The book "The Instruction of Ptah-Hotep and the Instruction of Kegemni: The Oldest Books in the World" is one of the oldest legacies of world literature. These texts, dating from around 2500 BC, provide a unique insight into the social and moral values of Ancient Egypt.
In the "Instructions of Ptah-Hotep" we find the wise advice of the pharaohs and high officials regarding morality, leadership and justice. This book is aimed at the development of wisdom and justice in society.
On the other hand, the Kegemni Instruction offers life plan advice for young people and emphasizes moral values, education, work discipline, and household issues.
These ancient texts not only impress with their wisdom and relevance to this day, but also constitute a cultural treasure that helps us better understand the life and values of ancient Egyptian society.
