I ran across this while writing this paper on ancient Kemetian philosophy, and how it was stolen by the Greeks and claimed as their own.

This passage is from one of the Antef kings during the 11th dynasty defining the sage and/or philosopher:

“He is one whose heart is informed about these things which would otherwise be ignored, the one who is clear sighted when he is deep into a problem, the one who is moderate in his actions, who penetrates ancient writings, who is sensible enough to unravel complications, who is really wise, who instructed his own heart, who stays awake at night as he looks for the right paths, who surpasses what he accomplised yesterday, who is wiser than a sage, who brought himself to wisdom, who asks for advice and sees to it that he is asked for advice.”
