Maat

Maat, vel Ma'at, in Aegypto antiqua fuit sententia veritatis, aequilibrii, ordinis, iuris, morum, et iustitiae, quae personificata dea stellas, tempora anni, et acta mortalium et deitatum moderabatur, ac formam universi ex tempore creationis instituerat. Res gemella ideologica fuit Isfet.

Pharaones saepe depinguntur cum signis Maat ad partes exprimendas quas in legibus creatoris conservandis agebant.^[1]
