The concept of Ma’at has been interpreted in many ways by Egyptologists: Cosmic Order, Connective Justice, Natural Order. Yet no single English term can fully convey its complexity and depth.
In this first episode of our Law, Crime and Punishment series, we therefore take an in-depth look at Ma’at, a principle that permeated every aspect of ancient Egyptian society.
Our Question: What was Ma’at, and how did it influence the Egyptian legal system?
