If we're to go by certain sources, the ethic codes on temple walls, would make just about every priest and follower a philosopher; examples of certain teachings simplified into single phrase proverbs have been laid out here: Kemetian Philosophy
But I take it that you are talking about 'the authors' of certain ideas, when you refer to "great philosophers". Some of these may be so far back into antiquity that it would be fairly difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint them to specific individual authors of the ideas.
