The "Maxims of Ani" is an ancient Egyptian text, part of the Book of the Dead, that dates back to around 1250 BCE. It consists of a collection of moral and ethical teachings, presented in the form of proverbs. These maxims emphasize virtues such as truth, justice, and respect for others, reflecting the values of Ancient Egyptian society. The text is attributed to Ani, a scribe and nobleman, and serves as a guide for living a righteous life. The maxims were intended to instruct individuals on how to behave in both their earthly lives and in the afterlife, promoting a harmonious existence in accordance with Ma'at, the concept of truth and order.
