The Reisner Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian document dating to the 16th century BCE, during the Second Intermediate Period. It is named after the German Egyptologist George Reisner, who discovered it in the early 20th century. The papyrus is significant because it records a series of administrative and financial transactions, including details about the taxation of workers, and it provides insight into the economy and social structure of ancient Egypt at that time.
