Sinopsis

This book is hoped to be only the beginning of explorations of the ancient Egyptian notion of upholding Order (Ma&rsquo,at) through violence. Because of the scope of the topic, this study is limited to the most extreme measure of violence perpetrated in the service of Order: sanctioned killing. This study explores texts that affirm the proper occasions for such killings, and the religious framework behind these actions.
