 The Ethics and Morality of the Ancient Egyptians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Particularly in the most ancient of times, it should be noted that the people of Egypt had an obligation to uphold ma'at through obedience to the king, which doubtless added in the formation of the early state.
In ancient Egypt, there was probably never a theoretical framework as such that dealt with these issues, but the concept of what the Egyptians considered correct moral conduct can be deduced from various written sources, particularly autobiographies and texts that we now refer to as wisdom literature.
The fact that Egyptians in general and those officials specifically who were responsible for maintaining ma'at were fallible is better attested from surviving letters and documents from the workers village at Deir el-Medina on the West Bank at Thebes (modern Luxor).
