| what is maat in ancient egypt: El Misterio de Maat, Diosa de la Justicia en el Antiguo Egipto Anna MANCINI, 2004-03 Desde los comienzos de la egiptología, los especialistas no pararon de acumular textos que hablan de Maat, diosa egipcia de la justicia. A pesar de toda esta documentación, Maat sigue siendo un misterio para ellos. Hasta la fecha dicen no saber lo que es exactamente la Maat. Un trabajo notable de desciframiento de los textos fue realizado por la ciencia egiptológica, pero en este campo, nadie ha sacado partido de los conocimientos de la historia de los derechos antiguos. Del mismo modo, nadie ha aprendido a observar las imágenes y aún menos a entender los símbolos. La imagen de la cubierta de este libro contiene, por sí sola ,uno de los más antiguos secretos de la civilización egipcia que nos ha llegado intacto. Verdadera investigación, este libro saca partido de todos los indicios acumulados por los egiptólogos en relación con Maat. Gracias a sus competencias jurídicas y a su familiaridad con los símbolos -formada a través de un largo trabajo sobre el lenguaje onírico-, la autora reúne las piezas del rompecabezas que faltaban para poder formar la imagen de Maat. Una vez entendido el significado de la misma, se comprende de forma inmediata e inesperada, toda la civilización egipcia. |

| what is maat in ancient egypt: The Search for God in Ancient Egypt Jan Assmann, 2001 What, for the ancient Egyptians, was the nature of the world's governing spirits'... With the evidence of ancient texts, Assmann considers Egyptian theology,... and cults and rites.... This deep, analytic book is of the greatest interest not only for specialists in matters Egyptian but also for comparative studies.?Antiquity First English-language edition, with revisions and additions by the author. This classic work by one of the world's most distinguished Egyptologists was first published in German in 1984. The Search for God in Ancient Egypt offers a distillation of Jan Assmann's views on ancient Egyptian religion, with special emphasis on theology and piety. Deeply rooted in the texts of ancient Egypt and thoroughly informed by comparative religion, theology, anthropology, and semiotic analysis, Assmann's interpretations reveal the complexity of Egyptian thought in a new way. Assmann takes special care to distinguish between the implicit theology of Egyptian polytheism and the explicit theology that is concerned with exploring the problem of the divine. His discussion of polytheism and mythology addresses aspects of ritual, the universe, and myth; his consideration of explicit theology deals with theodicy and the specifics of Amarna religion. |
| what is maat in ancient egypt: Law in Ancient Egypt Russ VerSteeg, 2002 Law in Ancient Egypt examines the legal philosophy, legal institutions, and laws of the ancient Egyptians. Ancient documents, accounts, and literature provide the basis for a wide perspective of law and the Egyptian legal system. VerSteeg delineates and analyzes the elements of Egyptian law, explaining how social, religious, cultural, and political forces shaped both the procedural and substantive aspects of law. Part I considers the theory of justice in ancient Egypt, exploring the role of law in society. Part I also traces the development of the judicial system distinguishing the various types of judges, courts, and procedures that were employed to make justice available to all. Part II reconstructs the substantive laws of the ancient Egyptians, including chapters detailing property, family law, inheritance and succession, tort and criminal law, contracts, and status. Land records, wills, sales documents, court chronicles, works of ancient fiction, and accounts of ancient trials illustrate the sophisticated, often subtle, and complex nature of law in ancient Egypt. This study provides an introduction to law in ancient Egypt. It is the first comprehensive overview of the subject written from the perspective of someone trained as an American lawyer who is also sufficiently familiar with the discipline of Egyptology. The book will be of interest to Egyptologists, legal historians, law students, and educated non-specialists who are interested in the interaction of law, history, and ancient culture. |

| what is maat in ancient egypt: Gods and Men in Egypt Françoise Dunand, Christiane Zivie-Coche, 2004 In their wide-ranging interpretation of the religion of ancient Egypt, Françoise Dunand and Christiane Zivie-Coche explore how, over a period of roughly 3500 years, the Egyptians conceptualized their relations with the gods. Drawing on the insights of anthropology, the authors discuss such topics as the identities, images, and functions of the gods; rituals and liturgies; personal forms of piety expressing humanity's need to establish a direct relation with the divine; and the afterlife, a central feature of Egyptian religion. That religion, the authors assert, was characterized by the remarkable continuity of its ritual practices and the ideas of which they were an expression. Throughout, Dunand and Zivie-Coche take advantage of the most recent archaeological discoveries and scholarship. Gods and Men in Egypt is unique in its coverage of Egyptian religious expression in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Written with nonspecialist readers in mind, it is largely concerned with the continuation of Egypt's traditional religion in these periods, but it also includes fascinating accounts of Judaism in Egypt and the appearance and spread of Christianity there. |

| what is maat in ancient egypt: Moses the Egyptian Jan Assmann, 2009-06-30 Standing at the very foundation of monotheism, and so of Western culture, Moses is a figure not of history, but of memory. As such, he is the quintessential subject for the innovative historiography Jan Assmann both defines and practices in this work, the study of historical memory--a study, in this case, of the ways in which factual and fictional events and characters are stored in religious beliefs and transformed in their philosophical justification, literary reinterpretation, philological restitution (or falsification), and psychoanalytic demystification. To account for the complexities of the foundational event through which monotheism was established, Moses the Egyptian goes back to the short-lived monotheistic revolution of the Egyptian king Akhenaten (1360-1340 B.C.E.). Assmann traces the monotheism of Moses to this source, then shows how his followers denied the Egyptians any part in the origin of their beliefs and condemned them as polytheistic idolaters. Thus began the cycle in which every counter-religion, by establishing itself as truth, denounced all others as false. Assmann reconstructs this cycle as a pattern of historical abuse, and tracks its permutations from ancient sources, including the Bible, through Renaissance debates over the basis of religion to Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism. One of the great Egyptologists of our time, and an exceptional scholar of history and literature, Assmann is uniquely equipped for this undertaking--an exemplary case study of the vicissitudes of historical memory that is also a compelling lesson in the fluidity of cultural identity and beliefs. |

In Red Land, Black Land, she transports us back thousands of years and immerses us in the sights, aromas, and sounds of day-to-day living in the legendary desert realm that was ancient Egypt. Who were these people whose civilization has inspired myriad films, books, artwork, myths, and dreams, and who built astonishing monuments that still stagger the imagination five thousand years later? What did average Egyptians eat, drink, wear, gossip about, and aspire to? What were their amusements, their beliefs, their attitudes concerning religion, childrearing, nudity, premarital sex? Mertz ushers us into their homes, workplaces, temples, and palaces to give us an intimate view of the everyday worlds of the royal and commoner alike. We observe priests and painters, scribes and pyramid builders, slaves, housewives, and queens—and receive fascinating tips on how to perform tasks essential to ancient Egyptian living, from mummification to making papyrus. An eye-opening and endlessly entertaining companion volume to Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs, Mertz's extraordinary history of ancient Egypt, Red Land, Black Land offers readers a brilliant display of rich description and fascinating edification. It brings us closer than ever before to the people of a great lost culture that was so different from—yet so surprisingly similar to—our own. |
| what is maat in ancient egypt: The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife Erik Hornung, 1999 This volume offers a survey about what is known about the Ancient Egyptians' vision of the afterlife and an examination of these beliefs that were written down in books that were later discovered in royal tombs. The contents of the texts range from the collection of spells in the Book of the Dead, which was intended to offer practical assistance on the journey to the afterlife, to the detailed accounts of the hereafter provided in the Books of the Netherworld. The author looks closely at these latter works, while summarizing the contents of the Book of the Dead and other widely studied examples of the genre. For each composition, he discusses the history of its ancient transmission and its decipherment in modern times, supplying bibliographic information for any text editions. He also seeks to determine whether this literature as a whole presents a monolithic conception of the afterlife. The volume features many drawings from the books themselves. |
| what is maat in ancient egypt: Maat Sebastian Berg, Do you want to learn more about the Egyptian goddess Maat and her enduring legacy? Have you ever wondered what principles she stood for and how her impact can still be felt today? An ancient Egyptian deity, Maat was the symbol of order and cosmic harmony that kept the universe running smoothly. In the culture of Ancient Egypt, she was viewed as a significant part of the world-making creation process and lauded for her strength in upholding social balance and justice. Her legacy lives on to this day, setting an example of fairness and righteousness that all civilizations should strive towards. Maat is an incredible female figure whose wisdom continues to teach us crucial values even thousands of years after her existence in Ancient Egypt. Maat held an impressive role in ancient Egypt, as evidenced by her presence in artwork from tombs to temples. She was considered so imperative for keeping the country at peace that even her image would bring a sense of harmony. People viewed balance and justice as essential values, prerequisites to living in a safe and tranquil nation, and looked to Maat to make sure they were upheld. Even when the lands were filled with evidence of unrest, the importance of Maat was never forgotten. |
