The relevance of royal inscriptions, Herodotus and Manetho in order to reconstruct the chronology and history of ancient Egypt has been fundamental in scholarly research since Champollion's times. Those sources, however, together with other historical and pseudo-historical material such as the Bentresh and Famine stelae are here analysed as historical documents per se, completely disregarding their value for the histoire evenementielle. Genre and format of royal inscriptions become important in order to establish the power of the tradition, while all the historical sources mentioned above embody hopes, fears, as well as social and cultural conflicts existing in Egyptian society at the times they were written.

The Writing of History in Ancient Egypt During the First Millennium BC (Ca.1070-180 BC): Trends and Perspectives
ESPAÑOL: Excelente diálogo de Cicerón, que habla por boca de Catón el viejo. Veamos algunas de las citas más señeras para mÃ:
[La vejez.] Hasta que es alcanzada, todos la desean; y en llegando a ella, le echan la culpa de muchos achaques. ¡Tanta es la inconstancia y el desconcierto de la necedad humana! Dicen que se les entró en casa más pronto de lo que pensaban.
[El viejo] es de mejor condición que el mozo, porque lo que el mozo espera, ya el viejo lo consiguió. El joven anhela una larga vida, que el anciano ha vivido ya.
Porque cuando [el fin] llega, lo que ha pasado se fue como el humo; y sólo nos queda lo que hayamos logrado con la virtud y la práctica del bien.
Ennio [escribió]: "nadie me honre con llanto cuando yo muera..." Que no se debe llorar una muerte a la que sigue la inmortalidad.
Y si algún dios me ofreciese volver a la niñez... rehusarÃa decididamente: anduve ya casi mi camino y no quisiera volver al punto de donde partÃ.
Y si después de la muerte - como han sostenido filósofos insignificantes - nada sintiere, no temo que los filósofos que murieron se rÃan de mÃ.
ENGLISH: Excellent dialogue by Cicero, who speaks through the voice of Cato the Elder. Let us see a few of the best quotes (for me):
[Old age.] Until it is reached, everyone wants it; and in arriving at it, they blame it for many ailments. Such is the inconstancy and bewilderment of human folly! They say it came to them sooner than they thought.
[The old man] is in a better condition than the youth, because what the youth expects, the old man already has. The youth longs for a long life, which the old man has already lived.
When [the end] arrives, what has happened goes like smoke; and we only have left what we achieved with virtue and the practice of goodness.
Ennius [wrote]: "Let no one honor me with tears when I die..." One should not mourn a death followed by immortality.
And if some god offered me to return to childhood... I would resolutely refuse: I have almost finished my way and do not want to return to the starting point.
And if after death - as insignificant philosophers have argued - there is nothing, I have not fear that those dead philosophers will laugh at me.
