Anotace
Because this theme is a vast one that can be dependent upon too many literature pieces, a good approach is to tackle the various genres, or subgenres that the ancient Egyptian employed. Moreover, such an approach can allow us to avoid reading a sizeable number of compositions but, at the same time, open analysis with methodical principles.
