Maat: Balance of the Cosmos (Gods of Egypt, Myth and Mystery, #15)
By AJ Carmichael
Length7h 26m
About this audiobook
Long before the rise of Ra, before the first kings claimed divine authority, and before Egypt's great temples carved their theology into stone, there was Neith. Emerging from the deepest layers of predynastic Egypt, she stands not as a creation of myth, but as a force already present—ancient, unyielding, and foundational. Her symbols, etched into the earliest artifacts of the Nile Valley, speak of protection, order, and power at a time when the world itself was still being defined. This book explores Neith as both origin and constant—creator without beginning, guardian of cosmic balance, and the silent architect of existence. Through archaeology, inscriptions, and enduring iconography, her identity unfolds not as a story told, but as a reality preserved. She is the weaver of structure, the defender of order, and the presence that precedes explanation itself.
