Why did the Egyptians not produce an epic poems, plays, and philosophical texts like the Greeks, Sumerians, Indians, and Chinese did?
Parker Diaz
They did but we can't read their language.
Most egyptians were illiterate so I doubt much of their literary work got around outside of with the nobility who could read.

But unironically what's up with Ancient Egypt? They seemed to be so rich with Civilization and advanced political structure, but it seems to be an intellectual desert?

Philosophy and art is not a feature of the Semites. It is abundant among the Indo-Europeans of Europe, Persia, and India. The Chinese are an exception, of course.
The Semites are much more concerned with practical matters, they are not lofty people. The Egyptians were obsessed with Medicine, the Jews with wealth, and the Arabs with cleanliness.

You mean indo europeans all have the same philosophical problems because theyre just working out kinks in the structure of PIE, the chinese just have an elaborate morality they call philosophy, and mystical semites commune directy with god?
