What they knew about life, and fate

An advanced understanding of the cosmos and the movement of the planets was embedded in Ancient Egyptian rituals and beliefs. Very significant to them was the concept of Ma’at, representing order, justice, truth, and balance. They believed this was essential for maintaining harmony, not just in their society but in the entire universe.

Isfet was the opposite of Ma’at, representing chaos, injustice and violence.
The Ancient Egyptians believed in fate but felt that respecting the hidden powers of the cosmos, following your intended path, and living by the tenets of Ma’at, would influence your destiny and afterlife.
All three novels reflect these beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians. A Long Walk With Fate is rooted in the warring concepts of Ma’at and Isfet, and how forgiveness is critical to moving forward.
