Sometime between 1850 B.C. and 1550 B.C. an Egyptian scribe named Ahmes (or Ahmose) obtained fresh papyrus for a roll about eighteen feet long and one foot high. On this papyrus he wrote, copied, or, more likely, edited his mathematical text “in likeness to writings of old.” The work consists mostly of annotated lists of fractions and about a hundred solved “word” problems.
