Abstract

The way the Ramesseum papyrus was produced suggests something about the concept of performance and the importance of role playing, where there is a comment for each theatrical act that explains what the actors should do as it is considered as director note because of :
1 - Description of events: infinitive sentence starting with ḫpr.n ”It happens”.
2- Explanatory sentence with the tool pw “it means.” It is”.
3- - Instructions for speaking. (Who is talking to whom).
4 – The speech
5- Notes on roles, requisites of worship and their places.
6- Representation explaining the events of the ritual in very brief writing, often with an appendix to the title explaining that devotional events take place and not events of myths (the earthly divine).
The way of the writing of the text which describe the action prefixed with a sentence. hpr.n “It happened that” can be considered as a dramatic text.
The vignette at the bottom of the papyrus show notes for the scene and comments to the performance of the actors, which shows that it was prepared for the person who supervises this activity, the researcher suggests that it is considered a draft of the director of the work and it mean that the Ramesseum dramatic papyrus considered as the first direction draft in the history.
The Ancient Egyptian dramatic tradition was inherently religious – even ritualistic – in content, form, and expression. This should be normal for an ancient society that was religious by nature.
Compared with the Greeks; the Osiris festival of Khoiak is a complete theatrical drama earlier than that of the great Dionysos. Moreover; it may be built on the Egyptian version.
To what extent this myth of Dionysos and the beliefs in blessedness and punishments in the nether world are dependent on the Egyptian Osirian cult from the start remains a gap of knowledge must be investigated but at least this paper proved the pioneering of the Ancient Egyptians in the art of theatrical drama.
The Triumph of Horus demonstrating the full dramatic potential of the text, not just as an Ancient Egyptian play, but as one that could still be performed and appreciated in modern times.
The Demotic Drama of Horus and Sethe is not only a dramatic text, but a full drama – an Ancient Egyptian play – and it does not attribute this form in any way to the Greeks. It would even be erroneous to attribute the presence of choruses to a Greek influence. There is, indeed, clear evidence of their existence already in earlier Egyptian drama.
What is becoming increasingly clear is a view of the fundamental ritual origins of theatre as we know it today, and Ancient Egypt and the cult of Osirian are moving ever closer to the front of that movement.
Shabaka Stone consider as the first theatre director’s note since old kingdom. It explains in detail the main lines of the drama “Telling the Events” with notes for the actors
British Museum Papyrus: “PBremner-Rhin ““no 10188 considered as the first the first Actor preparation papyrus because of its description of the movement and shape of the actors.
Imhoteb stela which related to roving actor is a great witness for the existence of Ancient Egyptian Theater not only inside the temple but also outside it in normal social live.
Finally it can be said that the theatrical dramatic roots tock place in ancient Egypt under with a religious way and growth up at the Greeks.
