Elizabeth Barrette shares a link to a reprint of an Ancient Egyptian collection, including a history or boast about the Pharaoh Rameses, religious teachings of Ptah-hotep, a guide to etiquette by someone called Ani, love poems, and more. If you read far enough you'll find the proverb of Ani that EB thought worth calling attention to: If a deaf person is present, keep silent.
