Instructions of Amenemhat
Instructions of Amenemhat (aka "Teaching of King Ammenemes I to His Son Sesostris") is a short ancient Egyptian poem of the ''sebayt'' genre written during the early Middle Kingdom. The poem takes the form of an intensely dramatic monologue delivered by the ghost of the murdered 12th Dynasty pharaoh Amenemhat I to his son Senusret I. It describes the conspiracy that killed Amenemhat,〔J. P. Allen thinks the outcome of the conspiracy is inconclusive (Allen, ''op.cit.'', p.259)〕 and enjoins his son to trust no-one. The poem forms a kind of apologia of the deeds of the old king's reign.〔Lichtheim, ''op.cit.'', p.137〕 It ends with an exhortation to Senusret to ascend the throne and rule wisely in Amenemhat's stead.
==Authorship==
The ''Instructions'' may have been authored at Senusret's command〔Lichtheim, ''op.cit.'', p.135〕 to eulogize his father and legitimize his claim to the throne. Several centuries later, in the New Kingdom Papyrus Chester Beatty IV, the authorship of the poem was attributed to "the foremost of scribes" Khety.〔Ermann, ''op.cit.'', p.xxvii〕〔H. Lesko thinks it might be possible that this is the same Kheti who wrote ''The Satire of the Trades.'' Hans Goedicke adds to his list of works the ''Instruction of Merikare,'' a suggestion which did not find favour with everybody. (Lesko, ''op.cit'', p.141)〕
The principal source of this document comes from the Papyrus Millingen which was copied by A. Peyron in 1843. The original is now lost. Wooden tablets with parts of the ''Instructions'' dating to the 18th dynasty and New Kingdom papyrus fragments and ostraca survive.〔Lichtheim, ''op.cit.'', p.136〕
