Abstract
Ancient Egyptians were just ordinary human beings, able to laugh like anyone else and able to make
others laugh with them. They were quite fond of Humor. One can infer this from their statuary, reliefs,
scenes and texts. This study sheds light on such scenes to show the Egyptian humor and jocularity
when depicting their daily life. It is divided into six chapters: the first chapter deals with the definitions
of the terms Caricature, Humor and Satire and a brief introductory about Humor and Satire in the Old
and Middle Kingdoms. The Second and Third chapters are discussing the Humor and Satire among
Human beings and Animals in tomb and temple scenes, ostraca and papyri during the New Kingdom.
In the fourth chapter, the study focuses on Humor and Satire in Literature. The fifth chapter discusses
the role of the Goddess Hathor and the God Bes in Humor. Finally the study ends with suggestions
concerning the touristic development.
