Having some proficiency in mdw ntr and being familar with other aspects of this work, I came into the lecture excited. The key aspect, which I see — in retrospect — is a focused discussion on the relationship between Being Black and Being Ruler. It is a good introductory lecture for a political understanding of Kemet which is important because it is, at this time, the first touch on the relationship between Ma’at and Black Power in social and governance domains and external/political for the Nsw Bity through primary sources. In particular, the emphasis on expelling the aamw. I will say Nana nsw bity Hat-shepsut stands out to me because she had to make sure they were kept out even though the HKa-Xswt ‘hyksos’ were driven out a century or so before she was coronated as Nsw Bity. Also, the multidimensional aspects of Ma’at are very much needed in a period of isft where Ma’at is misconstrued with cesspool ideas of ‘egalite’ ‘non-violence’ and other delusions. In short, definitely an important discussion and slide reading for history classes on classical Kmt and mdw nTr classes.
One thought for the author — I would like to know what are related terms in contemporary Kmt are used to articulate Ma’at in its various capacities? More specifically, do some have one singular concept like Ma’at or a matrix of words that translate into different capacities of Ma’at?
