About this listen

The Teachings of Ptahhotep: The Oldest Book in the World is a profound piece of wisdom literature attributed to Ptahhotep, an ancient Egyptian vizier of the Fifth Dynasty. This timeless text provides ethical guidance and practical advice on living a virtuous and harmonious life. Addressing themes such as humility, justice, leadership, and respect for others, the teachings reflect a deep understanding of human nature and societal values. Believed to be one of the earliest written records of moral philosophy, this book not only offers a glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual foundations of ancient Egypt but also provides insights that remain relevant to modern readers seeking wisdom and balance in their lives.
