Yeah, that papyrus is bonkers. Imagine what still exists out there in the desert!


We can only hope there's one that details the process of the laying of the stones.


Or the landing of the spacecraft :)

Papyrus describing laying is unlikely unless it somehow related to accounting.

But, do you know the Shabakti stone? That is supposedly a copy of a first dynasty papyrus by the Nubian pharaohs. While likely to be embellished, no reason not to believe. Helps describe the role of Ptah, the god of design.
