Although it is often believed that the ancient Greeks invented the first form of theatre and public theatrics a lesser known type of theatre had evolved before them. In ancient Egypt there were displays of theatre and storytelling, however, these displays were not as theatrical. They portrayed information to the people along busy streets about their pharao and important things they needed to know involving him. The ancient Egyptians are known not to have built structures to perform these events like the Greeks but rather used the performances in local areas where people would gather. ‘The Dramatic Ramesseum Papyrus’ is one of the only remaining plays from ancient Egypt. This writing documents the change of throne from Amenemhat I to Senusret I around 1980 BCE. The text also includes what can be referred to as a religious drama and is often believed to have been put on display during the Horus festival. The way it has been proven that these were in fact plays and not simply lines to be recited is by how the scrolls included a primitive set of stage instructions for the actors to follow. From this, it is known that while the ancient Greeks can still hold their title as creating plays other earlier civilizations were following similar avenues to give information to their citizens.
