The Goddess Tefnut spoke to me, and said,
"I'm very angry, Tefnut cooking."
Tefnut was renamed Maat, Mother Nature...
"In Coffin Texts spell 80, new identities are given to Shu and Tefnut. Atum names Shu as Life and Tefnut as Maat (Truth, Justice, Order)."
Maat ruled over all the gods in Egypt...
"But this hierarchy of gods with the sun-god at the top doesn't quite match the picture exactly. For at the top of the universal order stood a goddess, a teenage girl goddess who was often represented as a pair of twins, Ma'at. This unprepossessing goddess literally ruled everything. She was not the sun and she was not power and strength; she represented, rather, an abstraction. She was "Truth" or "Order." For the Egyptian believed that the universe was above everything else an ordered and rational place. It functioned with predictability and regularity; the cycles of the universe always remained constant; in the moral sphere, purity was rewarded and sin was punished. Both morally and physically, the universe was in perfect balance.
The Egyptian word for this balance was the Egyptian word for "truth," ma'at; this is perhaps the single most important aspect of Egyptian culture that you can learn. For once you really understand this concept, the whole of Egyptian culture begins to make sense. The order of the universe (ma'at ) functioned with unswerving accuracy; it was maintained by the goddess Ma'at. This meant that the concept of "truth" meant for the Egyptian the the rational and orderly working of the universe rather than its diverse phenomena. The Egyptian, then, believed that he or she understood how the universe operated; all phenomena could be explained by an appeal to this understanding of the rationality of the universe. http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/EGYPT/MAAT.HTM
This is what a scholar says in this book from Oxford University Press (Page 95 #13)
"Confusingly, in spite of the story of the sole eye searching for Shu and Tefnut, the eye is quite often identified as Tefnut."
Tefnut is the Sphinx
From Light Into Darkness: The Evolution of Religion in Ancient Egypt
By Stephen S. Mehler
Starting on Page 16: The last person the Sphinx spoke to became Pharaoh.
According to ancient Egyptian texts, the pharaoh built the enclosure after the Sphinx appeared in his dream and requested to clear the sand surrounding its body. The Sphinx also promised Thutmose IV that if he restored the statue, he''d become king of Egypt.
