The Late Ramesside Letters, a corpus of over 70 personal communications written in Late Egyptian, form one of the most complete letter collections from  ancient Egypt (c. 1099–1069 BCE). A key feature of ancient Egyptian letter writing is the adherence to the social positions of, and relationships between, the  interlocutors, allowing scholars to reconstruct the hierarchical network of individuals directly and indirectly included in the corpus. From this understanding, how can  modern scholars discern what was considered to be ‘polite’ communicative behaviour within these relationships and how can developments in historical politeness  help us do this? This article will explore three case studies surrounding different aspects of politeness research: first-order politeness, facework, and discernment  politeness in order to explore the phenomenon of ‘politeness’ in Late Egyptian and reflect on the suitability of current politeness frameworks for the analysis of the  Late Ramesside Letters.
