Ancient Egypt & disability / Disability Action Research Kollective ; featuring work by Alexandra Morris, Richard Amm, and Kyle Lewis Jordan.

"Ancient Egyptian society was more accepting and inclusive of disability than many contemporary societies. Disabled people were integrated into the community, working alongside non-disabled people as scribes, musicians, craftsmen, or labourers. They sometimes held titles as high as pharaoh (king) and were well represented in high positions within royal courts. Disabled people were also featured in art and texts and even within the pantheon of the gods. Including the god Ptah, who Egypt is named after, and Horus who represents the power of the pharaoh."--From page 3.
