The 42 Laws of Maat in Kemet’ (The Original 10 Commandments of the Bible)

Kemet is the name given to the country currently known as Egypt today. The surviving artifacts of the Kemet kings and copyists prove that Kemet law and order was “Maat” also known as the 42 Laws of Maat.

The Goddess Maat as the Cosmological Origin of Kemet Rule of Law

Maat or Maʽat refers to the antiquated Egyptian ideas of truth, balance, order, harmony, regulation, ethical quality/morality, and justice.

The basic law of the universe. The Egyptians accepted strongly that each individual was answerable for their own life and that life ought to be lived in light of others and the earth in mind.

Similarly as the divine beings cared on mankind, so should people care for one another and the earth which they had been given.

This way of thinking is apparent in each part of Egyptian culture from the manner in which they built their urban areas to the balance including their temples and monuments.

If one lived agreeably in the desire of the divine beings, one was living as one with the idea of ma’at and the goddess who typified that idea.

One was allowed and free to live however one wanted and completely ignore the principle of ma’at, but eventually one would face the trial which awaited everyone: judgment in the Hall of Truth (also known as The Hall of Two Truths) in the afterlife.
