The Tale of Sinuhe is considered one of the finest works of Ancient Egyptian literature. It is about the death of Pharaoh Amenemhet I, founder of the 12th dynasty of Egypt (1938-1756 BC). There is an ongoing debate among Egyptologists as to whether or not the tale is based on actual events involving an individual named Sinuhe, or if it is mixed with a work of fiction. There are also multiple scenarios said to have taken place within the story, we have selected certain options of the tale to emphasize on; although there are some parts of the story told differently by different people. Another ending to the tale involves pharaoh Sesostris I ending up inviting Sinuhe to return to Egypt, forgiving him for his real or imagined crimes and welcoming him with rich gifts; thereafter Sinuhe married in his homeland while the pharaoh ordered a fine tomb build for him. Also, during the story, when Sinuhe fled to "Thebes in Greece", it was not fully proven to actually be Greece that he ran to. Although we chose to use Greece for this particular movie; some sources say that Sinuhe fled to Upper Retjenu (Canaan) opposed to Thebes.
