Maat, The Godess Of The Universe

Louvre Museum, Paris, France view map

An Amazing bas-relief, makes you wonder how it could have been done so many thousands years ago!

Maat: More the a God, a PRINCIPLE, a Moral! The base of all the Egyptien Society:
"Ma'at is good and its worth is lasting.
It has not been disturbed since the day of its creator,
whereas he who transgresses its ordinances is punished.
It lies as a path in front even of him who knows nothing.
Wrongdoing has never yet brought its venture to port.
It is true that evil may gain wealth but the strength of truth is that it lasts;
a man can say: "It was the property of my father""

If only my dastardly sister and younger brother would understand...
