Thoughts on Mahat ... Then and Now

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report:
Ancient Egypt ran according to what might be called the Mahat system. In this societal organizational system the Pharaoh sat at the top of the authoritarian food chain as the incarnated son of Ra. Pharaoh ruled by fiat power and there was no authority that was transcendent to the word of Pharaoh. All of Egypt was owned by Pharaoh and all Egyptians were slaves to Pharaoh. Beneath Pharaoh was the Vizier who was the highest slave in the Mahat system. The only person that the Vizier was a direct slave was to Pharaoh. All beneath the Vizier were slaves to Pharaoh through slavery to the Vizier. Beneath the Vizier were further layers of authoritarian rule – each layer being a slave to Pharaoh through their slavery to the next levels above them.
