, the following translations and commentaries were consulted for comparison: K. Sethe’s Urkunden der 18. Dynastie (1914), E. A. Wallis Budge’s The Literature of the Ancient Egyptians (1914), and James Henry Breasted, Ancient Records of Egypt (1906).

The image used for the cover is an artistic reinterpretation of ‘Temple of Horus at Edfu’ by Ernst Karl Eugen Koerner, painted in 1888.
