Abstract

The paper is devoted to the issue of creation of man and its nature in the “Instructions for Merikare”, the most important monument of ancient Egyptian didactic literature of the First Intermediate period (22-21 centuries BC). Using the example of the so-called “Hymn to the Creator” from the epilogue of “Instructions”, the status of the theme of man in the cosmocentric picture of the world, characteristic of the traditional Egyptian myth, is considered.
