The Jackal God... Who is your favourite member of the Egyptian Pantheon?

[@emekaumeh3993]

Osiris is my favourite

[@Squeam9750]

Ra

[@SwayRod836]

Bastet

[@KindJoe]

Nai H'sittocs is my fave. He isn't well known in the Egyptian Pantheon. He was the god of langour, or slowness if you prefer.

[@js1423]

Horus. Though I also like Osiris, Amun, Sobek and Re.

[@Nitephall]

I had to fight Anubis in a video game and he was one scary dude.

4:42 That the heart should be lighter than the feather of Maat is wrong. They must be equally balanced. The hall in which the heart is weighted is called "Hall of the Maatj" which means literally "two Maat"; therefore the halls name is often translated as the hall of the complete or bothsided truth/justice. The feather is a metaphor for how delicate the balance with truth/justice should be - not even by the weight of a feather to deviate from it; your heart is then Maat (true/just) - indicated by the feather on the other scale to confirm that your heart is indeed like the feather "Maat", which is why such ones got the title "Maa-Kheru", which means "true/just of voice". Also it is said that Maat represents balance, order, harmony, law and morality. How can an imbalanced law provide harmony or morality? It is said that Maat regulate the stars* (and the seasons)* - which are the all the celestial bodies at that time. If the acceleration is higher than the centripetal force of a planet, the planet drifts into space. If the centripetal force is higher than the acceleration of a planet, the planet falls into the sun. If the acceleration is in an acceptable balance with the centripetal force, the planet maintains its orbit; so the order of our solarsystem depends on this balance, as well the survival of all life on earth. Even the sun has its own "orbit" inside our galaxy, from which it cannot deviate. It is a guiding principle of balance which provides order and harmony to the cosmos, as well as here on earth: Maatj Whoever spread this idea, that your heart must be lighter than the feather of truth/justice in the hall of bothsided truth/justice, not only doesn´t understand law, he lacks basic human integrity and education. * *Source:* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maat
