For the ancient people of Kemet, The winged Egyptian goddess Ma’at symbolized truth, justice and balance. In the Egyptian mythology, the goddess Ma’at represent order on a social, personal and even cosmic level, she is the deity who regulated the relationship between the gods and the people and between opposite genders. And because of that, Maat in a way kept a mutual relationship between male and female divinities. In the Egyptian pantheon of gods is known as the beloved daughter of the sun god Ra present at the moment of creation. Among the Egyptian gods and goddesses, Ma’at has probably the most recognizable appearance as she often depicted as a woman with outstretched wings wearing an ostrich plume on her head, or just as an ostrich feather alone that conveys her presence. Ma’at is believed that the Ten Commandments of the Christian Bible were inspired from the 42 principles of Ma’at. These represent altogether an ancient ethical every Egyptian citizen was expected to follow through their respective life. According to the principles of Ma’at, they were to act honorably and sincerely when dealing with matters regarding life itself and the people around them. There’s that much stories about Ma’at, but the most important role of this Egyptian deity was the she occupied in the afterlife in the hall of the two truths, which is mentioned in the book of the dead. The feather of Ma’at was used to judge the souls of the dead in order to see whether or not they were burdened with sins, therefore see whether or not they will reach the paradise. It’s unfortunate that during the Greco-Roman period, Ma’at seemed to have lost her central role in the Egyptian religion, and her functions were taken over by the Egyptian goddess Isis.
In summary, the goddess Maat could be compared to a good angel, she walked with one through life, until that person go into the afterlife.
