Maat

喵兮兮

Maat, also spelled Mayet, in ancient Egyptian religion, the personification of truth, justice, and the cosmic order. The daughter of the sun god Re, she was associated with Thoth, god of wisdom.

Maat's faith is related to everyone's eternal life. In ancien Egypt, Maat is the criterion for determining whether the deceased can obtain immortality. Therefore, in the spiritual judgment ceremony described in the Book of the Dead, one end of the scale records the heart of the dead's good and evil, while the other end is the ostrich feather symbolizing Maat. Only the heart of good greater than evil can be as heavy or lighter than the feather.

在古埃及宗教中，Maat也拼写为Mayet，是真理、正义和宇宙秩序的化身。太阳神Re的女儿，她与智慧之神Thoth有关。

Maat的信仰与每个人的永生有关。在古埃及，Maat是判定死者能否获得永生的标准。 在《亡灵书》所叙述的心灵审判的仪式上,天平的一端记录着亡灵善恶是非的心脏，而另一端则是象征Maat的鸵鸟羽毛，只有善大于恶的心脏才能与Maat等重或比她轻。

The meaning of Maat is so rich that some scholars believe that no modern vocabulary can summarize Maat, and she is not translatable.

Maat is both a person and an idea. As an idea, she is the concept of truth and justice. She is a custodian of the laws and values of Egypt, as well as universal harmony.
