Westcar papyrus contains three different stories . It narrates that one night ,
Cheops
was bored , then asked his advisors what to do . They advised him to call his sons and to allow each of them to narrate a story full of magic . The story reached its peak by its end . Cheops asked his magicians chief to do something widely magical . "Sorry lord , I can not" , the chief magician replied . "Then , who can?" Cheops returned . "The only one who can is your eldest son . These children were born by a lady who became pregnant by Re . The eldest son will become a king of Egypt , " the magician chief continued .
At hearing such words , Cheops appeared worried but the magician chief assured that this would happen neither in your time , nor in your sons' time , nor in your grandsons' time . Thus , it will be Userkaf . Then , the story goes on relating the pregnancy of the lady , who was a priest wife , then the goddesses' help to that pregnancy . This text was preserved in the
Middle Kingdom
, but the occurrence of its events was during King Cheops period .
So , probably the version in the Middle Kingdom was a copy of an earlier text written during the
Fifth Dynasty
as a sort of political propaganda for the Fifth Dynasty .
