Always profound knowledge. I must find my way to the University of Ghana for my Ph.D and to learn from you as well. Much respect Dr. Obadele Kambon.

Once again. Very informative video filled with great knowledge about Kemet and Ma'at. Nana, thank you for always sharing enlightening knowledge with all of us. We appreciate your work.
Please here are a few of my humble observations.
Regarding the host's question about the difference between Ma'at and the Biblical Ten Commandments. That was a very good question from him, and a great answer from you. As you were answering, I started thinking about it from the point of view of Spirituality. Cause Kemet was more advanced in Spirituality. And because of that, the Copied and Plagiarized Ten Commandments on its own merit proves that it was given to people who were NOT advanced in Spirituality.
Why do I say that? Well, you only say "DO NOT DO THIS", or DO NOT DO THAT" to Children, or adults who are not MATURED in Spirituality. CHILDREN and UNCIVILIZED ADULTS lack Self Control. In other words, the Ten Commandments are for those who DO NOT PRACTICE MAAT in their daily activities. Those who are NOT CIVILIZED nor Spiritually Awakened. Those who are "CHILDREN" when it comes to Spirituality, CIVILITY, and JUSTICE. So they have to be "COMMANDED" or ORDERED" to NOT STEAL, TO NOT KILL, TO NOT LIE like little Children. etc.
But when it comes to KEMET, they were the ADULTS in Spiritual enlightenment, Science, Mathematics, Medicine, Civilization, and of course they were the ORIGINATORS of MAAT. So they were Spiritually Consciously balanced. And so they KNEW or they were CONSCIOUS about Maat, and they practiced it.
So in my opinion, MAAT is a way to SWEAR that you "The "SPIRITUALLY GROWN UP" person haven't done what you KNOW you shouldn't do. Hence, the "I HAVE NOT DONE THIS", "I HAVE NOT DONE THAT. I see MAAT as the same as in Ghana, TO SWEAR = ka nTAM. And here, I may be exaggerating, but I see the similarities in the Kemetic MAAT and the Ghanaian nTAM. Both represent a SWEARING. Since I'm not a linguist, I most likely don't know what the hell I'm talking about. LOL. So please correct me. I'll humbly learn.
So in closing, My suspicion is that The Ten Commandments were for the Uncivilized "CHILDREN" when it comes to Spirituality. Their MYTHIC leaders needed to ORDER and COMMAND them By saying "Thou Shall Not kill" or "thou shall not lie", plagiarizing Ma'at, of course. Becuse they were UNCIVILIZED. And the Ma'at is for the ADULTS who are advanced in Spirituality, enlightenment, Civilization, Justice, Science. Etc.
You tell AN "IRRESPONSIBLE CHILD" and AN OUT OF CONTROL BRUTE: "Thou shall not Steal.
"Thiou shall not Kill. Etc.
But an ADULT Who is CIVILIZed has Self control, practices Ma'at automatically. So he or she is RESPONSIBLE. Therefore confident to Stand in front of the Abosom and SWEAR (MAaT / ka nTAM) that: "I have not Stolen from anyone". " I have not killed anyone". And so forth.
Nana, thank you for your dedication to the work of Abibifahodie. Abibiman da wo ase pii.
KNOWing is better than beLIEving.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the child/adult parallel. There are methods to test whether your linguistic inferences are correct. The main one is called the comparative method where you test to see whether sound correspondences are systematic and recurrent across the sounds of the language.

Thank you, Nana. I really appreciate you helping me to understand linguistic methods. This comparative method is Blacktastic.

Dr. Obadele Kambon,
Why do many not talk about Ma'at compliment partner Må'a. Can you do a short show or lecture on this deity. Thank you..

Not sure what transcription system you're using, but
mꜢꜢ is represented as the divinity of sight.
mꜢꜤ (which is a different word) is typically represented as an abstract concept for true/truth. The complement of MAat is
ḏḥwti.
