Were there any philosophers of note in Ancient Egypt?

by [deleted]

I posted this over at /r/askphilosophy, and the folks there didn't know of any really notable philosophers in Ancient Egypt. They suggested I post here as well.

I am interested in Ancient Egyptian history in general. I think it's just fascinating. Recently I began studying the history of philosophy and, when reading about Plato I thought to myself that he might have some contemporaries in another bustling civilizations like Egypt. I didn't find much through some quick Google searches, and was wondering if anybody here might have some answers for me, or sources to suggest I read?

(Mods, sorry if I was supposed to include an X-post label on the post, I didn't see any rule about it in the sidebar or sub. rules, and I posted this almost a week later from the original.)

One of your fellow /r/askphilosophy readers alreday posed the question yesterday:
