ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RELIGION:
EGYPTIAN religion was a combination of beliefs and practices which, in the modern day, would include magic, mythology,science, medicine, psychiatry, spiritualism, herbology, as well as the modern understanding of ’religion’ as belief in a higher power and a life after death. Religion played a part in every aspect of the lives of the ancient Egyptians because life on earth was seen as only one part of an eternal journey, and in order to continue that journey after death, one needed to live a life worthy of continuance.
During one’s life on earth, one was expected to uphold the principle of ma'at (harmony) with an understanding that one’s actions in life affected not only one’s self but others’ lives as well, and the operation of the universe. People were expected to depend on each other to keep balance as this was the will of the gods to produce the greatest amount of pleasure and happiness for humans through a harmonious existence which also enabled the gods to better perform their tasks.
By honoring the principle of ma'at (personified as a goddess of the same name holding the white feather of truth) and living one’s life in accordance with its precepts, one was aligned with the gods and the forces of light against the forces of darkness and chaos, and assured one’s self of a welcome reception in the Hall of Truth after death and a gentle judgment by Osiris, the Lord of the Dead.

I really, really like this. It shows that great filmmakers have respect for others in their field. Enough to acknowledge when another film beats a record their own movie set.
