A great variety of types of literature has survived from ancient Egypt from all periods. These include the didactic wisdom literature; poetry, including love poems from the New Kingdom; hymns; and a large number of stories and folktales, some purely entertaining but with a moral point and others mythological in content. Royal inscriptions and religious texts could be written in a poetical vein.
