Let's go to Egypt!
Egypt, one of the cradles of ancient civilization brought us the world's most powerful culture, characters and tales. The early egyptians used
hieroglyphs (pictures) to represent their idea and communicate.They carved it on the tombs, walls, vases, stones or in tablets. Eventually, they wrote their composition in a
papyrus (now we call it paper) where they preserved their literary works such as poems, tales, songs, and other religious matters.
Egyptians introduced stories that left important marks in the history. We have familiar tales but we know not much of its origin. The
Cinderella story of Egypt tells about the fate of the princess Rhodopis, and her "lost slipper". This is probably the oldest known version of Greek origin. This tale inspired not only the writers of the succeeding generations but also gave birth to the creation of new versions in every corner of the world. The theme of the story tells us significantly about triumph over oppression.
