Amenemhat I
The Middle Kingdom was the golden age of Egyptian literature. Some notable texts include the Tale of Neferty, the Instructions of Amenemhat I, the Tale of Sinuhe, the Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor and the Story of the Eloquent Peasant. "Instructions" became a popular literary genre of the New Kingdom, taking the form of advice on proper behavior. The Story of Wenamun and the "Instruction of Any" are well-known examples from this period.
