Clothing was hardly a practical necessity in North Africa and what is today the Middle East.

Contrairement à de nombreuses cultures voisines, les Égyptiens n'écrivaient généralement pas de récits historiques, et le texte a donc dû commencer comme une autobiographie d'Ounamon vers 1065 av. JC. L'unique copie partiellement conservée semble avoir...
