person to keep in mind and strive to achieve. These principles are known as "Negative Confessions" because they usually begin with a negative statement, and are simply affirmations of acts one has avoided in his life as he strives to live by Ma'at.
They were very similar and most likely, seminal to the laws of Moses that we are currently familiar with (Moses according to tradition, was raised in Egypt). Among them are the statements- "I have not stolen or robbed with violence"; "I have not done murder"; "I have not defiled the wife of any man", etc.

Their thanks to the people who consciously left them with this gift was to call them primitive, savage and incapable of development. ~ Thanks.
