The Eloquent Peasant, Episode 3, The Encounter

The peasant starts out on his journey from an oasis in the desert to the Egyptian delta and encounters a mean landowner who catches him on a narrow path between an inlet and the barley field who kicks his butt and takes his possessions.

So he's off to a bad start and so far except for a few clever puns and ironic phrasing the guy isn't all that eloquent so far.

They had a phrase, "Lord of the Silencing" meaning death. The mean guy tells the peasant he's near to meeting the Lord of the Silencing if he doesn't shut up and the peasant refers to the mean guy as Lord of the Silencing because the mean guy told him to shut up. See? Irony right there.

This is a long video so the symbol to symbol tedium is sped up ridiculously. YouTube allows it to be slowed if you care to but I doubt anyone does. It has 1,650 transparency layers displayed as piano chords are played to show the contents of thirty different papyri, that's ten pages from three different sources. The source documents are a mess. They tell the same story in sightly different ways and with varying degrees of damage. That would be sixteen and a half boxes of plastic overheard transparencies. I'm amazed my little laptop could handle them.
