The instructions of Ptah-Hotep and Ke'Gemni count among the most ancient texts in existence, originating between 2600 and 2400 B.C.; this edition comprises translations in modern English. Ptah-Hotep was a vizier, which was a highly ranking official or governor in ancient Egypt. He was apparently a man of great wisdom and renown: the text consists of a series of aphorisms and advices, in the form of a wise father giving advice to his young son on how to live an orderly, virtuous life. Ke'Gemni was also a vizier, and his writing is similarly one of teaching and wisdom. His counsel revolves more around avoiding the excesses available to those of a wealthy caste; moderation in food, drink and habits is advised. Such careful behavior will lead to one attaining the traits of the vaunted 'silent man' of Egyptian culture; a fellow moderate in speech and behavior, whose judgments and leadership are careful, measured and wise. The translator, Battiscombe George Dunn, was a famous Egyptologist
