The Instructions of Ptahhotep, written in Egypt c. 4,200 years ago, was perhaps the earliest fully developed Western didactic text about talk: performing talk, listening to talk, and utilising talk events in social interactions. Egyptologists and others see it as a "wisdom" text, teaching etiquette and manners; however, for students of talk The Maxims of Ptahhotep or Instruction of Ptahhotep is an ancient Egyptian literary composition by the Vizier Ptahhotep around 2375-2350 BC, during the rule of King Djedkare Isesi of the Fifth Dynasty. The text was discovered in Thebes in 1847 by Egyptologist M. Prisse d'Avennes. The Instructions of Ptahhotep are considered didactic wisdom literature belonging to the genre of sebayt.
