Egyptian Literature refers to the body of written works produced in ancient Egypt, primarily in the form of hieroglyphs. This literature includes religious texts, poetry, wisdom literature, and historical records. Notable works include the Book of the Dead, which contains spells for the afterlife, and the Instructions of Ptahhotep, a collection of maxims on moral conduct. The themes in Egyptian literature often revolve around life, death, and the afterlife, reflecting the culture's beliefs and values. Many texts were inscribed on tomb walls, papyrus scrolls, and monuments, serving both practical and ceremonial purposes in ancient Egyptian society.
