Egyptian Wisdom Literature refers to a collection of ancient texts from Egypt that offer insights into morality, ethics, and practical advice for daily life. These writings often take the form of proverbs, maxims, and instructional poems, emphasizing virtues such as justice, truth, and self-control. They were typically composed by scribes and aimed at guiding individuals in their personal and social conduct. Key works in this genre include the Instruction of Ptahhotep and the Maxims of Ani, which reflect the values and beliefs of ancient Egyptian society. These texts were not only educational but also served to reinforce the cultural identity and wisdom of the Egyptian people throughout history.
