Egypt’s #MeToo moment documented in ancient papyrus

Ancient Egypt’s #MeToo moment: An ancient Egyptian papyrus could be one of the earliest known records of powerful men losing their jobs over gender violence and assault, Quartz Africa reports. Paneb lost his job as one of the most accomplished artisans of his time due to his corruption and treatment of women, according to the millenia-old papyrus. Dating back to around 1,200 BC, the papyrus records a complaint accusing Paneb of “stripping a woman named Yeyemwaw, throwing her against a wall and violating her.” The scrolls, which has been in the possession of the British Museum since the early 19th century, is being reassessed in light of the recent #MeToo campaign.
