	Egyptian mastaba of Akhethotep and Ptahhotep
		Ptahhotep was notably "inspector of the priests of the pyramid of Isesi, of the wab-priests of the pyramid of Niuserre (and) of the priests of the pyramid of Menkauhor".
		Enthroned on his splendid seat, Ptahhotep receives official reports from an official at the front of the third register, while around him servants fuss with his outward appearance: one adjusts his wig and beard, another brings linen and a third, a pedicure expert, smears his feet with a fragrant ointment (view 16).
		Ptahhotep attends the presentation of the animals captured in the desert - mainly of herbivores, one of which he is going to attempt to domesticate - or raise in the funerary domains, primarily those for cattle.

	Fox, Ancient Egyptian Rhetoric
		Ptahhotep sees himself as presenting not just a variety of counsels about good speech, but as offering instructions that together for “the principle of fine speech.” Eloquence is a unity.
		Eloquence, Ptahhotep says, is rarer than emeralds, yet it is to be found among maids at the mill stones.
		Ptahhotep repeatedly emphasizes the efficacy of silence in eristic.

	Egyptian burial rituals and protocol Summary
		Ptahhotep's brain was pulled out through the nose and discarded; we believe that the brain is useless and that all thinking is done by the heart.
		Ptahhotep was then placed inside the coffins and he was put in a large outer coffin.
		I have just returned from the ceremony and feast for Ptahhotep, The funeral procession consisted of the priest who walked in front, waving a censer and sprinkling milk; followed by the bier, this kinda boat-shaped frame that held the Ptahhotep (who was now a mummy), drawn by oxen and decked with flowers.

		Said to be the grand uncle and known to be the tutor of Pharaoh Assa Djed-Ka-Ra (2388-2356 BCE), Ptahhotep was thought to be of noble birth, in fact, the eldest son of a pharaoh.
		Ptahhotep was reputed to have been 110-years-old when he wrote his book, which was published under the imposing title Teachings of the Prefect of the City, Dja Ptahhotep under the Majesty of the King of the South and the North, Assa Djed-Ka-Ra.
		A final strength of Ptahhotep’s work is his succinct, eloquently-stated views on a number of topics central to African leadership success like marriage, friendship, child-rearing, conflict resolution and the perils of greed and lust.

	The Mastaba of Ptahhotep
		He is credited with authoring The Instruction of Ptahhotep, an early piece of Egyptian "wisdom literature" meant to instruct young men in appropriate behavior.
		Ptahhotep lived in what modern-day scholars term "the Old Kingdom," a period lasting approximately from 2686 to 2181 BCE.
		Hunting scenes like the ones in Ptahhotep's mastaba were standard decoration in both royal and private tombs.

	ANCIENT EGYPT : The Wisdom of Ptahhotep
		Ptahhotep's work, adhering to the Memphite accent on discourse, aims to propose a "way of life" valid for everybody.
		My translation was inspired by the work of Dévaud (1916), Zába (1956), Lichtheim (1975), Lalouette (1984), Brunner (1991) and Jacq (1993) and distances itself from an approach which deviates too much from the original text, such as the questionable translation of Laffont (1979), or which limits itself to the translation of only a few maxims.
		In the case of Ptahhotep, this would be suggestive of a "Memphite school" or a community of scribes working in the House of Life of the temple of Ptah at Memphis.

		Quasi a metà strada tra il complesso di Djoser e il Serapeo si trova la duplice mastaba di Akhet-hotep e Ptahhotep, ispettori dei sacerdoti delle piramidi di Abusir durante tre regni della V dinastia.
		La parte riservata a Ptahhotep è più modesta di quella del padre, ma rivaleggia con questa per le decorazioni dei vani a lui riservati dove si trovano scene di portatori d'offerta, di presentazioni di animali, di mietitura, di caccia con la rete, di costruzione di barche di papiro e scene di vita del defunto.
		Ptahhotep seduto alla tavola delle offerte che, con indosso la pelle di pantera sacerdotale, tende la mano destra verso la mensa per prendere possesso dell'offerta.

		The third official was Ptahhotep, a vizier of King Izezi in Dynasty 6.
		After he describes to his son the negatives of some other occupations such as fisherman, bricklayer, and sandalmaker (these are occupations, not careers, not professions, and they involve physical labor and working under some overseer), the father repeats advice given by Ptahhotep and Kagemni in their earlier works.

	Mastaba of Ptahhotep Mural Reliefs, Saqqara
		The entrance to the Mastaba of Ptahhotep, on the north side, leads into a corridor, the walls of which are covered with interesting sketches for reliefs and unfinished reliefs (right) and empty royal cartouches (left).
		To the right is a large square hall with four pillars, from which a door at the southeast corner leads through a vestibule into the offering room, with mural reliefs which are among the highest achievements of Egyptian art at its zenith, some of them surpassing even the reliefs in the Mastaba of Ti.
		West wall: at each end a false door; the right hand one is highly elaborate, perhaps representing a palace facade; on the left hand one the dead man is depicted sitting in a chapel (below, right) and in a litter carried by servants (left); in front is the offering table.

		In the translation of Maxim 21 in the Instructions of Ptahhotep, all Egyptologists have used the most comprehensive presentation of this wisdom text which dates from the Middle Kingdom (ca.2040-1650 B.C.E.) written in the hieratic script on a papyrus roll now commonly referred to as Papyrus Prisse housed in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
		The translation and interpretation of Maxim 21 in the Instructions of Ptahhotep has historically been a very difficult passage for Egyptologists.
		The article concludes by suggesting that Ancient Egyptian women should be analyzed inside their own cultural paradigm of Maat which is fundamentally and deeply African in both essence and scope.

		The master teacher Ptahhotep laid out the framework for the Sebayet (the Kemetic systems of education), which was actually preparation for leading the Good Life.
		What the student needs is not just rekh (knowledge) which comes through the seeing of the eyes, the hearing of the ears, and the sniffing of the nose carrying impressions to the mind; the particular knowledge needed to direct human action is medew nefer i.e., good speech.
		The Instruction of Ptahhotep, as sited here is a revision of an earlier text which has not yet been found.

	Introduction to the Ancient Egyptian Religion
		In the case of Ptahhotep, for instance, there was a vizier in the reign of the Dyn.
		One of the best ways of understanding the thrust of a given Wisdom Text is to look at the purported author and the purported audience given in the beginning of the text, you can get some idea of the flavor of what is to follow.
		The Vizier Ptahhotep casts himself as an instructor of the young bureaucrat, whereas the temple-administrator Amenemope emphasizes his pious activities and the general applicability of his instructions.

	Per-Ankh - Ancient Egyptian Literature: Wisdom Texts
		Most literature in ancient Egypt was anonymous, and the authors attributed to the texts were almost certainly not the composers of the texts, and their names were probably used to give it a greater credibility.
		One version can be found in Paris, the Papyri Prisse, there are two copies in the British Museum, one dating from the Middle Kingdom and one from the New Kingdom, it can also be found on a wooden tablet that can be found in the Cairo Museum.
		Ptahhotep was the vizier of a Fifth Dynasty King, Isesi, his tomb can be found at Saqarra.

		The two gods are often represented in the construct known as the sma-ta-wy - in which the sedge and papyrus, symbols of the reconciled gods, are entwined and knotted about the windpipe and lungs that symbolize the united Egypt.
		This document is composed of 37 maxims in which Ptahhotep instructs his son in the way a righteous man conducts his life.
		Reeder, Ptahhotep cautions his son regarding the dangers of having intercourse with a “woman boy” [hmt-hrd] possibly a boy prostitute, and advises him to “just say no”!

		Obwohl Ptahhotep implizit die Verfasserschaft zugeschrieben wird, wohl wegen des guten Rufes, den er in der tradition hatte, nimmt man allgemein an, daß er kaum der wirkliche Autor war.
		Dynastie war die Zeit, in der viele der eigentlichen Klassiker der ägyptischen Literatur verfaßt oder wenigstens in eine relativ endgültige literarische Form gebracht wurden, aus der mehr oder weniger feststehende Abschriften hervorgingen, in denen sie über Generationen hin weiterexistierten in einigen fällen sogar bis ins Neue Reich.

		Ptahhotep explained what instruction itself is. Instruction is an Elder's staff.
		The situation in which African peoples found themselves in 1829 and again in 1948, inevitably drove the champions into the arms of African antiquity.
		Walker was perhaps unfamiliar with the teachings of Ptahhotep and Diop in 1948 was probably unaware of both Walker's instruction and the Weheme Mesu.

		This may not, however, be as personal as might be thought; for the temptation was to use the name of some famous figure in history as a means of giving the maxims more importance.

		Some scholars have argued that Kagemni's text may have been written by one Kaires who appears in a list of literary figures in the Papyrus Chester Beatty IV, where he is shown in a drawing alongside Ptahhotep on a tomb wall at Saqqara..
		I have followed the more popular line taken by Maulana Karenga that the text of Kagemni reflects the wisdom of a man who was comprehensive in knowledge, broad in interests, and active in the pursuit of natural life.
		Thus, he was aware of Ptahhotep's ethical teachings and knew Ptahhotep's thinking on the process of aging.

		The Teaching is set at court, with the highest official ('vizier' in Egyptological translation), a man named Ptahhotep, requesting retirement from the king.
		The king consents to the request of Ptahhotep, with the observation that the young cannot be born with wisdom - by implication they need the experience given by advanced age.
		The Teaching presents then both a positive and the dramatised negative aspects of growing old in ancient Egyptian society.
