Time and time again, and in response to a variety of challenges and problems, Egyptians of the dynastic period made use of the past to confirm – and to explore – their own identity. Therefore these ideas of identity need to be understood before the kind of past the Egyptians had in mind can be seriously investigated. Dynastic Egypt has usually been seen by scholarship since the early 19th century as a very self-confident culture: the Egyptians were sure that Egypt was where the cosmos c ame into b eing, and that f oreig n lands were merely useful appendag es provided and overseen by the gods for the purpose of helping to maintain the worldorder within the only part of the world of any significance – Egypt. This attitude may be perceived in the whole range of ‘official’ religious and royal texts that survive, although these texts do not often state the totality of this view in any explicit way, as it was not open to question. The Egyptians had no idea of any need for ‘faith’, or expressions of faith.
