  Ancient Egyptian Law and...

  Ancient Egyptian law was deeply rooted in the concept of Ma’at, the divine order that governed the universe and ensured balance, truth, and justice. This principle was not just a philosophical ideal but a practical guide for governance and social conduct. The legal system in Egypt was designed to maintain harmony within society, regulate disputes, and uphold the authority of the ruling elite. Unlike modern legal frameworks based on written statutes, Egyptian law was a combination of tradition, royal decrees, and religious doctrines. It was adaptable, relying on the wisdom of judges and officials rather than rigid legal codes. 
  The origins of legal traditions in ancient Egypt can be traced back to the early dynastic period when the first centralized state emerged. As society became more complex, a structured system of governance was necessary to manage resources, trade, and interpersonal conflicts. The earliest evidence of legal practice comes from administrative records, tomb inscriptions, and temple documents, which indicate that law was an integral part of daily life. While no single codified legal text has survived, references to decrees issued by pharaohs suggest that laws were issued and enforced at the highest levels of authority. 
  At the heart of Egyptian governance was the role of Ma’at, which extended beyond ethical conduct to legal proceedings. Ma’at represented a cosmic balance that rulers were duty-bound to uphold. The pharaoh, as the earthly representative of the gods, was seen as the ultimate source of justice. His decrees and judgments set legal precedents, shaping the administration of law across the kingdom. This divine connection made Egyptian law unique, as it blended religious principles with practical governance, ensuring that justice was not only a human responsibility but also a sacred duty.

  Teotihuacan and Cholula: The...

  Although Teotihuacan reached the height of its power and influence about 1500 years ago, the city is still an endless topic of fascination and debate, in addition to being Mexico’s most toured archaeological site. The origins of the city remain mysterious (as do the city’s founders), and scholars are still coming up with theories to explain the city’s demise. All the while, later Mesoamerican civilizations remembered Teotihuacan, and the Aztec even considered the city’s ruins a site of worship. 
  Cholula is one of the most interesting, enigmatic, and forgotten cities in ancient Mesoamerica, and few people are aware that it is the oldest continuously-occupied settlement in the entire Western hemisphere. The current city is known for the Great Pyramid, which has the largest base of all pyramids in the world, as well as its many colonial churches and constant religious celebrations. All of these things ensure that Cholula is heavily visited, but the tremendous importance of Prehispanic Cholula has mostly been lost in the historical accounts of Puebla and even Mexico as a whole. 
  During the height of Teotihuacan’s influence in the Classic period and the expansion of the Aztecs in the Postclassic, Cholula managed to maintain its independence and grew to become the greatest religious center in central Mesoamerica. As the main site for the cult of the god Quetzalcoatl, Cholula received pilgrims from many Prehispanic cities, and the two high priests of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl were charged with confirming the legitimacy of these foreign rulers, making their role one of the most important in the region. Most sources note that Cholula was a great religious center with a large pyramid, and that it was the site of a terrible massacre perpetrated by the Spanish, but other than that those details, the impressive city remains mostly unknown.

  What’s Done Cannot Be Undone: A...

  Athena Stevens

  This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad. 
  Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions – and inaction – every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way. 
  A memoir like no other, What’s Done Cannot be Undone takes readers on a whirlwind journey through Athena’s life, providing a profound insight into the realities of moving through the world as a disabled woman. From being born ‘dead’ to co-founding the Women’s Equality Party; from not being picked to play the back of a cow to an Olivier Award nomination, this complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir is laugh-out-loud funny, unrelentingly furious, and a powerful reminder that changing the world singlehandedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics. 
  In What’s Done Cannot be Undone, Athena Stevens, a renowned figure in the arts and entertainment industry, shares her life story, a compelling mix of autobiography and social commentary. Her memoir is a powerful reminder of the importance of activism and justice in our society.
