Who is the goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order?

The story behind the answer

Maat is correct because she personifies truth, justice, and the cosmic order that keeps the universe balanced in ancient Egyptian belief. Pharaohs were charged with “upholding Ma’at,” and in the afterlife a person’s heart was weighed against her ostrich feather in the Hall of Two Truths—only a heart as light as her feather proved a just life.

Remember it this way: Ma’at sounds like “math,” the realm of balance and order. She’s both a goddess and a guiding principle of harmony. By contrast, Isis is the Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood, while Athena and Nyx are Greek (wisdom/war and night, respectively).
