This book is a coffee table book that details the Laws of Maat from ancient Egypt, which predate the Ten Commandments. The Laws of Maat were the foundations of law in ancient Egypt, having been written at about 2300BCE. The Laws of Maat were not only meant to assist a person in this corporeal life but were also meant to be recited in the afterlife, in order to prove that a person had lived an ethical life so that they could attain everlasting life.
