The 30 papyri reveal information about workers who built the pyramids.
Egyptian authorities have unveiled the country’s oldest papyri, which date date back 4,500 years.
The 30 papyri — six of which are now on display at the Egyptian museum in Cairo — were found in 2013 inside caves in the ancient Red Sea port of Wadi al-Jarf by a mission led by French Egyptologist Pierre Tallet and Egyptian Egyptologist Sayed Mahfouz.
