A stunning depiction of 𓅊𓈌𓏏𓏯𓏰 ‘Ra-Horakhty’ & 𓌷𓂝𓏏𓁦 ‘Maat’ standing behind a 𓊯 ‘table with offerings’.

From the tomb (KV14) of Queen 𓏏𓄿𓄊𓂋𓏏𓂝𓅐𓋔𓌸 ‘Tausert’, and later reused and extended by King 𓇳𓁩𓁣𓈘𓏏𓂝𓂋𓂋 ‘Setnakht’ at the 𓄿𓏏𓊨𓏏𓉐𓉻𓏏 ‘Valley of the Kings.

(Around 1186 BC)

The god 𓇳𓏤 ‘Ra’ merged with the state god 𓉡 ‘Horus’ into 𓅊𓈌𓏏𓏯𓏰 ‘Ra-Horakhty’ (“Ra, who is Horus of the two Horizons”) the supreme personification of the sun.

𓌷𓂝𓏏𓁦 ‘Maat’ was a goddess who personified the concepts of: truth, balance, harmony, order, law and morality.

But she also regulated the stars and seasons.

‘Maat’ represented the ethical and moral principle that every Egyptian citizen was expected to follow throughout their daily lives.
