Welcome to The Real History. A blog where I talk about the real historical inspirations for my YA fantasy debut “Treasures of Egypt.”
Maat — The Goddess of Justice
In ancient Egypt, the concept of Maat stood at the very heart of society's beliefs and practices. Maat embodied the foundational principles of order, truth, and justice that ancient Egyptians held dear. They saw it as the cosmic force that ensured the universe operated harmoniously, from the predictable change of seasons to the reliable patterns of the stars. Today we discuss the goddess Maat who personified the cosmic concept of order and how she was depicted in the YA fantasy novel, Treasures of Egypt: the Spear & the Scythe.
