Myth
Sinuhe departs Egypt following the death of his sovereign, Pharaoh Amenemhat I. After almost passing away due to thirst in the desert, Sinuhe is rescued by Asiatics. He befriends a prince in Upper Retjenu named Amunenshi. After winning a combat duel with the Strongman of Retjenu, Sinuhe gains glory, riches, and builds a family. Following several communications with the new sovereign of Egypt, Senwosret I, Sinuhe returns home to be buried in old age.

Book · 1957
Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar, though outdated, is still relevant and useful for students of the Egyptian language. (For example, the book does not mention the second tense.). In particular, his list of signs in the appendix is still widely used as of September, 2022. The entire grammar contains thirty-three lessons, each with a different number of sections. Gardiner is considered one of the best Egyptologists of all time.
