My story today is about justice and social justice in the ancient Egyptian state.
In the ancient Egyptian language, Shen Ren is a cartouche, and cartouche is a Greek word that we also use, and it means the plate on which the names of the king and his attributes are written in the modern sense used today. Business Card
And we still use it when we describe a person of greatness or dignity and say so-and-so had his reputation and resonance.
There are 561 kings. Each king has a Shen Rang plate dedicated to him
And in the book of Professor Dr Mahmoud El-Sakka, Professor of Law at Cairo University, he says that the ancient Egyptian civilization lived thousands of years because it achieved justice
The law in ancient Egypt was universal in its purpose, just in its rulings, and pure in its articles, astonishing historians, because it is based on two pillars: justice is the basis of kingship between the ruler and the ruled and social justice. All are equal before the law.
Where the Greek Solon came to Egypt and was forced to embrace the Ammonites, meaning the followers of his servants Amun, to be able to enter the temples and offices to learn law and democracy and travel to Greece to announce his law and democracy, but he was taken from the ancient Egyptian libraries until he met one of the priests and because the priests were on a level of knowledge and knowledge. The Greeks are children. For us, the Greeks called for democracy 500 years BC, and we Egyptians did it more than 5000 years ago.
As for the proof that Egypt was applying justice and democracy?
A committee was formed at the trial, consisting of 15 judges. On the day the son of King Ramses III, whose name was Bentaur, was accused of treason and coup against his father, the court sentenced him to death by hanging.
The mouth of the unknown mummy was also found open, and the facial features spoke with all manifestations of fear and panic from the painful fate. The radiology team found confirmed signs of the effects of the hanging ropes on the throat area.
Which confirms the death of the young man by hanging. The mummy is in the Egyptian Museum.
This is how Egypt was from ancient times a fair country, so the Egyptian civilization lived for thousands of years, and we are still discovering and learning from our ancestors.
