Speaking of language.

For instance did you know the Maxim of Ptahhotep represent an early form literature; wisdom literature.

Wisdom literature has a collection of proverbs and pieces of advice.

Written during the second half of the reign of the Middle Egyptian Kingdom, there exists scripture from an aging pharaoh given to his successor.

A certain Maxim reads

The Egyptians warned Too many of their kind were doing what was barred.

And yet today in this modern day we are still struggling to recognize this group fairly.
