The Ma'at Institute
The Ma'at Institute is a private fully accredited E-learning program created to teach kemetic history and science in the ancient teachings of Shetaut Neter.
What does Kemet Mean
"Kemet" (keh-MET) is the term ancient Egyptians used as the official name of their country. (Sometimes they also called it Ta-mery, or "beloved land.") Kemet translates as "Black Land", in reference to the fertile banks and fields surrounding the Nile (black from the soil). In contrast, "deshret" is the term for the "Red Land" or the desert (a modern term derived from "deshret") that surrounds the fertile "kemet". By using the term Kemet instead of Egypt, we refer to the country by the name its own people called it (Egypt is an English form of the Greek name for this land, Aegyptos, itself derived from Coptic hi(t)-ka(u)-ptah, "the house/temple of the ka of Ptah").

Kemetic Spirituality: The Oldest Faith Tradition
The 42 laws of Ma'at are the oldest moral and ethical codes known to human beings. Ma'at, when translated from the Medu Neter into english, means for truth, justice, harmony, righteousness, order, balance, reciprocity, and propriety). Ma'at was found in the Pert Em Heru (The Book Coming Forth By Day), which the invaders of Afrika called this text, "The Book of the Dead." Medu Neter is the ancient language of Kemet (Egypt). When the European and Arab invaders of Afrika conquered Kemet (Egypt), they changed the Afrikan names of Kemet's nation, architecture, leaders, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, and theologians to foreign names. The name Kemet was changed to Egypt. Kemet means the land of the Blacks. The conquers rename its language of Medu Neter to the hieroglyphics. Afrika's invaders made Kemet's spirituality illegal. They closed all the faith temples of Kemet for hundred years. Although Kemet was taken over by colonizers, the Medu Neter still existed. It documents the recorded history of Kemet, its culture, its spirituality, its sciences, its theology, and its philosophical traditions. Ma'at comes from ancient Kemetic spirituality. In the contemporary world, Kemet's, faith tradition is slowly becoming the spirituality and philosophies of the modern world, particularly in the Afrikan world community.

The 42 laws of Ma'at were "discovered" in ancient Kemet (Egypt), Afrika's greatest high culture Nile Valley Civilization. Scholars of Ma'at realize that Afrika's 42 laws of Ma'at are the origins of the world's major religious (i.e., Judaism, Christianity, and Al-Islam) code of ethics and morals. The 42 laws of Ma'at existed thousands of years before Judaism, Christianity, and Al-Islam came into existence. In fact, many respected theologians, Egyptologist, and history scholars have written books presenting to humanity that the world's western religions plagiarized Ma'at to develop their own versions of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic ethical and moral codes. Like many people that have exploited Afrika of its people, land, treasures, and resources, so too were her religious traditions plundered. Unfortunately, the world's major religions did not give credit back to Afrika for her helping them find their pathway to a code of ethics and morality.

Ramesses II ] variously also spelled Rameses[6] or Ramses, 'Ra is the one who bore him' or 'born of Ra', Koinē Greek: Ῥαμέσσης, romanized: Rhaméssēs, c. 1303 BC – July or August 1213; reigned 1279–1213 BC[7]), also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, itself the most powerful period of Ancient Egypt.[8] His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor".
He is known as Ozymandias in Greek sources (Koinē Greek: Οσυμανδύας, romanized: Osymandýas),[9] from the first part of Ramesses's regnal name, Usermaatre Setepenre, "The Maat of Ra is powerful, Chosen of Ra".[10]
Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan. He also led expeditions to the south, into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. The early part of his reign was focused on building cities, temples, and monuments. He established the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Delta as his new capital and used it as the main base for his campaigns in Syria. At fourteen, he was appointed prince regent by his father, Seti I.[8] He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1213 BC.[11] Manetho attributes Ramesses II a reign of 66 years and 2 months; most Egyptologists today believe he assumed the throne on 31 May 1279 BC, based on his known accession date of III Season of the Harvest, day 27.[12][13] Estimates of his age at death vary; 90 or 91 is considered most likely.[14][15] Ramesses II celebrated an unprecedented thirteen or fourteen Sed festivals (the first held after thirty years of a pharaoh's reign, and then, every three years) during his reign—more than any other pharaoh.[16] On his death, he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings;[17] his body was later moved to a royal cache where it was discovered in 1881, and is now on display in the Egyptian Museum
